Structure And Structural Change In The Brazillian Economy

This volume seeks to explore some contemporary issues surrounding economic structure in Brazil from an explicitly analytical perspective. All of the contributions use some form of modelling to aid in the provision of insights; the models range in scope from econometric exercises to econometric models, two forms of computable general equilibrium modelling and some innovations in nonlinear relative dynamics. However, the focus is not on the models per se but on the contributions they make to uncovering features of Brazil's economic structure. The book is organized into four sections reflecting the major source focus of the chapters.
