Abstract

This project has the propose of create a prevision to the Index of Price to Consumer Ample - IPCA using the ARIMA's methods and analysing the information about this index since 1999 until 2012. The results will provide a appliance to analysing the inflation in Brazil during the Inflation Target System, because they evidence the tendency of this index, which is considered as na indicator of the inflation in Brazil. Also will be done a prevision to the IPCA's center, and the tendencies to the inflation shown by these two diferents indexes will be compared with themselves and the inflationary expectations. Lastly, the project has the purpose of molding the volatility (or conditional variance) of inflation utilizing the models of ARCH/GARCH on time series created by IPCA's center and IPCA.
