Capital account liberalization and inflation: evidence from Brazil

Pages 483-487 | Published online: 18 Jun 2007
 

Abstract

The argument that capital account liberalization attenuates the time inconsistence problem in the conduction of monetary policy and thus, could improve the control of inflation, was tested for Brazil, in the short run, for different exchange rate regimes. The findings denote that a decrease in the capital account liberalization is capable of attenuating inflationary pressure and that the duration of this effect depends on the exchange regime used.
