Macroeconomic Policy, Growth and Income Distribution in the Brazilian Economy in the 2000s

The Brazilian economy grew by 4.2 percent annually from 2004-2010, more than double its annual growth from 1999-2003 or indeed its growth rate over the prior quarter century.

This paper looks at the combination of external changes and changes in macroeconomic policy that contributed to these results.
