A economia monetária e regional da alta inflação: um estudo sobre o acesso à moeda indexada no Sul, Sudeste e Nordeste <br> Monetary and regional economics in a high inflationary regime: a study of access to indexed assets in the Southern, Southeastern, and Northeastern Regions
Abstract
The purpose of this article is to show that access to indexed assets during the high inflation regime (1990-1993) was not evenly distributed among different states in Brazil. An index was elaborated to measure the access to indexed assets and the author concluded that some states had a lower capacity to defend themselves against the inflationary process as compared to other states.
