The impact of the Brazilian crisis in the Tenth District

Ricardo C. Gazel and Chad Wilkerson

Regional Economic Digest, 1999, issue Q I, 11-15

Abstract: The recent economic turmoil in Brazil, triggered by the devaluation in January of the \"real\" (Brazil's currency), has understandably created concern about how the United States will be affected. This article looks at the possible impacts in the Tenth District and finds that, at least for now, there is little need for concern. The article is divided into three sections: an explanation of the crisis and its overall potential for harm, a brief discussion of the direct impact on district producers, and a more thorough analysis of the indirect ways a spread of the crisis could affect manufacturing and agriculture in the region.
