Zusammenfassung:With the exception of 2020, when Brazilian GDP fell because of COVID-19, the policy of ‘expansionary fiscal austerity’ has been implemented in Brazil since 2015, but with poor results in terms of economic growth.

This article analyses the feasibility of a Keynesian fiscal policy to resume Brazilian economic growth and the role of conventions for the success of fiscal policy.
