Consumo no Brasil, uma análise empírica da hipótese da renda permanente

Resumo

The present work consists of an analysis of household consumption using the permanent income and life cycle hypothesis, based on consumption, credit, income and interest rate indicators in Brazil from 2003 to 2017, in an economic environment that presented a cycle of expansion, followed by two economic crisis, with the second crisis (after 2015) aggravating to the country's economic environment. In this work the employed methodology was the one proposed by Campbell and Mankiw (1989) together with the Vector Auto Regressive (VAR), on the historical series of income, credit, interest rate and volume of credit to individuals. Based on the Markov SwitchingVAR methodology, we sought to analyze structural breaks in consumer behavior during the analyzed period. The result showed two structural breaks, one between the second quarter of 2003 and the fourth quarter of 2007, and another between the first quarter of 2008 and the second quarter of 2015. In all periods, the Campbell and Mankiw model showed similar behavior, in which we reject the hypothesis of permanent income. Between the third quarter of 2015 and the third quarter of 2017, a period of great impact of the Brazilian economic crisis, the hypothesis of permanent income was rejected, with a significant increase in the restriction on liquidity and credit. According to the VAR model, which tries to identify the dynamic behavior of the variables under study, we have observed that shocks individually generated on income and credit have a positive impact on consumption, ie, it generates an increase in household consumption. On the other hand, a shock on the interest rate causes an inversely proportional effect on consumption, which is in line with the rejection of the hypothesis of permanent income.
