Abstract

Este artigo avaliou a existência de assimetrias nas respostas da política econômica no Brasil entre 2001 e 2010, verificando o comportamento das políticas fiscal (componentes de regra e discrição) e monetária ao longo do ciclo econômico. Para tanto, realizou uma análise descritiva preliminar e utilizou modelos autorregressivos com mudanças markovianas (MS-VAR). A análise preliminar revelou indícios de assimetria, com as políticas comportando-se de forma distinta nos diferentes cenários. Os modelos MS-VAR confirmaram esse resultado, mostrando que a regra é mais veloz e menos assimétrica que as demais políticas. Já a política monetária responde mais fortemente às variações positivas do hiato.
