description The parallel exchange rate is one of the most important economic variables for decision making in Venezuela. With the purpose of analyzing the exchange rate considering its inherent characteristics, excess kurtosis, persistence and asymmetry, a theoretical synthesis of the main stochastic volatility models is made and a set of models is estimated. The results show that the model that best explains its behavior is an EGARCH (1.1); it captures the asymmetric effect of stochastic perturbations on the series. Negative shocks (depreciation of the parallel exchange rate) increase the volatility while positive shocks (appreciation of the parallel exchange rate) seem not to exert any effect.

The parallel exchange rate is one of the most important economic variables for decision making in Venezuela. With the purpose of analyzing the exchange rate considering its inherent characteristics, excess kurtosis, persistence and asymmetry, a theoretical synthesis of the main stochastic volatility models is made and a set of models is estimated. The results show that the model that best explains its behavior is an EGARCH (1.1); it captures the asymmetric effect of stochastic perturbations on the series. Negative shocks (depreciation of the parallel exchange rate) increase the volatility while positive shocks (appreciation of the parallel exchange rate) seem not to exert any effect. El tipo de cambio paralelo constituye una de las principales variables económicas para la toma de decisiones en Venezuela. Para analizar el comportamiento de esta variable tomando en cuenta sus características inherentes, exceso de curtosis, persistencia y asimetría, se hace una síntesis teórica de los principales  modelos estocásticos de volatilidad  y, se estima un conjunto de modelos.  El modelo que mejor ajusta el comportamiento de la variable es un EGARCH (1,1), que captura el efecto asimétrico de las perturbaciones estocásticas sobre la serie. Ante choques negativos (depreciación del tipo de cambio paralelo), la volatilidad asociada se incrementa, pero para choques positivos (apreciación del tipo de cambio paralelo), se mantiene constante.
