4En un modelo macroeconómico de varias ecuaciones, una variable puede ser independiente en una
ecuación, pero una endógena en el modelo. Por ello, se debe tener en cuenta que, en los modelos, toda
variable exógena es una variable independiente, pero no todas las variables independientes son
exógenas.

Dado que la tasa de inflación promedio internacional usualmente es baja, generalmente la política
macroeconómica busca como objetivo alcanzar una tasa de inflación local similar a ella. Si la tasa de
inflación doméstica fuera igual a la internacional, la inflación doméstica en términos relativos sería igual
a cero. Se tendría una estabilidad relativa de precios.
