Resumo

This paper argues that between 1968 an 1979, due to indexation of exchange rates and wages, and because of monetary accommodation, the Brazilian inflation rate followed a random walk, while the real growth rate remained constant, except for uncorrelated shocks. Develops a model that permits to study the behavior of inflation and growth rates in an economy where wages are indexed to past inflation rates, purchasing power parity is guaranteed by a crawling peg, and where monetary authorities follow an accommodation rule. Concludes with the empirical evidence.
