Many studies, both empirical and theoretical, have established the negative effects that a contractive monetary policy can inflict on market competitiveness and how these effects can become permanent. The following article seeks evidence of a permanent change in Ecuadorian competitiveness with its commercial partners Colombia and Peru; between the decade of the 90s, when there was a discretional monetary policy, and the years following the economys dollarization.

Keywords : Monetary contraction; loss of competitiveness; structural break.
