Abstract The purpose of this study was to empirically verify the existence or not of a distortion in the comparability of information when inflationary effects are omitted from financial statements. Although inflation has been under control in Brazil since the Plano Real, with indices well below those recorded in the 1980s and 1990s, discussing the need for accounting recognition of the effects of inflation remains an extremely relevant and pertinent issue in light of the proposal of accounting to produce faithful information that closely reflects the economic reality in which organizations operate. The results of the research show that financial accounting has been directly affected by the omission of inflationary effects in financial statements, drawing attention to the negative effects this has caused on the quality of the information produced. In order to operationalize the research, the Balance Sheet Monetary Correction (BSMC) was applied to the balance sheets of Brazilian companies from the siderurgical and metallurgical sector listed on the BM&FBOVESPA in the period from 1996 to 2016. Based on the variables net income, return on equity (ROE), and return on assets (ROA), and two conceptual axes of comparability (between entities and between periods), the statistical parameters were developed and the hypotheses were defined, which were tested using the Student t parametric test. This article shows the damage caused to the decision-making process of the external users for whom financial statements are intended when these are prepared neglecting the effects of inflation. This is verifiable through the analyses of the results obtained, including the observation of significant distortions between the means of the corrected indicators and the means of the historical indicators, such as in the case of net income in 2001, 2002, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2016 (33.98%, 91.92%, -65.54%, -30.01%, -53.59%, and 26.30% variation, respectively), of ROE (-67.16%, -61.43%, -53.06%, -63.46%, -133.81%, and 65.00% variations in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2014, and 2015, respectively), and of ROA (-26,70%, -41.14%, -33,34%, -43,49%, 98,83%, and -413,68% in 2005, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2014, respectively).

Abstract This study investigates how the supply shocks, originated by commodity prices, have impacted on the Brazilian inflation, the way, and how efficiently monetary policy of the country has reacted. To this purpose, a semi-structural model containing a Phillips curve, an IS curve, and two versions of the Central Bank's reaction function were estimated. The method of estimation used was the autoregression with Vector Error Correction (VEC) in its structural version. The results suggest that the Brazilian inflation rate has an important index component, but it is also affected by the expectation that the market shows about the inflation, and by the price behavior on the supply side. They both have some impact on inflation expectations.

This paper considers econometric issues related to time-series data that have been subject to abrupt governmental interventions. The motivating example for this study is the Brazilian monthly inflation rate (1974:1-1993:6) which we use throughout for illustration. This series has been heavily influenced by the effect of so-called shock plans implemented by various governments starting in the mid-1980s. The plans act as inliers in the sense that the series is temporarily brought down to low levels before returning to its previous trend path. We analyse the effects on standard unit root tests and measures of persistence caused by the presence of these inliers. We show a substantial bias in favour of concluding that the series is stationary and that shocks have temporary effects. We then construct appropriately corrected statistics which take into account the presence of the plans. These show, unlike the standard tests, that the stochastic behaviour of the inflation rate was indeed unstable over this period. Simulation results are presented to support the adequacy of our corrected statistics.

ABSTRACT In this paper we attempt to show that the gradual process of indexation which results from inflationary processes may be responsible for the reduction in the dispersion of relative prices. We develop a model relating the length of adjustment periods, indexation and the dispersion of relative prices. Next, we look at the evidences on the behavior of relative wages in Brazil. We conclude with a discussion of the efficiency of price freezes as a stabilization strategy.

ABSTRACT The objective of this paper is to analyze the inflation targeting regime (ITR) in Brazil in the light of the experiences of other selected emerging countries, namely: South Africa, Chile, Colombia, South Korea and Mexico. To that end, there is an exposition of the contexts in which ITR was adopted in the selected countries, as well as a comparison between the arrangements of these regimes, to distinguish its main features. Lastly, an autoregressive model is estimated with vector error correction (VEC) for each country in the sample, in order to set the conditions for an analysis of the efficiency of ITR in these economies. The empirical results of the research suggest that the most flexible inflation targeting regimes (South Africa, Chile, Colombia, South Korea) are relatively more efficient in terms of curbing inflation than more rigid regimes (Brazil and Mexico).

Abstract: Supply shocks have frequently been related to the behavior of inflation. Those shocks are in general measured by changes in commodity prices (minerals, oil, agricultural commodities, etc.). The objective of this paper is to examine the influence of supply shocks caused by changes in prices of horticultural products (perishable with short cycles) exert in the Brazilian inflation. Although not quite studied academically, this process has popularly been associated with important variations on the IPCA index. To deal with this process, a Phillips curve, following New Keynesians principles, based on the semi structural model of small size by the Brazilian Central Bank and the estimation method used was Auto-regression with Vector Error Correction (VEC) in its structural version. The results show that there is evidence that the prices of horticultural products may have a considerable participation in the IPCA and inflation expectations variations and their shocks produce effects that persist for several months in the trajectory of these two variables.
