This paper attempts to extend empirical investigations about the asymmetric effects of monetary shocks in the Brazilian economy. We specify and estimate a nonlinear smooth transition vector autoregressive model including output, price level, exchange rate and a monetary policy indicator (Selic...

The objective of this paper is to present the contributions of different sectors to deviations of the inflation target center from 2000 to 2013, and discuss implications for monetary policy. The contributions are measured by the Inflation Targeting deviation Contribution Index (ITCI), which is...

This paper investigates the effect of monetary and exchange rate shocks on disaggregated prices of the Brazilian Consumer Price Index (IPCA), from 1999 to 2011. We analyze the results of a factor-augmented vector autoregressive model (Favar), which are presented by different levels of...

This text proposes three adaptations related to disaggregations in the Brazilian National Consumer Price Index (IPCA) in order to provide relevant data for studies on inflation in disaggregated cuts, in monthly periodicity from August 1999 to September 2014. In the first, the compatibilization...
