In this paper, we analyze the tax exemption on consumption of durable goods aiming to contribute in two directions: a) estimate and calibrate a small scale DSGE model that incorporates this aspect; and b) evaluate the impact of this specific policy on the main macroeconomic variables through the lens of the model. The results suggest the impact of reducing the IPI rate on durable goods was not the most appropriate policy to stimulate economic activity, since it contracted instead of expanding the total product. Better would have being a reduction of the indirect tax rate for the whole economy.Downloads
