Abstract

The goal of this paper is to test the Husted model and to inspect the long-run sustainability of Brazilian current account in a very specific period of time (1996-2005) by the use of monthly data. We have tested the inter-temporal budget constraints (IBC) condition via unit root test with structural break and co-integration through Gregory-Hansen test in a 117 long nominal, GDP normalized and CPI normalized series for the Brazilian economy. The results indicated that the pure IBC condition does not hold for the Brazilian economy. However, there is co-integration among the series used in this work and the balance of accounts is sustainable. O objetivo deste trabalho é testar o modelo de Husted e inspecionar a sustentabilidade de longo prazo das contas correntes brasileiras em um período muito específico de tempo (1996-2005) por meio do uso de dados mensais. Foi realizado teste da condição de restrição orçamentária inter-temporal (IBC) via teste de raiz unitária com quebra estrutural e co-integração pelo método de Gregory-Hansen em séries (117 pontos) nominais, normalizadas pelo PIB e normalizadas pelo índice de preços ao consumidor norte-americano (CPI). Os resultados indicam que a condição IBC pura não se sustenta para a economia brasileira, mas há co-integração entre as séries utilizadas, indicando que o equilíbrio de contas é sustentável.
