RODRIGUEZ BENAVIDES, Domingo y PERROTINI HERNANDEZ, Ignacio. The Impact of Oil Price Shocks on Mexico’s Real Exchange Rate and Inflation. Econ: teor. práct [online]. 2018, n.spe4, pp.103-123. ISSN 2448-7481. https://doi.org/10.24275/etypuam/ne/e042018/rodriguez.
In this paper the dynamic impact of international oil price shocks on Mexico’s real exchange rate and inflation rate in the period January 1996-November 2016 is dealt with. To that aim, we use a var model to estimate possibly integrated processes and a two-states Markov Switching VAR (MS-VAR) to assess the impact of those shocks on both inflation and the real exchange rate with a regime switching. Our robust Granger causality tests suggest that the real international oil price is exogenously determined vis-à-vis the domestic variables involved in the analysis. Furthermore, from the MS-VAR results we gather that inflation is uniquely affected by real exchange fluctuations -but not so by oil price variations- in the two estimated states, while oil price changes tend to affect the real exchange rate only in one of the estimated states and, through this channel, they possibly alter inflation.
