Demand and supply in economic plans

ABSTRACT

This note studies the supply conditions and the demand behavior in the first months of the Cruzado, Collor and Real plans. The main conclusion is that, independently upon the real interests, consumption presents a similar qualitatively pattern. Hence, as it seems unavoidable an increase in consumption in the first months, economic policy makers should previously create supply conditions before the implementation of plans. In this point of view, the Real Plan was the one which presented the best supply conditions relatively to Cruzado and Collor plans.

KEYWORDS:
Stabilization; inflation; consumption
