Neste artigo procurou-se aferir a importância das taxas de juro nominais na determinação do nível de endividamento dos agentes económicos. Começamos por analisar a relação entre a estabilidade monetária e o endividamento. Analisamos as consequências macroeconómicas do endividamento....

O trabalho analisou as inter-relações entre as taxas de juros domésticas (SELIC e SWAP DI-PR_E 360) e outras variáveis que teoricamente as afetam ou são afetadas por elas, como: o índice EMBI+, o câmbio, a inação e a razão DLSP/PIB. Além destas variáveis foram introduzidos na analise...

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...

This paper estimates the Brazilian NAILO (Nonaccelerating Inflation Level of Output), obtains (Bayesian) probability bands for the Nailo and for its growth rate, and investigates the relationship between deviations of output with respect to the Nailo and the acceleration of inflation. As...

This paper deals with the existence and identification of a common European growth cycle. Univariate Markov switching autoregressions (MS-AR) are used for individual countries in order to detect changes in the mean growth rate of industrial production. A Markov switching vector autoregression...

Recorremos à teoria do canal do crédito para avaliar a integração de uma pequena economia, com instabilidade nominal, numa união monetária desenhada para garantir um elevado nível de estabilidade monetária. Conclui-se que o choque estrutural da integração na união monetária pode...
