اختلاف در انتظارات در مورد بدهی عمومی، اعتبار سیاست پولی و حق بیمه تورم

This paper analyzes the determinants of the inflation risk premium in Brazil during the Inflation Targeting period. In particular, different from the existing studies, we analyze the influence of both public debt expectations and disagreement in expectations about public debt on the inflation risk premium, and also the effect of monetary policy credibility on the inflation risk premium. The findings bring two important policy implications. One related to the effect of the expectations formed for the commitment of the government with debt management; and the other related to the effect of the expectations formed for the central bank’s commitment with the Inflation Targeting regime. The results suggest the disagreement in expectations about the public debt affects the inflation risk premium. Furthermore, the findings also suggest the degree of anchorage of inflation expectations in relation to the inflation target (i.e., the monetary policy credibility) affects the inflation risk premium.
