The data sample ranges from 2002 until 2018. I make use of a vector error correction model and find that every explanatory variable is statistically significant in explaining inflation over the short and long-run. Except for the real interest rate, the individual relationships are in accordance with the findings of relevant literature. I also compare the model’s out-of-sample performance with the top short-run Brazilian CPI forecaster, as selected by the Brazilian Central Bank.engInflationBrazilVECMForecastmaster thesis202225321
