Resumo: In this paper the idea of rule of thumb consumption,q in which some households do not behave according to the Permanent Income Hypothesis, is applied to a small open economy framework. A model of current account with rule of thumb individuals and habit formation is presented and estimated for five different countries. Two parameters of the model are of particular interest: the share of domestic income that accrues to rule of thumb individuals and the coefficient of habit formation. Using current account data, the results obtained here support the view that rule of thumb behavior plays a major role in the economy. Moreover, the estimated habit formation coefficients are mostly small and nonsignificant.

Apresentamos um modelo de conta corrente com indivíduos se comportando pela regra de bolso e com formação de hábitos. O modelo é estimado separadamente com dados de cinco países. Estamos particularmente interessados em dois parâmetros do modelo: a razão da renda agregada doméstica aferida por indivíduos regra de bolso, e o coeficiente de formação de hábitos. Utilizando dados de conta corrente, os resultados obtidos sugerem que o comportamento regra de bolso tem um papel importante na economia. Ademais, os coeficientes de formação de hábitos estimados são em geral pequenos e não-significantes.EGV EPGE2011-06-09info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArticlesArtigosapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/rbe/article/view/2574Revista Brasileira de Economia; Vol. 65 No. 2 (2011); 149-175Revista Brasileira de Economia; v. 65 n. 2 (2011); 149-1751806-91340034-7140reponame:Revista Brasileira de Economia (Online)instname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporenghttps://periodicos.fgv.br/rbe/article/view/2574/2196https://periodicos.fgv.br/rbe/article/view/2574/2203Pereira, Rodrigo Mendesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2011-06-09T15:38:22Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/2574Revistahttps://periodicos.fgv.br/rbe/https://periodicos.fgv.br/rbe/oai||rbe@fgv.br1806-91340034-7140opendoar:2024-03-06T13:03:26.512688Revista Brasileira de Economia (Online) - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)true
