Resumen

  El objetivo de este trabajo es investigar los efectos de los medios masivos de comunicación digitales en la formación de expectativas de inflación. En particular, este trabajo evalúa el impacto de las noticias digitales sobre inflación en los desacuerdos en las expectativas de inflación de los consumidores. Para ello, se utiliza como estudio de caso la economía colombiana para el período 2009-2018. La metodología empleada consiste en evaluar la influencia de las noticias sobre inflación suministrada por cinco periódicos digitales representativos sobre los desacuerdos. Por medio de regresiones econométricas y utilizando el método GMM, se encuentra que el mayor volumen de noticias sobre inflación, así como las noticias sobre incrementos y con tono negativo sobre la inflación tienen la capacidad de reducir las discrepancias entre los agentes.

  The aim of this paper is to investigate the effects of digital mass media on the formation of inflation expectations. In particular, this paper assesses the effects of digital news on inflation on disagreements in consumer inflation expectations. For this, the Colombian economy for the period 2009-2018 is used as a case study. The methodology used consists of evaluating the effects of the news on inflation provided by five representative digital newspapers on the disagreements. By means of econometric regressions, and using the GMM method, the largest volume of news on inflation is found, as well as news on increases and with a negative tone on inflation, have the ability to reduce discrepancies between agents
