GOMEZ SANCHEZ, Andrés Mauricio  y  ASTAIZA GOMEZ, José Gabriel. Business Cycle and Risk Premium in the Colombian Stock Market. ecos.econ. [online]. 2013, vol.17, n.37, pp.109-124. ISSN 1657-4206.

Through the Hodrick-Prescott methodology this paper presents a review about the relationship between the ex post risk premium of the stock market and business cycles observed in Colombia. Through quarterly information from the fourth quarter of 2001 to the third quarter of 2012, statistical evidence shows that the increase and decrease of ex post risk premium follow a countercyclical behavior in tune with existing research conducted about the United States and emerging economies, although with non-contemporary relationships with private consumption. In addition, it is found that in the last decade the Colombian risk premium follows a process of Auto Regressive Moving Average Models (ARMA), showing that there is no variation in at least two consecutive quarters and whose behavior is generated in part by external events at the domestic economic activity level experienced in near past periods.

Palabras clave : Business cycle; consumption; GDP; unemployment rate; risk premium.
