The distributive effects of inflation stabilization policies in Brazil: A CGE modeling approach

The purpose of this dissertation is to construct an economywide simulation model of Brazil which serves as a tool to quantify the effects of alternative inflation stabilization policies on the distribution of income. The model includes five household classes, five production sectors, four types of labor, the public sector, and the rest of the world. Microeconomic optimizing behavior is captured by means of a multisector computable general equilibrium (CGE) submodel. Macroeconomic relationships are modeled through the money market, the loanable funds market, and the current account of the balance of payments.
