Evidence from the Buenos Aires’ semi-dollarized market Efecto transferencia del tipo de cambio a precios de alquiler de vivienda. Evidencia del mercado semi-dolarizado de Buenos Aires Rosanovich, Sergio Andrés Di Giovambattista, Ana Paula The relationship between the exchange rate and the consumer price index (CPI) has been extensively covered. However, aggregated approaches hinder the possibility of identifying specific features of this effect over different sectors of the economy, particularly regarding changes in relative prices. This paper aims to examine the dynamics of the rental housing market at a given shift in the exchange rate. We evaluate the case of the real estate market of Buenos Aires, due to its peculiar configuration: the coexistence of a highly dollarized sales segment and a market of housing rentals in which the operations are denominated in local currency. For this purpose, we carry out a two-step panel regression of spatially disaggregated offer rent prices to estimate the pass-through in a non-tradable market. The estimates show an exchange pass-through to rental prices exceeding 30%, more significant than we would have expected. Múltiples autores han abordado extensamente la relación entre el tipo de cambio y el índice de precios al consumidor (IPC). Sin embargo, los enfoques agregados impiden la posibilidad de identificar características específicas de este nexo en diferentes sectores de la economía, particularmente en relación a los cambios en los precios relativos. El objetivo de este trabajo consiste en examinar la dinámica del mercado de viviendas en alquiler ante fluctuaciones en el tipo de cambio. Se evalúa el caso del mercado inmobiliario en la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, debido a su configuración peculiar: la coexistencia de un segmento de ventas altamente dolarizado y un segmento de alquileres en el que las operaciones están denominadas en moneda local. Con este objetivo, se llevó a cabo una regresión de panel en dos etapas de precios de alquiler de oferta espacialmente desagregados para estimar el efecto transferencia en un mercado no transable. Las estimaciones muestran una traslación de precios de alquiler superior al 30% ante fluctuaciones cambiarias, lo que representa una mayor significatividad de lo esperado.
