Resumo: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
There is a close relationship between macroeconomic
variables and the term
structure of interest rates in Brazil. We characterize
this relationship using
the recent macro-finance approach adapted to the case of
an emerging
market economy.We find that (i) the yield curve have
additional information
about future economic growth; (ii) the forecasting power
is increasing with
the durability of goods and is essentially due to expected
variations on
short-term interest rates; (iii) cyclical variables
(output gap, inflation rate
and nominal exchange rate change) explain up to 53% of the
variation
in bond yields; (iv) the additional variation, represented
by unobservable
factors, seems to be related to the variation of
international risk aversion
and inflation expectations and (v) the notion of great
external vulnerability
of the brazilian economy during the period is confirmed by
the strong role of
the nominal exchange rate change, which explains up to 41%
of the variation
in bond yields.
