A Brazilian Debt-Crisis Model

Assaf Razin and Efraim Sadka

No 9211, NBER Working Papers from National Bureau of Economic Research, Inc

Abstract: We develop a model that captures important features of debt crises of the Brazilian type. Its applicability to Brazil lies in the fact that (1) in Brazil the macro fundamentals were sound (e.g., a primary surplus, a relatively low debt/GDP ratio, etc.); and (2) in the Brazilian case the trigger appears to be the forthcoming elections, with an expected regime change.
