Abstract

This paper conducts simulations of the augmented Taylor rule (with an added exchange rate term). It has also been made to analyze the response from external shocks in a simple Inflation Targeting model with trade balance equations. In contrast to Ball (2000), when the exchange rate is included in the Taylor rule, output volatility increases after a negative shock to the capital inflow. The paper also studies the pass-through from the exchange rate devaluation to inflation considering the recent change in the foreign exchange regime in Brazil. Econometric estimations were performed using the specifications of the pass-through suggested by Goldfajn and Werlang (2000).Este trabalho conduz algumas simulações da regra de Taylor ampliada (com a taxa de câmbio adicionada). Essas simulações foram feitas também para analisar choques externos em um modelo simples de Metas de Inflação com equações de balança comercial. Em contraste com Ball (2000), quando a taxa de câmbio é incluída na regra de Taylor, a volatilidade do produto aumenta após um choque negativo no fluxo de capitais. Além disso, o paper apresenta um estudo do pass-through da desvalorização da taxa de câmbio para a inflação considerando a mudança recente no regime das taxas de câmbio no Brasil. Estimativas econométricas foram feitas usando as especificações do pass-through sugeridas por Goldfajn e Werlang (2000).
