Abstract
This paper analyses the connections between real exchange rate, exports and economic growth, on both levels, theoretically and empirically. We use a Keynesian approach inspired by the works of Kaldor and Thirlwall in order to access those connections. We applied the Almon lag method to estimate the impacts of real exchange rates on Brazilian exports. Our results support the Keynesian approach. We conclude by exploring policy implications of our estimates, considering the results of previous papers on the same subject. Key words: Exports; real exchange rates; Almon lag method.
