Indeed, 60% of these merchants use dissuasive strategies to make their clients pay with cash. This paper presents estimates of merchant card fees that are optimal according to the Tourist Test, so that merchants are indifferent between being paid with cash or cards. We find the estimates are far below the rates that the industry charges because of the low marginal costs of cash and the incentives that sales-tax evasion—a common practice in many developing economies—adds to its promotion. Moreover, we find that reductions in cash usage may lead to an increase in optimal merchant card fees due to scale effects. The results show that the Tourist Test should be used as a guideline for regulators but ought to be complemented with a broader analysis of the industry.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100867,"journal":{"name":"Latin American Journal of Central Banking","volume":"3 4","pages":"Article 100076"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666143822000308/pdfft?md5=1dd4b89d4fe89053f0e9e549ef9a6d76&pid=1-s2.0-S2666143822000308-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72225456","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The empirical analysis finds that a wider use of loan renegotiation, seen through lower values of provisions to total loans, has a negative effect on the change of total factor productivity (in addition to the influence of consumption growth).

The colombian central bank reacts to inflation expectations by using the policy interest rate; consequently, such reaction could be indirectly influenced by fiscal policy behavior. Using monthly data from January 2003 to December 2019, we estimate a reduced-form system of equations that describes the credit risk channel in a small open economy.

We highlight three results from this econometric exercise. First, monetary policy is, in average, procyclical in emerging economies after temporary supply shocks. Second, monetary policy is more procyclical in fixed than in flexible exchange-rate regimes. Third, monetary policy is more procyclical in economies with a higher degree of financial openness.

This paper examines the interest rate pass-through from the monetary policy rate to the retail rates in Colombia and explores asymmetries in the adjustment process within the framework of a nonlinear version of the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) and the non-linear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) models developed by Shin, Yo, and Greenwood-Nimmo (2014). The findings show that the policy rate plays a key role in determining deposit and lending retail rates, but the nature of the pass-through varies across different types of products. In the case of lending rates, the pass-through is nearly complete and takes around 12 months to be nearly complete. The results capture an asymmetric pass-through in deposit rates—i.e., greater when the policy rate is increased than when it is reduced—and an upward rigidity in the lending rates of consumer and ordinary corporate loans, implying that major retail lending rates respond more to policy rate cuts than to hikes, indicating that financial intermediaries are more reluctant to raise interest rates than to decrease them following policy adjustments. Results are robust to the inclusion of additional regressors.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100867,"journal":{"name":"Latin American Journal of Central Banking","volume":"3 3","pages":"Article 100069"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666143822000230/pdfft?md5=2863bc25ef17d301ec0ae81d9f8026b3&pid=1-s2.0-S2666143822000230-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"137255692","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The unsecured (CALL) and secured (REPO) markets are examined, applying complex network analysis. Results indicate that although the secured market has fewer participants, its nodes are more densely connected than the ones in the unsecured market. The interrelationships in the unsecured market are less stable, making its structure more volatile and vulnerable to negative shocks. The analysis identifies two hidden underlying subnetworks within the REPO market: one based on the transactions collateralized by Treasury bonds (REPO-T) and the other based on the operations collateralized by Central Bank (CB) securities (REPO-CB). The changes in monetary policy stance and monetary conditions seem to have a substantially smaller effect in the former submarket than in the latter one. The connectivity levels within the REPO-T market and its structure remain relatively unaffected by the (occasionally pronounced) swings in the other market segment. Hence, the REPO market shows signs of fragmentation in its inner structure, according to the type of collateral asset involved in the transactions, so the average REPO interest rate reflects the interplay between these two partially fragmented submarkets. The REPO market's mixed structure entails one of the main sources of differentiation with respect to the CALL market.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100867,"journal":{"name":"Latin American Journal of Central Banking","volume":"3 3","pages":"Article 100066"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666143822000205/pdfft?md5=4370aab5f7e192b53661da958f85cfb9&pid=1-s2.0-S2666143822000205-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82309167","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
