RESUMO
This study proposes an estimate of the natural interest rate in Brazil using unobserved components. The methodology used here is the same as Laubach and Williams (2001), which proposes the natural interest rate as a function of the output gap. That said, besides the natural interest rate, both the potential output of the Brazilian economy and its growth rate will be estimated. The estimation process uses a Kalman filter in three steps and starts with a macroeconomic model that uses an IS and a Phillips curve
