The Brazilian Trade Balance deficit in the 1990s was blamed on the adopted crawling-peg exchange rate regime in which the real exchange rate was supposedly appreciated.

The results indicate that the Marshall–Lerner condition holds and the J-curve would be present in the aftermath of a real exchange rate devaluation.
