The empirical evidence reported here reveals that a positive oil price shock appreciates the local currency, increases the interest rate, output, and prices. Furthermore, once the exchange rate channel is closed, an increase in the interest rate and prices will be higher. However, we could not find statistically significant evidence that the effect on output does change with the exchange rate regime. This conclusion is parallel of a country that has a low level of inflation commitment.vii, 27 leaves ; 30 cm.Englishinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessExchange rate channelMexican economyOil price shocksVector atoregression modelThesisB160325
