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.
