Esther Dweck

Professor at the UFRJ Institute of Economics

Description

Esther Dweck served in the Ministry of Planning, Budget and Management, as Head of Economic Advisory and as Secretary of Federal Budget between 2011 and 2016. After reading Valsa Brasileira, we will discuss with her what the thinking was in the administrations and reflect on the actual policy-process related to fiscal policy within the ministry.

We will talk about which policies have worked and should be expanded further, and which have failed and should be scaled back. Then, we will discuss the reactions within the political economy framework and what are possible reasonings for the economic policies that were implemented in Brazil since 2016 and some of their consequences. Finally, we will discuss on what basis policy can and should be formulated in the future.
