As políticas macroeconômicas brasileiras pós 1999: uma investigação à luz de Keynes

Abstract

This dissertation intends to support the analysis of Macroeconomic Policies in Brazil after 1999, here treated as restricted to the tripod: Inflation Targeting, generation of primary surpluses, and control of interest rates, in contrast to the Keynes s policies. First, it reviews the literature on the main propositions of Keynes. The next step is the preparation of analysis of what are, in fact, Keynes\'s policies. The following is made a study of Brazilian macroeconomic policies from the time when the country joined the Inflation Targeting Regime, i.e., from 1999, and the development of this measure for the remainder of macroeconomic policies to the present day, to finally be able to check whether such policies are consistent with the Keynes s policies.
