Purpose: This paper analyzes the potential presence of time-varying asymmetries in the preference parameters of the Central Bank of Brazil during the inflation targeting regime. Design/methodology/approach: Given the econometric issues inherent to classical time-varying parameter (TVP)...

In this article we seek to estimate the Brazilian “Okun’s law” with quarterly data ranging from 1980Q1 until 2013Q3. Considering the typical Okun's relationship, Δu=α - βΔy, where “β” is the Okun coefficient, we have obtained estimates of β between -0.1878 and -0.2055, such...
