Análise da interdependência e das inter-relações dos indicadores macroeconômicos dos países integrantes dos BRICS

Abstract

This work aimed to investigate the convergence of BRICS macroeconomic variables, analyzing the behavior of the selected variables. As methodology, the econometric methods were used on economic growth, unemployment rates, inflation rates, exchange rates and interest rates. To estimate the model data, Eviews 8 software was used, analyzing descriptive and correlation statistics, unit root tests and causality tests. Finally, although the BRICS together make up an economy that represents 40% of the world's population, which corresponds to 25% of the world economy, the results do not show much similarity among the five countries, so that the studied variables did not present an influence On the other. Therefore, the tests indicate a low confluence of the variables.
