Abstract

The purpose of this work is to identify whether the fiscal and monetary policy adopted in the Plano Real observes the non-Ricardian pattern, which by defining an active fiscal policy that works together with a passive monetary policy ensures compliance with the intertemporal budget constraint government, through seigniorage or the immediate adjustment of the general price level. The aproach empirical basis for the determination of the non-Ricardian regime will occur in the context of Fiscal Theory Determination of Pricing (TFP), which defines the identifying restrictions of Ricardian regimes
and non-Ricardian. The empirical implementation of the Vector Autoregression (VAR) weakly confirms
a “Ricardian” policy regime, since the government's primary surplus (which includes the seigniorage) does not co-integrate with federal government obligations (debt plus monetary base).
This fact could also suggest regime indeterminacy.
