This paper characterizes the statistical nature of the inflation series in China over the past quarter of a century and presents an interesting scenario of large decline in inflation passthrough accompanied with low inflation since the end of the 1990s. How should monetary policy in China be conducted under these new economic conditions? We propose a discrete inflation-targeting framework for monetary policy, which is likely to be suitable for the regime of low inflation and inflation pass-through. The advantages and caveats of adopting such a framework are also discussed.展开更多

A Brazilian conjuncture analysis starts with the economic stabilization plan known as Piano Real (July, 1994) and takes account that, from 2007 onwards, the world economy is going through troubled times unchained by the international financial crisis that motivated the recent Basel Agreement (Basel III). There are two lines of analysis: macroeconomic and marketing. From the macroeconomic approach, there are plenty models to predict money supply and monetary aggregates. From a marketing perspective, it can be inferred that technologies potentially innovatives may alter the current scenario. The financial time series chosen are: daily money supply, banking reserves, and annual inflation (monthly announced). The first statistical and empirical evidences from the period (July, 1994 to December, 2011) show that the management of banking reserves does not interfere with the continuous growth of the monetary base plus demand deposits (M1) and cash in circulation, which possibly indicates an increasing financial inclusion. Moreover, there is no evidence that it creates inflationary pressures. The future works may require competencies pertinent to prospective finance and consumer behavior (marketing).展开更多
