%0 Journal Article %T Stock Market Performance, the Exchange Rate, and the Brazilian Economy %A Michael C. Budden %A Robert F. Cope III %A Yu Hsing %A Susan M. L. Zee %J Research in Applied Economics %D 2010 %I %R 10.5296/rae.v2i2.510 %X Incorporating the goods market equilibrium, an interest-rate rule, and aggregate supply and applying a generalized least squares (GLS) method, this analysis finds a higher real stock price, real appreciation of the Brazilian ¡°real,¡± increased government deficit as a percent of GDP, increased U.S. output, or a lower real federal funds rate would raise Brazil¡¯s real GDP. Thus, maintaining a robust stock market or pursuing real appreciation would help stimulate the Brazilian economy. Brazil¡¯s real output will benefit from an economic recovery in the U.S. and monetary easing by the Federal Reserve Bank. %U http://www.macrothink.org/journal/index.php/rae/article/view/510
