Abstract: Since the mid-1990s, Brazil has struggled, with limited success, to reform its intergovernmental financing arrangements. Every four years, the electoral cycle brings promises of much needed reforms. Recently, Brazil had an unusual window of opportunity to promote such reforms, brought about not by another electoral cycle, but by Supreme Court rulings and changes to its oil exploration regime. This note takes stock of the proposed and realized reforms and simulates their impact for state governments in Brazil.
