Resumo: Partindo da teoria de Keynes sobre o funcionamento da economia - que é marcada pela necessidade de os agentes tomarem decisões acerca de um futuro incerto - e tendo por base o já tradicional debate regras versus discricionariedade, esta pesquisa propõe uma investigação sobre a política monetária em Keynes, tentando sugerir que esta não deve, necessariamente, ser feita de maneira discricionária pela Autoridade Monetária, ao contrário do que afirmam alguns keynesianos e pós-keynesianos. Queremos mostrar que a adoção de certas regras que possibilitam gerar confiança e credibilidade entre os agentes econômicos, em busca da estabilidade dos preços e do ambiente macroeconômico, pode ser uma orientação política compatível com a teoria keynesiana
Abstract: Starting from Keynes's theory of the functioning of the economy - which is marked by the need for agentes to make decisions about an uncertain future - and based on the traditional debate rules versus discretion, this study proposes a research on monetary policy sccording to Keynes and the Post-Keynesians, trying to suggest that this should not necessarily be done in a discretionary way by the Monetary Authority, contrary to what some Keynesians and post-Keynesians hold. We intend to show that the adoption of certain rules that make it possible to build trust and credibility among economic agents, in pursuit of stability both of prices and the macroeconomic environment, can be a political orientation compatible with Keynesian theory

Energy storage can provide many benefits to the electric grid of the United States of America. With recent pushes to stabilize renewable energy and implement a Smart Grid, battery technology can play a pivotal role in the advancement of energy storage of the grid. While there are many types of batteries that have been brought to market in recent years, four commonly mentioned practical systems are sodium sulfur, flow batteries, long life lead acid, and lithium ion batteries. A new type of battery, the "liquid metal battery" boasts low cost and easy maintenance while also providing superior power and capacity. However, this technology is still in its developmental stage. This study implements a framework for analyzing these five technologies for implementation in real-life scenarios. Firstly, a technological comparison of battery types and application requirements is conducted in order to see which technology is best suited for different applications. Next, an in depth cost analysis is done for each technology, so they can be compared on a total cost of ownership (#/kWh cycled) basis. Lastly, each technology is evaluated for each application through a financial analysis. This analysis encompasses current estimates on market valuation and provides net present values of investments for each battery type and application.

Abstract:
In recent years, ,globalization" or ,growing international economic interdependence", which we will use as synonyms here, has generally been understood as offering many opportunities for newly industrialized economies like Korea (here used as an abbreviation for Republic of Korea or South Korea). However, serious challenges are also associated with it. Whereas some time ago, the renowned ,citadels" of learning and policy consulting have taken little notice of this darker side of economic internationalization, recently the perception seems to have changed. In its May 1997 World Economic Outlook, the International Monetary Fund (IMF 1997) extensively discussed the opportunities and challenges of globalization, concentrating on the latter. And the Washington-based Institute for International Economics has begun to publish a couple of books, attempting to ,provide an objective and thorough reassessment of the case for and against globalisation" (Bergsten 1997: vii). The institute, which was frequently quite perceptive of upcoming intellectual and political moods in recent years, suspects that - in the words of its director, C. Fred Bergsten - ,the United States will soon engage in a fundamental debate on the country's trade, and perhaps its overall international economic policy".

Abstract:
This study is motivated by the overall poor performance of International Monetary Fund (IMF) programs in recipient countries in terms of economic growth consequences, and tries to explore the relevance of institutional determinants for economic growth in these program countries. The analysis, at the same time, also takes into consideration the claim by New Institutional Economics (NIE) literature, which points out an overall positive consequence of institutional quality determinants on economic growth for countries in general. Taking a panel data of IMF member countries, the thesis primarily focuses on the IMF program countries, during 1980-2009; a time period during which the number of IMF programs witnessed an increasing trend. Firstly, important determinants of economic- and political institutional quality in IMF program countries are estimated by applying the System- GMM approach, so as to find significant determinants among them. Here, a parliamentary form of government, aggregate governance level, civil liberties, openness, and property rights all enhance overall institutional quality. Specifically, greater monetary- and investment freedom are conducive for political institutional quality, while military in power impacts negatively. Moreover, economic growth is conducive for enhancing economic institutional quality. Thereafter, the impact of the significant institutional determinants is then estimated on real economic growth, both directly, and also indirectly, through the channel of macroeconomic stability. Results mainly validate that institutional determinants overall play a positive role in reducing macroeconomic instability, and through it, and also independently, enhance real economic growth. In the last part of the thesis, Pakistan is selected as a representative example of a frequent user of IMF resources. Here, by applying the Vector Autoregression (VAR) model techniques, various counterfactual scenarios are estimated for a period of 1980-2014, to see impact of an institutional determinant, KOF index of globalization on macroeconomic instability and real economic growth. Results highlight that through enhanced focus on institutional reduced, and hence higher growth rate of GDP can be achieved.

The purpose of this paper is to analyse the realtionships between three stabilization plans and their political regimes. The first chapter presents a period of the braszilian industrialization, throughout the Importations Substition Process (ISP), concluding that, in the middle of the fifties and early in the sisties, the Brazilian economics needed some changes to its economic policy, besides it would necessary to realize institutional reforms. Moreover at the first chapter, we will analyse the main properties of the democratic populist regime. The populism was the background of two stabilization plans the Monetary Stabilization Plan (MSP) and the Triennial Plan wich were not implemented. The second chapter will examine the difficulties to apply economic policies of stabilization, at Juscelino Kubistchek s government (with MSP) and also at João Goulart s government with Triennial Plan. The idea is to pay attention to the politic matter, emphasizing the pressures above the governments done by the workers and by the bourgeoisie, not to accomplish the stabilization plans. At last, the third chapter will discuss the relation between the regime of exception settled in Brazil since 1964 and the accomplishment of the economic policies at that time, interlacing Castelo Branco s government authoritarian regime with the plan of economic satabilization by Campos and Bulhões the government Economic Action Program
Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar as relações entre três planos de estabilização e seus regimes políticos. No primeiro capítulo apresentar-se-á um período da industrialização brasileira, via Processo de Substituição de Importações (PSI), concluindo que em meados dos anos 50 e início dos anos 60 a economia brasileira necessitava de algumas mudanças na política econômica e que seria necessário realizar reformas institucionais. Ainda no primeiro capítulo analisaremos as principais características do regime democrático populista. O populismo foi pano de fundo para dois planos de estabilização, o Plano de Estabilização Monetária (PEM) e o Plano Trienal, os quais não foram implementados. O segundo capítulo examinará as dificuldades para a aplicação de políticas econômicas de estabilização nos governos de Juscelino Kubistchek com o PEM e de João Goulart com o Plano Trienal. A idéia é chamar atenção para o fator político ressaltando as pressões da classe trabalhadora e da burguesia nos governos para a não efetivação dos planos de estabilização. Por fim, no terceiro capítulo, discutir-se-á a relação entre o regime de exceção instalado no Brasil a partir de 1964 e a execução das políticas econômicas da época, entrelaçando o regime autoritário do Governo Castelo Branco com o plano de estabilização econômica de Campos e Bulhões, o Programa de Ação Econômica do Governo (PAEG)

Abstract:
Economic statistics are often taken as given facts, assumed to describe exactly, actual phenomena in society. Many economic series are published in various forms from preliminary, via revisions to definitive estimates. Preliminary series are issued for a number of central economic processes in order to allow for rapid, up-to-date signals. This dissertation focuses on qualitative aspects of available data, and effects of possible inaccuracy when data are used for economic modelling, analysis and planning. Four main questions are addressed: How to characterize quality of data for central economic time series? What effects may possible inaccuracies in data have when used in econometric modelling? What effects do inaccuracies and errors in data have when models are used for economic analysis and planning? Is it possible to specify a criterion for deciding the cost-effective quality of data to be produced as input for economic policy analysis? The various realizations of economic variables often show considerable systematic as well as stochastic discrepancies for the same quantity. Preliminary series are generally found to be of questionable quality, but still considerably better than simple trend forecasts. Compared with the situation in a few other industrialized countries, the variability of Swedish economic statistics is, though, not extraordinary. Illustrations of effects of using inaccurate data, especially of combining preliminary, revised and definitive observations in the same model, are presented. Such inconsistent combinations of various realizations are in actual fact found in many open sources. Inclusion of preliminary series tends to indicate stronger changes in the economy than when definite observations are used throughout. The study is concluded with a section on cost-benefit aspects of economic statistics, and a sketch model for appraising data of variable quality is proposed.

Abstract:
Devalued homes and weakened economic conditions of 2008 led to lost property tax revenues, more vacant and abandoned properties, and destabilized neighborhoods. The first Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP1) was a federal intervention designed to mitigate the damage of the recession, but there is scant evidence of program effectiveness. A phenomenological study, using a method outlined by Moustakas, answered questions on the benefits and barriers of NSP1 as perceived by stakeholders in a Mid-Atlantic city. Stakeholders included nonprofit housing advocates, residents, business partners, and government officials. Theories of collaborative governance and community stakeholders were used to guide the investigation of NSP1 processes and stakeholders' perceptions. Ten stakeholders responded to 9 compound interview questions derived from the research question and 4 subquestions in semi-structured interviews. Responses were transcribed, verified for accuracy, and then coded and analyzed for recurring themes. Five prominent themes emerged: (1) challenges with NSP1 guidelines, (2) importance of partner capacity, (3) positive results in targeted neighborhoods, (4) city's approach to community development, and (5) sustaining positive results. Findings were that NSP1's benefits for residents outweighed procedural barriers and NSP1's short duration still yielded positive results in neighborhoods. This study has policy and social change implications for all stakeholders involved. Recommendations include continuous city involvement to stabilize neighborhoods during future recessions and better entrepreneurial strategies to integrate private and non-profit stakeholders in all phases of collaborative governance.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES
The critical analysis of the processes of accumulation, concentration and centralization of capital in the Brazilian economy define the core of this Dissertation. It starts from Marx's critical perspective in the context of a supposed expansion of competition in market economies. From this theoretical basis it is possible to return to the understanding of the influence of leading companies in price formation, following the path stressed by Kalecki, as well as to make clear the association between neoliberalism and concentration of capital in the Brazilian economy, with emphasis on some strategic sectors. Within this horizon, the forms of control exercised by corporations over their competitors, supported by their most advanced level of technological dominance, their scale of production and the advantages derived therefrom, limit both the entry of new capital and competition, resulting in centralization of capital in the form of mergers and acquisitions, leading to the narrowing of the capital base involved in the dispute. For Chesnais (1996, 2016), the world oligopoly must be regarded as the general form of contemporary market structures. Since the 1970s the concentration and centralization of the world economy has increased, either in specific forms of reducing competition or through the power of collective monopoly by large economic groups. The internationalization of capital is the process which transforms the production and appropriation of surplus value into a movement realized beyond the original, domestic spaces of capitalist accumulation. The insertion of the Brazilian economy in this world process was accentuated in the 1990s and consolidated in the 2000s: it was a question of accelerating the opening of the economy leading to an increase in the centralization of capital and consequent internationalization of the Brazilian economy, especially through mergers and acquisitions, a historical process of extensive productive reengineering, weakening the participation of the Brazilian State in the mediation and regulation of capitalist accumulation. The central result of the dissertation is to make explicit, with reference to Marx's legacy, the relation between the evolution of the processes of concentration and centralization of capitals in Brazil and a new stage of globalization, allowing to illuminate the rising power of corporations, their power over the determination of prices and on the dynamics of economic policies, inserting the Brazilian case in the changes implied by the recent crisis. If our work of synthesis and conceptual revision serves the eminently pedagogic purpose of alerting clearly and objectively to the risks of the neoliberal orthodoxy, it will have paid, albeit in a preliminary way, to the anguish of a generation that has not given up hope, while facing an unprecedented onslaught of economic and political forces that rule through fear, ignorance and consenting subordination
A revisão teórica, histórica e de indicadores dos processos de acumulação, concentração e centralização de capital na economia brasileira a partir da mundialização nos anos 90 constitui o cerne desta Dissertação. Trata-se de recuperar a perspectiva aberta por Marx no contexto de uma suposta ampliação da concorrência em economias de mercado, especialmente na periferia capitalista. A partir dessa perspectiva teórica e histórica é possível retomar o entendimento da influência das empresas líderes na formação de preços, seguindo a trilha apontada por Kalecki, assim como deixar clara a associação entre neoliberalismo e concentração de capitais na economia brasileira, com destaque para alguns setores estratégicos após a estabilização de preços (Plano Real). Ganham relevância as formas captura da política econômica assim como os mecanismos de controle que as corporações impõem aos concorrentes, amparadas em seu nível mais avançado de domínio tecnológico, na sua escala de produção e nas vantagens que daí derivam, dificultando a entrada de capitais ou acirrando a rivalidade com os concorrentes, resultando em centralização de capital na forma de fusões e aquisições, levando ao estreitamento da base de capitais envolvidos na disputa. A perspectiva histórica, amparada pela obra de Chesnais, ressalta o oligopólio mundial como a forma geral das estruturas contemporâneas de mercado. Desde os anos 1970 a concentração e centralização da economia mundial são elevadas, seja na forma específica de limitação à competição, seja via poder de monopólio dos grandes grupos econômicos. A internacionalização do capital é um processo em que a produção e a apropriação de mais-valia são realizadas para além dos espaços de origem dos capitalistas. A inserção da economia brasileira nesse processo de mundialização acentua-se na década de 1990 e se consolida nos anos 2000: tratou-se de acelerar a abertura da economia e fomentar a centralização de capital, processo histórico de ampla reengenharia produtiva, fragilizando a participação do Estado brasileiro na mediação de conflitos e direcionamento do ajuste produtivo. O resultado central da dissertação é explicitar, tendo como referência o legado de Marx, a relação entre a evolução dos processos de concentração e centralização de capitais no Brasil e uma nova etapa da mundialização, permitindo iluminar o processo de ampliação do poder das corporações, inclusive na determinação de preços e na dinâmica da política econômica, inserindo o caso brasileiro nas mudanças implicadas pela crise recente. Se este nosso trabalho de síntese e revisão conceitual servir ao propósito eminentemente didático de alertar com clareza e objetividade para os riscos da ortodoxia doutrinária liberal já terá atendido, ainda que de modo preliminar, à angústia de uma geração que não perdeu a esperança, mas se depara com uma ofensiva sem precedentes das forças econômicas e políticas que imperam através do medo, da ignorância e da subordinação consentida

Abstract:
This study investigates the socioeconomic effects of the economic crises and the post-crisis programs based on the experiences of Argentina, Indonesia and Turkey. For this purpose, main socioeconomic indicators of these countries are analyzed for the 1990-2002 period by utilizing the before-after methodology. The comparative analysis of the results shows that significant deteriorations in the socioeconomic indicators of these countries had occurred in the crisis periods. In addition, the social policy components of post-crisis programs of these countries are analyzed. In this regard, it is found that the governments and the BWIs are more likely to incorporate active social policy measures, which would mitigate the negative socioeconomic effects of the crises on the households, into the post-crisis programs under the presence of significant public pressure emanating from social protests.

Abstract:
Modern banking theories provide a host of explanations for the existence of intermediaries, highlight their important influence on economic growth, delineate the risks inherent in the services they provide, and illustrate the market failures and real costs of bank failures that precipitate the need for regulation and oversight of the sector. This thesis is a collection of three essays that looks at three of these key aspects of financial intermediaries - the development of financial intermediaries, the function of the lender of last resort that has emerged as an important part of the safety net afforded to financial intermediaries, and the occurrence of financial crises. The first chapter of this thesis provides an introduction to the academic literature on financial intermediation covering different theories put forward to explain their emergence, and highlighting the risks inherent in their operation. It emphasizes the crucial functions they perform in the economy and makes a case for regulation and oversight of the sector to reduce the incidence and alleviate the effects of financial crises. The second chapter seeks to determine the policy and institutional factors that influence the development of financial institutions as measured across three dimensions - depth, efficiency, and stability. Applying the concept of the financial possibility frontier, developed by Beck and Feyen (2013) and formalized by Barajas et al. (2013b), we determine key policy variables affecting the gap between actual levels of development and benchmarks predicted by structural variables. Our dynamic panel estimation shows that inflation, trade openness, institutional quality, and banking crises significantly affect financial development. We also assess the impact of the policy variables across the different dimensions of development thereby identifying complementarities and potential trade-offs for policy makers. The third chapter models the role of the lender of last resort (LoLR) in a general equilibrium framework. We allow for heterogeneous agents and a risk-averse banking sector, and incorporate the frictions of endogenous default, liquidity, and money. Adverse supply shocks in monetary endowments trigger default, leading to deterioration in the value of bank assets, and subsequent bank illiquidity in some states of the world. LoLR intervention is then assessed with regards to its economy-wide effect on welfare, bank profitability, and the level of default. The results provide a justification for constructive ambiguity. The fourth chapter aims to provide an explanation for the incidence of financial crises by combining insights from agency theory and Minsky's financial instability hypothesis (Minsky, 1992) in a model with endogenous default. Our theoretical model shows that the probability of a financial crisis increases as the quality of shareholder information decreases. We then develop a measure for the quality of shareholder information following Simon (1989) and show that the market-wide quality of shareholder information: i) is poor (with no trend) in the Pre-SEC period (1840 to 1934); ii) improves substantially following the SEC reforms; and iii) gradually declines starting in the 1960s/70s until it is now back to pre-SEC levels. This matches up with the standard list of US financial crises (as in Reinhart and Rogoff 2009; Reinhart 2010) and supports our hypothesis that the likelihood of a financial crisis increases with deterioration in the quality of shareholder information.

Abstract:
This paper analyzes the experience of economic growth in Peru during the last five decades. It describes its principal characteristics, explains the changes along the period and predicts its future path. The methodological approach consists in a combination of accounting and econometric techniques, both based in comparisons between countries and periods of time. The study discovers that the most important turning points of the economic growth were caused by changes in the productivity of all inputs, instead of the simple accumulation of capital. Specifically, the paper finds out that the recover of the economic growth in Peru during the 1990’s was caused by the process of structural reforms and stabilization and lasts until now. The future growth of the economy depends on the continuation and deepness of this process.
Este artículo analiza la experiencia de crecimiento económico del Perú en las últimas cinco décadas. Describe sus características básicas, explica sus cambios a lo largo del tiempo y proyecta su comportamiento futuro. El enfoque metodológico consiste en una combinación de técnicas contables y econométricas, ambas basadas en comparaciones entre países y entre períodos de tiempo. El estudio encuentra que los virajes más importantes del crecimiento económico se han debido a cambios en la productividad total de los factores, más que a la mera acumulación de capital. Específicamente, el artículo concluye que la recuperación del crecimiento económico en el Perú desde los años 1990 se ha debido sobre todo al proceso de reformas estructurales y de estabilización que se comenzaron desde entonces. El futuro del crecimiento en el país depende de si este proceso se continúa y profundiza.

Abstract:
Motivated by policy debates emerging from the U.S. Great Recession and Eurozone crisis, I study the stabilization role of monetary, fiscal, and macroprudential policies in response to short-run fluctuations. In the first essay on "Unemployment Insurance in Macroeconomic Stabilization", I characterize the role of unemployment insurance (UI) generosity as a particular instrument of fiscal policy, and use my framework to quantitatively evaluate the employment and welfare effects of UI extensions in the U.S. over 2008-13. In the second essay on "Labor Market Frictions in a Monetary Union", I study stabilization trade-offs and optimal monetary policy in a monetary union where labor markets are frictional and heterogeneous across member states, with implications for the sustainability of the Euro and policy of the ECB. In the third essay on "Firm vs. Bank Leverage over the Business Cycle", I develop a general equilibrium model explaining the contrasting cyclical behavior of non-financial corporate and bank leverage in U.S. data, and study its implications for macroprudential regulation in banking. Methodologically, these essays share a focus on building theoretical models of closed and open economies to address policy-relevant questions in macroeconomics, drawing on additional ideas from related fields such as public economics and finance.

Abstract:
This study seeks to investigate the trends and interactions of market volatility as a source of instability in the South African financial markets. Financial instability can be manifested in the form of banking and currency crisis, institutional failures and extreme asset price volatility. This study, however, focuses on a single aspect of financial instability - asset price volatility. Asset price volatility reflects changes in market expectations as investors react to such changes, and thus on its own is not necessarily a source of instability. However, volatility spillovers can propagate volatility shocks across the market, increasing the risk of widespread instability. Using a combination of graphical and trend analysis as well as more formal estimation techniques, the study examined volatility in the stock, money and foreign exchange markets. To obtain estimates of market volatility, the study experimented with various volatility models that include the GARCH, TARCH and EGARCH. An analysis of volatility interactions and the transmission of volatility shocks across the market is crucial to understanding financial instability. To examine volatility interaction and the transmission of volatility shocks, a VAR model was estimated. This framework allowed us to examine the propagation of shocks across the markets. Volatility in the financial markets was found to be highly persistent and in the case of exchange rates, volatility was also characterised by an increasing trend. Significant linkages between the financial markets were found. The links also extended to the volatility relationship as evidenced by significant volatility spillovers across the markets. While volatility spillovers from the money market were found in the stock market and the foreign exchange market, no volatility spillovers from these markets were found in the money market. Thus the money market was identified as the major source of volatility spillovers and shocks in the financial markets. These results highlighted the role of monetary policy in the financial system, specifically the need to make monetary policy stable and predictable to ensure that interest rate shocks are not an additional source of instability.

Abstract:
Malgré les importants programmes économiques et financiers entrepris à la fin des années 80 et l’adoption du Pacte de convergence en 1999, les taux de croissance des Etats de l’UEMOA restent en deçà du niveau minimal de 7% requis pour la réalisation des Objectifs du Millénaire pour le Développement (OMD). Cette faiblesse du rythme de croissance conduit aujourd’hui à s’interroger sur l’efficacité des politiques économiques et en particulier, sur le rôle que devraient jouer les autorités publiques à travers la politique budgétaire. Nous analysons, à partir des données empiriques, le caractère procyclique de la politique budgétaire dans la zone UEMOA, en testant les éventuels retournements liés à l’adoption du Pacte de convergence. Ensuite, dans un deuxième temps, nous estimons à travers un modèle VAR structurel, l’impact dynamique des chocs budgétaires sur les fluctuations de l’activité économique des pays de l’UEMOA et leurs canaux de transmission. En dernier lieu, nous exposons d’abord les limites de l’approche utilisée par le FMI pour le calcul des contributions de la politique budgétaire à la croissance économique ; puis, nous proposons un modèle d’évaluation des effets de long terme de cette politique sur la croissance, tout en montrant les risques liés aux coupes budgétaires sur les investissements publics. Les résultats de cette thèse suggèrent l’adoption de règles budgétaires qui tiennent compte de la situation conjoncturelle de chaque pays, la rapidité dans l’action gouvernementale pour remédier à l’inertie des finances publiques et le renforcement des investissements publics productifs afin de mieux soutenir la croissance économique
Despite significant economic and financial programs undertaken in the late 80s and the adoption of the convergence Pact in 1999, the growth rate of Economic and Monetary Union of West Africa (EMUWA) countries remain below the minimum level of 7% required for the achievement of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). This low growth rate now leads to questions about the effectiveness of economic policy and, in particular, on the role to be played by public authorities through fiscal policy. We analyze empirical data through, the procyclicality of fiscal policy in the EMUWA and we test the possible reversals related to the adoption of the convergence Pact. Then, in a second step, we estimate from a structural VAR model, the dynamic impact of fiscal shocks on fluctuations in the economic activity of the EMUWA countries and their transmission channels. Finally, we discuss the limitations of the approach used by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to calculate the contributions of fiscal policy to economic growth; then, we propose an evaluation of the long-term effects of this policy model on growth, while showing the risks of cuts on public investment.The results of this thesis suggest the adoption of fiscal rules that take into account the economic situation of each country, the speed in government action to overcome the inertia of public finances and strengthening of productive public investments to better support economic growth

Abstract:
The control of inflation requires a forecast of the future path of the price level and its indicators. Targeting inflation directly requires that the central bank (SARB) form forecasts of the likely path of prices paying close attention to a variety of indicators that shows the predictive power of inflation in the past periods. Inflation indicators might be cointegrated with the rate of inflation to predict the future inflation rates. Forecasting inflation may be very difficult at a particular period due to the fact that the array candidate indicators of inflation may neither be very stable nor very strong in their relationships with the rate of inflation. Although this might be the case, this research uses testable effects of each of the South African inflation indicators to the rate of inflation using econometrics tools to find that they have a long run trend with the rate of inflation in South Africa. It has been found that each of the indicator variables has a long run relationship with the rate of inflation. The major conclusion is that inflation indicator variables like money supply (M3), oil price, gold price, total employment, interest rates, exchange rates and output growth can be useful inflation indicators in targeting the future trends of inflation in South Africa according to the data used in this research although some studies in some countries find that inflation targeting is an insufficient framework for monetary policy in the presence of financial exuberance. The money supply, the oil prices, interest rates, the exchange rates, prices of gold, the employment and output growth are co-integrated with the rate of inflation representing a long-run relationship.

Abstract:
A década de 1980 ficou conhecida no Brasil como a década perdida. Certamente, os anos 1980 expressaram fortemente o que representou a chamada crise da dívida para os países periféricos, especialmente, os latino-americanos. Os governos da Ditadura militar condicionaram as políticas econômicas para o pagamento da dívida externa. A dívida foi internalizada e estatizada ao longo dos anos 1980, o que deixou o país à beira do colapso, com queda do produto interno, altas taxas de inflação e com o Estado paralisado por conta do endividamento externo e interno. O governo Sarney, apesar de ser o primeiro governo civil após a Ditadura, não foi eleito pelo voto do povo. A transição democrática, feita em comum acordo com os grupos que deixavam o poder, levou à mudança somente na aparência, mas a essência permanecia a mesma. Sarney era presidente do partido (PDS) sucessor da Arena e sustentáculo político civil da Ditadura. Deixou o partido em junho de 1984, portanto, menos de um ano antes de tomar posse como presidente da República, em uma coalização aparentemente de oposição. Assim, essa dissertação busca compreender de que forma as políticas econômicas do governo Sarney também representaram uma continuidade em relação aos governos anteriores, apesar dos sucessivos planos de estabilização, que grande parte da historiografia econômica considerou como não-ortodoxos.
1980s were recognized as the lost decade. Certainly this period expressed what represented the known debt crisis for underdeveloped countries especially the latin americans. The military government engaged the economical policies to payment of external debt. The debt became public at 1980s and this induced a fall on the internal product, a high inflation rates and had the effect on the State leading to a standstill period caused by the external and internal debts. Sarney was not elected by people vote even he was the first president after military government. The democratic transition period was achieved by pact with the left group power and this fact changed appearance only and not the essence. Sarney was the president of PDS, followed by the Arena witch sustained the military government; he has left this party in June 1984, one year before become president of Republic seeming opposition grouping. This study aim to understand the economical policies of Sarney government is continuing of previous governments although stabilization plans were attempt and that the economical historiography considers as not orthodox.

Full text
Abstract:
This dissertation is a collection of three essays on the monetary and fiscal stabilization policies. Grounded in the framework of the New Keynesian model, they combine both theoretical modeling and quantitative analysis, taking into account the considerations from behavioral macroeconomics and global supply chains. Chapter 1 considers both short-term effects and long-run consequences of alternative monetary and fiscal policies under an assumption of bounded rationality. Most of the existing analyses of the interaction between monetary and fiscal policy in the monetary literature often turn crucially on assumptions that are made about outcomes far in the future, sometimes infinitely far. This is a problematic feature of rational-expectations analyses, given the limited basis for assumptions about the distant future. By relaxing this problematic assumption regarding long-expectation, while keeping other parts as close as possible to the standard New Keynesian model, I take the approach of finite forward planning to study the interplay of fiscal transfer policies and monetary policy. In particular, this approach assumes that explicit forward planning extends only a finite distance into the future, with anticipated situations at that horizon evaluated using a value function learned from past experience. Such an approach makes announcements of future policies relevant, but avoids the debates about equilibrium selection that plague rational-expectations analyses. The combined monetary-fiscal regimes that result in stable long-run dynamics are characterized, and the effectiveness of temporary changes in either type of policy as a source of short-run demand stimulus is analyzed. The effectiveness of a coordinated change in monetary and fiscal policy is shown to be greatest when decision makers' degree of foresight is intermediate in range (average planning horizons on the order of ten years), rather than shorter or longer. Chapter 2, co-authored with Michael Woodford, reconsiders several issues connected with stabilization policy, when the zero lower bound (ZLB) is a relevant constraint on the effectiveness of conventional monetary policy, under an assumption of bounded rationality. In particular, it assumes that decision makers only plan a finite distance into the future each time they must act, and use a value function from their past experiences to estimate a continuation value for their situation at the end of the planning horizon. Forward guidance regarding future monetary policy remains relevant, even if its predicted impact is quantitatively weaker, and in particular price-level targeting continues to have advantages over purely forward-looking inflation targeting during a ZLB scenario. Moreover, recognizing that planning horizons may be relatively short for some strengthens the case for systematic price-level targeting, as opposed to temporary price-level targeting only following a ZLB scenario. Fiscal transfers can be a powerful tool to reduce the contractionary impact of an increased financial wedge during a crisis, and even make possible complete stabilization of both aggregate output and inflation under certain circumstances, but the power of such policies depends on the degree of monetary policy accommodation. We also show that a higher level of welfare is generally possible if both monetary and fiscal authorities commit themselves to history-dependent policies in the period after the financial disturbance has dissipated. Chapter 3, co-authored with Shang-Jin Wei, studies the implications of global supply chains for the design of monetary policy, using a small-open economy New Keynesian model with multiple stages of production. Within the family of simple monetary policy rules with commitment, a rule that targets separate producer price inflation at different production stages, in addition to the output gap and real exchange rate, is found to deliver a higher welfare level than alternative policy rules. As an economy becomes more open, measured by the export share, the optimal weight on the upstream inflation rises relative to that on the final stage inflation. If we have to choose among aggregate price indicators, targeting PPI inflation yields a smaller welfare loss than targeting CPI inflation alone. As the production chain becomes longer, the optimal weight on PPI inflation in the policy rule that targets both PPI and CPI inflation will also rise. A trade cost shock such as a rise in the import tariff can alter the optimal weights on different inflation variables.
