30 anos de indexação

by Mario Henrique Simonsen

"Traces Brazilian experience with indexation, from its inception in 1964 until its end in 1994 with the implementation of the Plano Real. Examines use of indexation on taxes, salaries, exchange rates, and in monetary correction. Discusses previous attempts at de-indexation, the role of indexation in inertial inflation, and the use of a foreign exchange rate anchor in place of indexation"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
