This thesis consists of three chapters. The first chapter applies the structural break of Bai and Perron (1998, 2003) test to analyze changes in the conduction of monetary policy during the period 2002-2013. Estimate a Taylor rule forward-looking, based on the methodology proposed by Clarida et. al. (1999) and Conrad and Eife (2012) and a target headline inflation based on the data and the estimated parameters of the Taylor rule. The results indicated the existence of three structural breaks in the estimated parameters of the Taylor rule, the first in 2005, second in 2008 and the last in 2011, indicating a change in the conduct of monetary policy. We observed that monetary policy was used as a tool to stabilize the product, but the Brazilian Central Bank has been giving less importance to the output gap in recent years. The second chapter applies a decomposition multivariate trend and cycle sectors of the Brazilian economy, focusing the analysis on the relations between the sectors and the dating of individual business cycles. We use a database of quarterly data for Gross Domestic Product - GDP of each sector, between years 1995-2013 The results confirm the existence of short and long term equilibrium among sectors and a high correlation between trends sector. In the third chapter we test whether a basic neoclassical model could explain Brazilian macroeconomic fluctuations in consumption, investment and product per capita between 1991-2013. We use a theoretical framework based on the stochastic neoclassical growth model proposed by King et. al. (1988a, 1988b) and King et. al. (1991). Empirical evidence is consistent with the theoretical assumptions of the model. The variables present behavior of random walk and there is a long-term equilibrium between them, pointing a stationary relationship between consumption - output and investment - product. The hypothesis of balanced growth between variables was checked and represent a positive, significant and of the same magnitude impact on the variables.
