This paper aims to predict the economic impacts of 2014 FIFA World Cup in the Brazilian economy, states and host cities. We consider the investments in renovation/construction of sports infrastructure (stadiums) and urban infrastructure published recently by the Ministry of Sports. The impacts of construction and operation of those investments are projected through simulations with a computable general equilibrium model, with special attention to funding options (public, private and BNDES).
