This paper deals with the role of the public debt on the transmission mechanism of monetary policy in order to evaluate the wealth effect as a source of monetary policy ineffectiveness. An IS function where the Ricardian Equivalence does not prevail and Phillips curve are estimated by FIML, GMM and Bootstrap methods. The government constraint allows the analysis of two kinds of bonds: prefixed bonds and bonds indexed by monetary policy interest rate. Two additional relations are added to the model, one monetary rule and one fiscal rule. The impulse response functions present cycles that depend heavily on the composition of the public debt.
