Los precios a través de la economía de la información. Una aplicación entre el peso mexicano y el dólar estadounidense, 2014-2016

Abstract

In this document, the economics of information theory is used to explain the impact of dollar auctions in the parity between the Mexican peso and the US dollar to the period of January 2014 and March 2016. For this is considered the George Stigler model which explains how the prices are determined in markets with asymmetric information. The results suggest that the strategy of dollar auctions was one of several other factors affecting the price dispersion dollar during the study period.
