Abstract (English): This paper applies a Markov switching model to identify state changes in the coincident composite index for Santa Fe, Argentina, providing a complementary and statistically more robust tool compared to traditional empirical approaches. The results show that the two-regime model aligns closely with previously identified periods of classical recessions and expansions, supporting the robustness of the aggregation methodology used to construct the index and confirming the chronology established by empirical methods. Finally, the predictive potential of filtered probabilities is examined for anticipating economic turning points. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish): El presente trabajo aplica un modelo de regímenes de Markov para identificar los cambios de estado en el índice compuesto coincidente de la provincia de Santa Fe, Argentina, constituyendo una herramienta complementaria y estadísticamente más robusta frente a los métodos empíricos tradicionales. Los resultados muestran que el modelo de dos regímenes presenta una alta correspondencia con las recesiones y expansiones clásicas previamente identificadas, lo que valida la solidez de la metodología de agregación utilizada para calcular dicho índice, al tiempo que confirma la cronología previamente establecida por métodos empíricos. Por último, se analiza el potencial predictivo de las probabilidades filtradas para anticipar los giros económicos. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
