Inflação: uma análise do processo inflacionário no Brasil pela perspectiva histórica e das medidas de núcleos do IPCA

Abstract

The present work deals with a historical overview of the inflationary process in Brazil and it was observed that inflation has always been a problem for the Brazilian economy, especially in the 1950s, only after the implementation of the Real Plan in 1994 in the Government of Itamar Franco , was controlled. With this problem addressed, the inflation target emerged, which works as a guide for agents' inflation expectations, leading the inflation rate towards the natural rate. The mechanism used to achieve this objective was the survey of bibliographic analysis, accompanied by data collection and comparative analysis of the Broad Consumer Price Index (IPCA) with each nucleus released by BACEN. From there, it was possible to observe that the results of each core has a different effect regarding the IPCA, so the cores point out that even excluding the groups that are inflating prices, inflation will remain high, that is, the effect has already become generalized.
