Resumo: The purpose of this paper is to discuss the role of communication and transparency in the conduct of monetary policy by the Brazilian Central Bank. Initially we build a glossary that translates the qualitative information contained in the minutes of COPOM into an ordered scale index, similar to the one built by Rosa and Verga (2005). We find evidence of a consistent behavior by COPOM, in the sense that its words are followed by actions in the same direction. Based on estimates of Taylor rules, we also find evidence that the index help to understand interest setting , justifying the central bank watching behavior.

Constrói-se, inicialmente, um índice que traduz a informação qualitativa contida nas atas do COPOM num índice ordenado, semelhante ao construído por Rosa e Verga (2005). Encontra-se evidência que a comunicação do COPOM é consistente no sentido de que as palavras são seguidas por ações na mesma direção. Baseado em estimativas de regras de Taylor, encontra-se também evidência de que o índice ajuda a entender a fixação da taxa de juros, justificando a prática de central bank watching.EGV EPGE2009-12-09info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArticlesArtigosapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/rbe/article/view/1314Revista Brasileira de Economia; Vol. 63 No. 4 (2009); 271-288Revista Brasileira de Economia; v. 63 n. 4 (2009); 271-2881806-91340034-7140reponame:Revista Brasileira de Economia (Online)instname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVengporhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/rbe/article/view/1314/924https://periodicos.fgv.br/rbe/article/view/1314/925da Costa Filho, Adonias EvaristoRocha, Fabianainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2010-01-11T18:12:45Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/1314Revistahttps://periodicos.fgv.br/rbe/https://periodicos.fgv.br/rbe/oai||rbe@fgv.br1806-91340034-7140opendoar:2024-03-06T13:03:02.796618Revista Brasileira de Economia (Online) - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)true
