โฆ Synopsis
This paper investigates the main sources of instability in Brazil during the currency and financial distress episode of 2002. We test for financial contagion from the Argentine crisis and the impact of factors including IMF intervention and political uncertainty in raising the probability of crisis. The empirical investigation employs a Markov-switching model with endogenous transition probabilities.

## Abstract A stability condition is developed for multivariable, nonlinear feedback systems. The method is based on a modified sector condition and is combined with a polynomial expansion of the nonlinear system to create viable approximations that can be exploited within the sector bound setting.
