This paper explicitly tests the impact of the most recent of such interventions: a subsidy to the mortgage interest rate. Our results show that the subsidy boosted mortgage loans by around 38 percent. However, we also find that real interest rates went up by 1.09 percent, i.e., there has been an incomplete pass-through of the subsidy to the consumer. We estimate the pass-through of such intervention to be in the range of 65 percent to 74 percent.Este artículo evalúa el efecto de la más reciente estrategia gubernamental para apoyar el sector de la construcción: un subsidio a la tasa de interés hipotecaria. El artículo muestra que el subsidio incrementó los desembolsos hipotecarios en cerca de 38%. Sin embargo, también aumentó la tasa pactada entre bancos y clientes en 1.09 por ciento, es decir, el traspaso del subsidio a los consumidores fue incompleto. Dicho traspaso, estimado en el artículo, se encuentra en un rango de entre 65 y 74 por ciento.36 páginasapplication/pdfengUniversidad de los Andes, Facultad de Economía, CEDEDocumentos CEDE No. 20 Mayo de 2011https://ideas.repec.org/p/col/000089/008749.htmlEffects of a mortgage interest rate subsidy: evidence from ColombiaEfectos de un subsidio a la tasa de interés hipotecaria: el caso de ColombiaDocumento de trabajoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaperhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_8042http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85Texthttps://purl.org/redcol/resource_type/WPMortgage loansMortgage interest rate subsidHistory of mortgage loans in ColombiaHipotecas - Investigaciones - ColombiaHipotecas - Historia - ColombiaSubsidios para vivienda - Investigaciones - ColombiaN96, R21, R28Facultad de EconomíaPublicationORIGINALdcede2011-20.pdfdcede2011-20.pdfapplication/pdf744999https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/54604467-21fc-4356-8be6-b6d8f402e4c6/download39e4e78dd7059b08878d82daeb39edcbMD51TEXTdcede2011-20.pdf.txtdcede2011-20.pdf.txtExtracted texttext/plain81800https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/0ecd6dcc-c6fb-48b7-aaf7-19aa9f30d5aa/download2e457427b13be39f6cf7c309b5332efdMD54THUMBNAILdcede2011-20.pdf.jpgdcede2011-20.pdf.jpgIM Thumbnailimage/jpeg3546https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/82143b6d-6154-4714-ace4-c7181431e39e/download01ebf4d842aeef6d666595e5790d0506MD551992/8252oai:repositorio.uniandes.edu.co:1992/82522024-06-04 15:14:57.952http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/open.accesshttps://repositorio.uniandes.edu.coRepositorio institucional Sénecaadminrepositorio@uniandes.edu.co
