Resumen
El documento está orientado a profesionales de ciencias sociales con el objetivo de orientarles en la comprensión del comportamiento del Índice de Tipo de Cambio Real de Costa Rica (ITCER) en relación con sus fundamentos. Se utiliza el modelo teórico behavioral equilibrium exchange rate (BEER) para identificar y analizar los efectos en estas variables sobre el ITCER. Los seis indicadores analizados fueron: términos de intercambio, absorción fiscal, IED, tasa de interés real doméstica y productividad relativa de la economía. Estos explican adecuadamente el comportamiento del tipo de cambio real, pese a presentar una gran variabilidad. Se identifican claramente dos periodos en el comportamiento del ITCER: el primero (2001 y 2005), se presenta un periodo de depreciación, observándose posteriormente (2006 y 2014) un marcado proceso de apreciación en términos reales del colón costarricense.

The Behavioral Equilibrium Exchange Rate (BEER) is the theoretical model used to identify and analyze the effects of these variables on the ITCER. The six indicators analyzed were terms of trade, tax absorption, foreign direct investment (FDI), domestic real interest rate, and economy relative productivity. These indicators adequately explain the behavior of the real exchange rate, despite their variability. Two periods are clearly identified in the behavior of the ITCER: the first one (2001 - 2005) is a depreciation period while the second one (2006 - 2004) includes an appreciation process of the Costa Rican colon in real terms
