Resumen en inglés In this paper we analyze the dynamics of inflation in Venezuela during the last eighteen years, using a Markov-switching estimation model of a New Keynesian Phillips curve. Estimation is carried out using the EM algorithm. The model’s estimates distinguish between a “normal or backward looking” regime and a “rational expectations” regime consistent with episodes of high uncertainty regarding the performance of the economy. This characterization of regimes is based on two elements: the description of the process of formation of inflationary expectations and the main economic events occurred during each regime
