dc.description.abstract Financial Regulations arising from the Basel III Regulatory Framework, in response to the Global Financial Crisis, will impose important transition costs upon the economies of the countries who implement them. In this project, we assessed and contrasted the transition costs to the economies of Puerto Rico (PR) and United States (US) by simulating the main capital requirement provisions under two scenarios (i.e., Base and Regulatory), over the period 2010-2020. We built stress-test models of the respective Financial Industries and linked their outputs to multivariate models that provided macroeconomic outputs. Our findings suggest: 1. Average effects on Real Lending Rates would be slightly higher in PR by mid-simulation (161bps for PR vs. 142bps for US) and indifferent from one economy to the other by the end of the simulation period (125bps for PR vs. 124bps for US) 2. Impact on Lending Volumes would be higher in PR by mid-simulation (-10.4% for PR vs. -9.8% for US) and lower by the end (-7.8% for PR vs. -10.1% for US) 3. Impact on GDP would be lower in PR throughout the entire simulation period (-2.6% for PR vs. -4.0% for US, midway; -1.7% for PR vs. -4.2% for US, final).
dc.description.abstract Las Regulaciones Financieras, al marco de los estándares de Basilea III, en respuesta a la Crisis Financiera Mundial, impondrán costos de transición significativos en las economías de los países a su alcance. En este estudio se evalúan y contrastan dichos costos para las economías de Puerto Rico (PR) y Estados Unidos (EEUU), simulando las nuevas disposiciones sobre requisitos de capital bajo dos escenarios (Base y Regulatorio), durante el período 2010-2020. Para ellos, construimos modelos de “stress-test” para las Industrias Financieras de cada país, cuyos resultados fueron insumo de modelos multi-variables que proporcionaron los resultados macroeconómicos. Nuestros hallazgos sugieren: 1. Efecto promedio en las Tasas de Interés Real sería mayor en PR hacia la mitad de la simulación (161pbs en PR vs. 142pbs en EEUU) e indiferente de una economía a la otra hacia el final (125pbs en PR vs. 124pbs en EEUU) 2. Impacto en los Volúmenes de Préstamos sería mayor en PR hacia la mitad de la simulación (-10.4% en PR vs. -9.8% en EEUU) y mayor hacia el final (-7.8% en PR vs. -10.1% en EEUU) 3. Impacto en el crecimiento de PIB sería menor en PR a lo largo de toda la simulación (-2.6% en PR vs. -4.0% en EEUU a mediados; -1.7% en PR vs. -4.2% en EEUU al final).
