Controls on capital inflows and the transmission of external shocks
研究了基于价格的资本流入管制能否隔离外部冲击，发现智利和哥伦比亚的管制措施在一定程度上隔离了特定外部扰动，并增强了政策自主性。
In this paper we attempt to analyse whether price-based controls on capital inflows are successful in insulating economies against external shocks. We present results from vector autoregressive (VAR) models, which indicate that Chile and Colombia, countries that adopted controls on capital inflows, seem to have been relatively well insulated against certain types of external disturbances. Subsequently, we use the autoregressive distributive lag (ARDL) approach to co-integration in order to isolate the effects of the capital controls on the pass-through of external disturbances to domestic interest rates in those economies. We conclude that there is evidence that the capital controls have allowed for greater policy autonomy.
