In the case of Chile, according to his Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) analysis, capital controls succeeded in reducing net short-term capital flows but did not affect long-term flows. As far as Colombia is concerned, the regulations were capable of affecting total flows and also long-term ones. In addition, the co-integration models indicate that the regulations did not have a direct effect on the real exchange rate in the Chilean case. Nonetheless, the model used for Colombia did detect a direct impact of the capital controls on the real exchange rate. Therefore, the results do not seem to support the idea that those regulations were easily evaded. 2012-06-05T22:18:10Z 2012-06-05T22:18:10Z 2007-03 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2007/03/7471923/price-based-capital-account-regulations-effective-developing-countries http://hdl.handle.net/10986/7208 English Policy Research Working Paper; No. 4175 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper Publications & Research Latin America & Caribbean Colombia Chile
