The objective of this essay is to study the determinants of the Brazilian real effective exchange rate between January 1999 and July 2015 along with observed misalignments through a behavioral model with permanent and transitory components. The variables (or fundamentals) have been selected searching for a reconciliation of this methodology with the Post-Keynesian literature, especially that developed by John T. Harvey, considering the interaction among real and monetary variables (non-neutrality of money) and the key role in exchange rate determination ascribed to the international financial system, capital flows and expectations formation in a context of fundamental uncertainty. And the results were evaluated using the insights of the structuralist literature, especially that developed by Bresser-Pereira. Our results showed that the exchange rate was undervalued in July 2015, that is, showing a misalignment in which the exchange rate was 14% depreciated in relation to its long term estimated equilibrium. On the other hand, based on the concept of optimal real exchange rate (Nassif et al, 2011), which seeks to establish a reference rate in line with a competitive rate a la Bresser, the exchange rate in July 2015 is found to be rather 12.9% overvalued, pointing to an optimal level of R$/US$ 3,83 at that month.
