Book Description
"This book is the result of long research, which started in early 1983 and aimed at examining Brazil's economic adjustment following the two oil shocks of 1973 and 1979. Most of the information and data used in this book was gathered in the period between 1983 and 1987. Therefore, the detailed analysis that this book contains on the economic policies and structural changes implemented in Brazil refers basically to the period between the first oil shock in 1973 and the collapse of the Cruzado Plan early in 1987."

Book Description
This paper examines the determinants and macroeconomic consequences of international financial flows on the Brazilian economy in the last twenty years. The main part of the paper analyzes the debt-accumulation process. The methodology consists of decomposing the change in the debt-GDP ratio and examining the behavior of the main components through time as a function of external shocks and policy actions. The second part of the paper discusses some more recent imbalances in the Brazilian economy that are in part the result of the still incomplete adjustment process in the wake of the debt crisis.

Book Description
Abstract: "Despite significant progress in economic reform throughout the 1990s and an exemplary development of the policymaking framework in the second part of the decade, Brazil suffered a major public debt and currency crisis in 2002. Though the political origin of the uncertainty cannot be ignored, Herrera identifies other sources of uncertainty emanating from the policymaking framework: fiscal policy was not responsive to the shocks, public debt instruments were used with several objectives (to stabilize the currency and to lengthen maturity) and there was inadequate supervision of agents holding public debt. Most of the flaws have been fixed following the crisis: * The primary fiscal balance has been increased, sending the signal that it is a flexible instrument that will be used to ensure commitment of the sovereign to honor its obligations. * The central bank formally transferred to the Treasury the remaining debt-issuance functions, facilitating a more adequate balancing of different risks involved in debt management. * Mutual funds' public debt holdings are better regulated, ensuring that end-investors have the proper information to assess the risk of the institutions in which they invest. This paper--a product of the Economic Policy Division, Poverty Reduction and Economic Management Network--is part of a larger effort in the network to disseminate country experiences in the design of policymaking frameworks that facilitate adjustment of the economy to external shocks"--World Bank web site.
Book Description
The authors describe the main trends of Brazil's fiscal policy during the past decade and analyze (1) the ability to raise the primary surplus in response to external shocks, (2) the pro-cyclical nature of fiscal policy, and (3) the long-run impact of government expenditure composition and taxation. They analyze the use of the primary balance as a policy tool within the Drudi-Prati model, wherein the government uses the primary balance to reveal its commitment to service its debt. The authors verify that both the debt ratio and the primary balance are determinants of spreads and credit ratings in Brazil. But the relationship is nonlinear: the impact of the primary balance on spreads is amplified as the debt ratio increases. Using an Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach, the authors analyze the relationship between the primary balance and economic activity, finding a positive correlation in the long run. However, in the short run fiscal expansions are associated with primary balance reductions and vice-versa during output contractions, confirming the procyclical nature of fiscal policy in the short run. The authors use two approaches, ARDL and a cointegrating value at risk (VAR), to analyze the interaction between public expenditure composition and taxation on growth. Similar results are obtained: large elasticities of output with respect to capital stocks, a significant negative impact of taxation on long-run GDP, and a negative impact of increasing government consumption and transfer payments on GDP. These results shed light on the contribution of fiscal policy to disappointing growth performance in Brazil during the past decade.

Book Description
In The Politics of Public Debt Daniel Bin analyzes how fiscal and monetary policies and the administration of public debt related to class, labor, and democracy during the period of neoliberal financialization in Brazil. Sustained by state action, the politico-economic context allowed the establishment of a macroeconomic framework that favored finance capital. It was characterized by the expropriation of workers’ incomes through a system involving public debt and taxation, capable of deepening labor exploitation. Decisions about public debt and related policies are analyzed in terms of their implications for economic democracy. The book raises the hypothesis that the 2016 coup within the Brazilian capitalist state sought to overthrow the political forces that were no longer able to administer this model.

Book Description
Examines events in the economic history of Brazil over a 25-year period spanning its strong growth phase in the late 1960s and early 1970s, the high inflation which followed, and the external debt crisis of the 1980s. This study examines Brazil's economic history from 1964, when a military regime was instituted, to 1992, when Brazil's first popularly elected president in 25 years was forced from office on charges of corruption. The period witnessed unprecedented growth followed by high levels of inflation and soaring external debt. Reviewing the economic challenges of the 1970s, the author blames poor policymaking in response to two oil price shocks for the onset of high inflation. In addition, a series of failed stabilization efforts after the external debt crisis in 1982 slowed economic growth as investment plummeted. The author concludes with a discussion of the valuable lessons learned from the period. The most important lesson may be that an open economy can postpone essential but unpleasant adjustments to correct serious economic problems, but at a larger cost to society in the long-term. This postponement in Brazil has lead to decreased latitude for policymakers in the 1990s.
