This article aims to investigate the relationship between the term structure of interest rates and macroeconomic factors in selected countries of Latin America, such as Brazil, Chile and Mexico, between 2006 and 2014, on an autoregressive vector model. Specifically, we perform estimations of Nelson-Siegel, Diabold-Li and principal component analysis to test how the change of macroeconomic factors, e.g. inflation, production and unemployment levels affect the yield curves. For Brazil and Mexico, GDP and inflation variables are relevant to change the yield curves, with the former shifting more the level, and the latter with greater influence on the slope. For Chile, inflation had the greatest impact on the level and, specifically for Mexico, the unemployment variable also changed the slope of the yield curve.
Este artículo analiza los efectos sobre el comercio y el bienestar de la creación de un área de libre comercio entre los países de la Unión de Naciones Suramericanas (UNASUR) y entre Brasil y el Tratado de Libre Comercio de América del Norte (TLCAN), caracterizando el comercio Sur-Sur y Sur-Norte, respectivamente. En el presente estudio son realizadas dos simulaciones por medio de un modelo de Equilibrio General Computable. Los resultados han demostrado que la UNASUR, a pesar de generar beneficios, expresados, principalmente, en la forma de robustecimiento del bienestar y de las exportaciones de bienes de mayor intensidad tecnológica para los países partícipes, ellos son limitados. Las mayores ventajas ocurren con la liberalización comercial Sur-Norte.
