Empirical analysis on the real effects of inflation and exchange rate uncertainty: The case of Colombia

This paper re-examines the effects of inflation and exchange rate uncertainty on real economic activity. The existent literatura has treated both issues as separate subject matters. It has emphasized either the issue of inflation uncertainty or exchange rate uncertainty on economic growth or on diff...
