Os bancos comerciais sob o efeito da inflação: reflexo nas suas demonstrações contábeis: um estudo de caso

Este trabalho teve por objetivo mensurar os efeitos da variação do poder aquisitivo da moeda nas demonstrações contábeis das instituições bancárias. Através do estudo de caso, a pesquisa foi desenvolvida em um banco comercial público estadual, subdividida em duas fases distintas. Na primeira fase, os objetivos específicos da pesquisa foram analisar as distorções resultantes do cumprimento da disposição legal que veda a correção monetária dos resultados intermediários. Adotou-se o método em vigor incluindo a correção monetária do resultado intermediário, ajustando-o pela variação nominal da ORTN, no segundo semestre de cada ano. Na segunda fase, com a aplicação do método da Correção Integral, através de ajustamento mensal dos elementos patrimoniais, pela variação nominal do Índice Geral de Preços, obteve-se a análise dos resultados comparativamente, com os apresentados pelo Banco em suas demonstrações publicadas. Esta pesquisa se diferencia das demais existentes pela ênfase atribuída à correção monetária dos resultados intermediários, com reflexo na distribuição de dividendos, participações estatutárias, equivalência patrimonial e desempenho semestral de atividade. Outro ponto divergente é no aspecto da evidenciação apresentada pela Demonstração do Resultado Enfoque Gerencial , apurada pelo método da Correção Integral.

Bank networks and firm credit: an agent based model approach

Starting from the idea that economic systems fall into complexity theory, where its many agents interact with each other without a central control and that these interactions are able to change the future behavior of the agents and the entire system, similar to a chaotic system we increase the model of Russo et al. (2014) to carry out three experiments focusing on the interaction between Banks and Firms in an artificial economy. The first experiment is relative to Relationship Banking where, according to the literature, the interaction over time between Banks and Firms are able to produce mutual benefits, mainly due to reduction of the information asymmetry between them. The following experiment is related to information heterogeneity in the credit market, where the larger the bank, the higher their visibility in the credit market, increasing the number of consult for new loans. Finally, the third experiment is about the effects on the credit market of the heterogeneity of prices that Firms faces in the goods market.

An intra-household approach to the welfare costs of inflation

The literature on the welfare costs of in‡ation universally assumes that the many-person household can be treated as a single economic agent. This paper explores what the heterogeneity of the agents in a household might imply for such welfare analyses. First, we show that allowing for a single-unity or for a multi-unity transacting technology impacts the money demand function and, therefore, the welfare costs of in‡ation. Second, we derive su¢cient conditions that make the welfare assessments which depart directly from the knowledge of the money demand function (as in Lucas (2000)) robust under this alternative setting. Third, we compare our general-equilibrium measure with Bailey’s (1956) partial-equilibrium one.

An intra-household approach to the welfare costs of inflation (Revised Version, Forthcoming 2006, Estudos Econômicos)

The literature on the welfare costs of ináation universally assumes that the many-person household can be treated as a single economic agent. This paper explores what the heterogeneity of the agents in a household might imply for such welfare analyses. First, we show that allowing for a one-person or for a many-person transacting technology impacts the money demand function and, therefore, the welfare costs of ináation. Second, more importantly, we derive su¢ cient conditions under which welfare assessments which depart directly from the knowledge of the money demand function (as in Lucas (2000)) are robust (invariant) under the number of persons considered in the household. Third, we show that Baileyís (1956) partial-equilibrium measure of the welfare costs of ináation can be obtained as a Örst-order approximation of the general-equilibrium welfare measure derived in this paper using a many-person transacting technology.
