Notes on agriculture in the short term
Abstract
Albeit representing only 10% of the GDP, the agricultural sector plays a significant
role in the result and stabilization of the Brazilian economy. This paper aims to understand
the dynamics of the sector in the shorter run, differently from other studies that primarily
focus on the longer run, with attention to the formation of prices in agriculture, and
how inflation, recession, and stabilization policies affect the sector.
