Resumo: The new Keynesian Phillips curve has been criticized for not explaining the short-run inflation-output gap trade-off. Blanchard and Galí (2007) introduced real wage rigidity and derived a trade-off between stabilizing inflation and the gap between actual and efficient output. This paper estimates the new Phillips curve for the Brazilian economy, computes short-run trade-off, analyzes real wage rigidity, and tests theoretical restrictions imposed by the model. The GMM estimations fit the data very well and all theoretical restrictions are satisfied. There is strong real wage rigidity and a high output-gap cost to stabilize inflation in the short run.

Blanchard-Gali (2007) introduziram a rigidez do salário real e derivaram um trade-off entre estabilizar inflação ou hiato do produto real e eficiente. Neste artigo estima-se essa nova curva para a economia brasileira, calcula-se o trade-off, analisa-se a rigidez do salário real e testa-se as restrições teóricas do modelo. Estimações GMM adequam-se bem aos dados e todas as restrições teóricas são satisfeitas. Há forte rigidez do salário real e alto custo do hiato do produto para estabilizar inflação no curto prazo.EGV EPGE2010-09-02info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArticlesArtigosapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/rbe/article/view/1438Revista Brasileira de Economia; Vol. 64 No. 3 (2010); 291-306Revista Brasileira de Economia; v. 64 n. 3 (2010); 291-3061806-91340034-7140reponame:Revista Brasileira de Economia (Online)instname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporenghttps://periodicos.fgv.br/rbe/article/view/1438/1817https://periodicos.fgv.br/rbe/article/view/1438/1818Mazali, Antonio AlbertoDivino, Jose Angeloinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2010-09-02T18:02:02Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/1438Revistahttps://periodicos.fgv.br/rbe/https://periodicos.fgv.br/rbe/oai||rbe@fgv.br1806-91340034-7140opendoar:2024-03-06T13:03:03.496756Revista Brasileira de Economia (Online) - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)true
