| Sumario: | Over the last three decades, modern monetary theory has been developed within the framework of the “Rules vs Discretion” debate, based on the works of Kydland and Prescott (1977). However, in practice, the distinction becomes less clear, allowing monetary authorities have mixed decisions based on “Rules and Discretion” relying on the different stages of the economic cycle. This debate has had a great significance over the last five years, since the political challenges of the Great Recession have led Central Banks to these kinds of situations, which is particularly visible in developed countries where Central Banks have introduced unconventional monetary policies. In Colombia, this Rules and Discretion framework is useful for the Banco de la República in order to face the end of the economic boom of the miningand energy sector.
