Sumario:This paper estimates a Taylor Rule for the period 2003-2010, when Henrique Meirelles was the chairman of Brazilian Central Bank. In contrast with previous research, data frequency is based on Monetary Policy Committee meetings (COPOM), better reflecting the information set available for the monetary authority. The results indicate a strict inflation target behavior, with strong response to inflation expectations, and a minor but relevant role for the output gap for monetary policy decisions.
