JEL Classification: O1; O11; O19.A doutrina do Novo Desenvolvimentismo defende o papel central desempenhadopor uma taxa de câmbio real competitiva na promoção do catch-up nas economias emdesenvolvimento. Recentemente, essa teoria foi questionada pelos críticos; a principalcrítica tem sido a de que uma estratégia de crescimento externo baseada em uma taxa decâmbio real competitiva prejudicaria a distribuição de renda/salários reais e teria um efeitonegativo sobre a economia. Este estudo discute como a taxa de câmbio real influencia ocrescimento à luz da nova doutrina desenvolvimentista e das experiências contrastantes dospaíses asiáticos e latino-americanos. Sua principal contribuição é documentar a influência dataxa de câmbio real no desempenho econômico, especificamente por meio de determinadoscanais de transmissão. As conclusões do artigo sugerem que uma RER competitiva é umaspecto importante na trajetória de crescimento de um país, na medida em que favorecelucros, acumulação de capital, exportações líquidas e ganhos em capacidades sociais.
