Brazil is currently undergoing a very strong economic slowdown, and, according to the Economic Cycles Dating Committee (CODACE), Brazil has been in recession since the second quarter of 2014. Given this situation, one of the debates in the Brazilian economy currently is about the reasons for this recent slowdown in Brazilian growth. There is a part that credits this deceleration to external factors; another, to internal factors. Empirical evidence from Matos (2016), through a panel study with a sample of 14 emerging countries, concluded that only 30% of the Brazilian deceleration can be explained by external factors. So, the objective of this dissertation is to analyze the performance of the Brazilian economy between 1980 and 2015, focusing on the Brazilian deceleration post-2010, under three different methods: comparative analysis, panel data and synthetic control. All the methodologies show that Brazil has suffered a strong deceleration of its economy in recent years, especially in the biennium 2014-2015. Moreover, the recent gap of the performance of the Brazilian economy with some comparison groups, which has not occurred in other periods of the past, reinforces the view that this recent loss of pace is largely due to specific factors in our economy.
