  • 1. Background and motivation

Why use the GPM?

To build a …rst “regional model” that discuss both nominal and real variables in a multicountry setting

Five of the largest LA countries adopted in‡ation targeting at about same time Regional average is built using weights based on GDP-PPP Sample covers 2001.q4-2008.q2

Use of same speci…cation help us somewhat to compare the results across countries (including countries outside LA). However, we will incorporate speci…c country elements for the forecasting rounds.

  • 1. Background and motivation

Growing importance of external linkages in recent years

In the last decade LA countries have become more integrated to the global economy, which could expose them more to global shocks

Real life applications that shaped policy advice in WHD during early summer (REO October 2008) and in recent Art. IV discussions (Mexico)

  • A. In‡ation targeting under stress

  • A. In‡ation targeting under stress

In‡ation in 2008 was on the rise

First real test for the improved policy framework Until recently the in‡ation surge was one of the leading policy issues in LAC

The task: explaining the sources of in‡ation

Supply shocks vs. Overheating? How was the monetary policy response?

The region is and will be a¤ected by the recession in the G3

Identi…cation of transmission channels at the country level is crucial

Trade e¤ects from the U.S. reduced demand for exports important for countries with tighter linkages Weaker commodity prices vs. exchange rate depreciation Credit crunch is landing in the region An important element is timing/composition of policy responses

Incorporate China to the external environment Model the role of commodities. For LA5 will proceed using a generic commodity price index How would the region operate under a “ZIRP" in the G3? Financial conditions in LA5 countries (endogenous risk premium) Compare forecast properties
