Abstract

This work investigates the regional inflationary dynamics, using the variance ratio, mean equality test and variance equality test, and the effects weight and price. The results show heterogeneous behavior between regions, where significant inertial components were found. These results support the issue of persistence in inflation observed, and this as the time gap for the convergence of prices are subject to individual fluctuations, preferences, restrictions on the movement of productive resources and market competition.
