Summary

We investigate the impact of high frequency monetary policy shocks in Brazil using daily data and Rigobon’ s identification via heteroskedasticity. We show that positive changes in interest rates cause inflation expectations to decline and the exchange rate to appreciate. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first paper to study how monetary policy affects inflation expectations in an emerging economy using high frequency identification techniques.
