In this paper, we develop a daily-frequency measure of economic and policy uncertainty for Chile, employing information obtained from Twitter accounts using web scraping techniques and following closely the methodology proposed by Baker et al. (2016). Our proposed measure, called DEPUC, aims to capture the level of general disagreement -a proxy for economic and policy uncertainty-in topics such as the economy, economic policies, uncertainty about particular events, and Chile's conjuncture situation. The index, available from 2012 onwards, shows significant hikes that coincide with several local and international episodes that provoked extraordinary levels of uncertainty in Chile, especially after the events around the civil protests in mid-October 2019 and the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in mid-March 2020. An empirical exercise reveals that the proposed measure is a significant determinant of the nominal exchange rate dynamics, especially when this variable's magnitude is high and a week after the shock occurs. On the contrary, when the exchange rate is low, the impact of uncertainty on this variable is quantitatively smaller for any forecasting horizon. These features, and others discussed in the paper, highlight the usefulness of the proposed metric as an additional indicator that policymakers can incorporate into their monitoring toolkit.

En este artículo se hace una exploración a las posturas de política monetaria desde diferentes corrientes de pensamiento económico, las cuales pueden ligarse al comportamiento de la estabilidad del ciclo económico y financiero. Por tanto, parte de la discusión tradicional entre no intervencionismo e intervencionismo; en la primera visión se encuentran los autores clásicos y neoclásicos, con la creencia de que el dinero solo tiene efecto sobre los precios, y dentro de la segunda, Keynes postula la necesidad de un activismo monetario. No obstante, la década de los años setenta marca el principio de la neutralidad del dinero, la que domina en las decisiones de política monetaria, para que luego, en los años noventa, sea aceptado el ciclo económico dentro de la regla de política. Finalmente, el texto analiza cómo con la crisis del 2008 sale a flote una postura de política no convencional, que se transforma en el marco de política para la recuperación económica y se abre el debate acerca del uso de una política macroprudencial por parte de los bancos centrales.******This paper explores the monetary policy positions from different economic schools of thought, which can be linked to the stability behavior of the economic and financial cycle. As such, it is based on the traditional debate between non-interventionism and interventionism. Classic and Neo-Classic authors who believe that money only affects prices uphold the former view. In the latter, Keynes postulates the need for monetary activism. Nevertheless, the 1960s marked the beginning of monetary neutrality as the dominating principle in monetary policy decision-making, so that, later, in the 1990s, the economic cycle was accepted within the policy rule. Finally, the text analyses how, with the 2008 financial crisis, an unconventional policy position was brought forth that later became the policy framework for economic recuperation leading to a debate on the use of macroprudential policy by the central banks.
