Sommario/riassunto

This paper explores the nexus between the financial cycle and business cycle in Brazil. Cycles  are estimated using a variety of commonly-used statistical methods and with a small, semistructural  model of the Brazilian economy. An advantage of using the model-based approach is  that financial and business cycles can be jointly estimated, allowing information from all key  economic relationships to be used in a consistent way. The results show that Brazil is now in the  downturn phase of the financial cycle. Moreover, the results underscore the importance of  macro-financial linkages and highlight risks to the recovery going forward.
