Abstract
This document aims to establish whether the inflation targeting strategy modified the economic structure in Colombia, causing a structural change in it. To do this, a vector autoregressive model (VAR) and, subsequently, two structural change tests were used: the Chow test and the maximum likelihood test. A VAR model with four variables was estimated for the period 1995M04 to 2015M05. The regression results allow concluding that the adoption of the inflation targeting strategy did represent a structural change for the Colombian economy and it helped to maintain a low and stable inflation.
