Affirmative action in basic education : subsidies for the FUNDEB equity measure.
(2022) Tripodi, Maria do Rosário Figueiredo; Delgado, Victor Maia Senna; Januário, Eduardo
The limits of educational universalistic policies are discussed in the sphere of educational financing, for the reduction of racial inequalities, presenting subventions to think about the creation of an index for equitable allocation of financial resources according to the perspective of the concept VAAR/FUNDEB. A principle concerning difference and corrective justice is integrated into the premises, in order to highlight the pressure of the racial attribute in the measure of equity provided for by the Law n. 14113/2020. The approach of the interpretation adopted by the paper sustains that to overcome racial inequalities in education it is required that the State takes advancement in the presupposition of equal treatment while distributing financial resources to the schools.
An implementation on Python of the classical Nelson and Winter models.
(2022) Clementino, José Bruno do Nascimento; Barrenechea, Martin Harry Vargas
This paper addresses the computational implementation in Python of the family of classical Schumpeterian Competition models developed by Nelson and Winter. A simple one-shot model is presented as a seed for the development of evolutionary dynamic models. Then, a parallel development between theory and computational implementation using the inheritance capabilities present in Python is done, in order to contemplate innovation, system dynamics, adaptive innovation policies and patents. The results of the original work are compared to the results found throughout the development of this work.
International migration and the history of education in the Brazilian countryside.
(2022) Varolo, Flavia Renata da Silva; Ferreira, Luiz Mateus da Silva; Souza, Bruno Gabriel Witzel de
During the Age of Mass Migration, circa 250 thousand German-speakers immigrated to Brazil. Even if numerically limited, these immigrants played a central role in the consolidation of the Brazilian culture, society, and economy. The German- speaking immigration to Brazil also influenced the country’s settlement policies in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and had a feedback effect on global labor markets during the first age of globalization. In this compilation for the Global Migra- tion Studies, Flavia da Silva Varolo discusses in an interview her research on German settlements in the Riograndense Colony, a project for land selling to foreigners in the western portion of the state of São Paulo. She debates the persistence of cultural habits among descendants of immigrants and the negative effects of violently im- posed assimilation, such as that perpetrated by the Brazilian State in the 1930s-1940s. As a linguist and education historian, Ms. Varolo highlights the importance of inter- disciplinarity for studying immigration history. In the sequence, Luiz Mateus da Silva Ferreira revises Varolo’s book. His review puts the case study at hand into the general framework of the Age of Mass Migration and presents economic aspects related to education history. The review also points to the need of critically assessing the at- tempts of influence exercised by the NSDAP over regions that had received German- speaking immigrants in Latin America since the nineteenth century.
Does monetary policy impact CO2 emissions? : a GVAR analysis.
(2023) Attílio, Luccas Assis; Faria, João Ricardo; Rodrigues, Mauro
This paper studies the relationship between monetary policy and CO2 emissions. Our contribution is twofold: (i) we present a stylized dynamic AD-AS model with Global Value Chains (GVC) and carbon emissions to illustrate this relationship, (ii) we estimate the effect of monetary policy on emissions using the GVAR methodology, which explicitly considers the interconnection between regions instead of treating them as isolated economies. We focus on CO2 emissions in four regions: U.S., U.K., Japan and the Eurozone, but we use data from 8 other countries to characterize the international economy. Our results show that a monetary contraction in a country is associated with lower domestic emissions both in the short- and the long-run. Although we do not find evidence of cross- region effects concerning monetary policy, variance decomposition suggests that external factors are relevant to understanding each region’s fluctuations in emissions.
Mining and productive specialization : economic impacts of the collapse of the Dam of Fundão in Mariana/Brazil.
(2021) Silva, Jordana Ferreira da; Silva, Fernanda Faria; Oliveira, Héder Carlos de
This paper analyzes the economic impacts in the municipality of Mariana from the Fundão Dam rupture occurred at the end of 2015. The central hypothesis is that economic dependence on the mineral extraction sector makes this municipality more vulnerable to adverse shocks affecting this productive sector, compromising its job recovery capacity. In order to calculate the impacts of this disaster, datas on formal employment estimated through the Synthetic Control Method were used. The results showed that, although Mariana and its synthetic version show similar formal employment trajectory in the pre-shock period, Mariana recovered employability in the second year after the dam rupture, unlike the control group. However, this result is not due to the recovery of formal employment based on sustainable economic diversification strategies, but essentially by dependence of the mining activity and the post- disaster remediation actions that has been gradually implemented in order to recover affected areas.
The green transition in emerging economies : green bond issuance in Brazil and China.
(2022) Deus, Juliana Lima de; Crocco, Marco; Silva, Fernanda Faria
Green bonds have emerged as an innovative financial instrument that may be used to mobilise incremental resources for long-term financing projects focused on building sustainable infrastructure. In this regard, this article advances research on green bond markets in emerging economies (EEs) by comparing the evolution of the certified green bonds markets in Brazil and China. For this purpose, a mixed analysis was applied. The qualitative analysis is based on a literature review to contextualise the main drivers and barriers to the evolution of the green bond market in light of national policies and features of the financial system in each country. For the quantitative analysis, the certified green bond markets are assessed in terms of the amounts issued as a percentage of the debt securities markets, considering the participation of each issuer type and the allocation of revenue across eligible sectors. Information on certified green bond amounts issued and on debt securities’ markets was obtained from the Climate Bonds Initiative and BIS databases. The results show that the evolution of the Chinese and Brazilian certified green bonds markets remains negligible, in terms of the whole debt securities market. Although green bonds may be considered an important market solution, they still do not provide sufficient resources necessary for a meaningful green transition, especially in EEs. However, findings also show that in China, compared to Brazil, features of the financial system combine with more consolidated green policies to act in favour of scaling up and distributing revenue to crucial sectors to green transition.
A participação do sistema bancário no financiamento produtivo brasileiro de 2010 a 2015.
(2022) Silva, Fernanda Faria; Araújo, Gabriela
Este artigo objetiva verificar se o processo de abertura financeira contribuiu para ampliar as possibilidades de financiamento do setor produtivo do Brasil. E compreender a dinâmica do financiamento de longo prazo e a participação do sistema bancário público e privado (nacional e estrangeiro) neste processo. De maneira mais específica, analisará o efeito do desenvolvimento do setor financeiro e da concessão de crédito sobre a estrutura de capital de grandes empresas brasileiras selecionadas. Ele incorpora os determinantes do padrão de alavancagem de uma empresa, que incluem o tamanho da empresa, estrutura de ativos, rentabilidade, crescimento, risco de negócio, idade da empresa e crescimento do PIB (Produto Interno Bruto) na forma de controle de variáveis. A partir dos dados, é possível inferir sobre a não alteração no padrão de financiamento das empresas brasileiras e na relação direta das mesmas com a oferta de crédito em cada estado.
Resilient regions in Brazil : unfolding the effects of covid-19 from a socioeconomic perspective.
(2022) Tupy, Igor Santos; Silva, Fernanda Faria; Diniz, Gustavo Figueiredo Campolina; Montenegro, Rosa Lívia Gonçalves; Stein, Alexandre de Queiroz; Ferraz, Diogo
At the beginning of 2020, the world was left in an unprecedented state of shock by the COVID-19 pandemic. Brazil quickly became the epicenter of new cases of contam- ination, where the propagation of the virus was unrestrained, despite boasting one of the strongest Universal health coverage systems in Latin America. This paper has at least three empirical contributions to the literature about economic resilience and the COVID-19 pandemic. Firstly it is a critical issue regarding the “economics versus life” trade-off, which is an essential question for developing countries, given that policy- makers must decide between policies to reduce the number of COVID-19 infections without damaging the economy. Secondly, our findings suggest that the early adoption of isolation measures applied in 2020, such as the financial aid and the vaccination have been effective in controlling the effects of the pandemic, especially in vulnerable microregions. Furthermore, it was verified that the Emergency financial aid was a fundamental policy in minimizing the economic impacts of the pandemic and allowing people to practice social distancing, contributing positively to the Employment Re- silience Index and negatively related to the growth rate of deaths due to COVID-19. The contribution of our study is to measure an inverted U-shaped curve to dem- onstrate that policymakers must achieve a minimum of families to decrease the COVID-19 deaths. These contributions are essential and straightforward findings to lead policymakers’ decisions in developing countries facing financial constraints in the public budget and population reticence about physical distancing, self-quarantine and vaccination.

A herança africana e a construção do Estado brasileiro.
(2021) Oliveira, Paulo Roberto de
Este artigo tem como objetivo compreender como, de maneira aparente- mente paradoxal no Brasil, com uma so- ciedade erigida em estreita relação com o Continente Africano, se construiu um Es- tado que desde suas primeiras décadas de existência mostrou-se hostil aos africanos e a seus descendentes, promovendo, ao con- trário, a continuidade de uma civilização europeia nos trópicos.
Análise da dinâmica de redes dos atos de concentração econômica em empresas da área da saúde no Brasil.
(2021) Oliveira, Luana Martins; Menezes, João Paulo Calembo Batista; Ribeiro, Mirian Martins; Gonçalves, Márcio Augusto; Souza, Marcio Coutinho de
A promulgação da Lei no 13.097/15 estendeu a possibilidade da participação de empresas estrangeiras na área da saúde no Brasil, até então acessível a apenas alguns setores, como o da saúde suplementar. Nesse contexto, o objetivo, no presente trabalho, foi caracterizar a dinâmica das redes de operações de atos de concentração econômica em hospitais e em planos de saúde no Brasil. Para isso, foram coletados dados nos processos disponibilizados no sítio do Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Econômica (Cade), organizados a partir da estrutura societária e da origem dos investidores (estrangeira ou nacional) e analisados com a utilização de software para análise de redes. Por meio da análise dos dados, foi identificada a realização de 93 atos de concentração econômica no período de 2009 a 2017 e a participação de 12 empresas estrangeiras com origem predominante nos Estados Unidos da América. Esses atos de concentração evidenciaram a formação de uma robusta rede composta por três grupos econômicos com controle societário predominantemente estrangeiro, bem como uma latente necessidade de que sejam estabelecidas políticas para analisar os riscos e os benefícios dessa nova realidade ao mercado da saúde brasileiro. Caso contrário, colocar-se-á à sorte os potenciais reflexos no sistema de saúde brasileiro.
Mortalidade adulta por nível de escolaridade em São Paulo : análise comparativa a partir de diferentes estratégias metodológicas.
(2021) Ribeiro, Mirian Martins; Turra, Cassio Maldonado; Pinto, Cristine Campos de Xavier
Neste artigo, são estimados os diferenciais educacionais de mortalidade de adultos residentes em São Paulo. É realizada uma análise comparativa de estimativas a partir de dados do Censo 2010 e do Sistema de Informação de Mortalidade (SIM) – Datasus e de três formas distintas de mensuração da escolaridade: registrada no SIM; declarada no Censo para o responsável pelo domicílio; e imputada estatisticamente no Censo para indivíduos que morreram. Para as imputações da escolaridade, utilizou-se o método de Dempester (1977), que propõe o uso do algoritmo esperança-maximização (algoritmo E-M) para lidar com dados faltantes. Foram considerados três níveis de escolaridade (baixo, médio e alto) e estimadas as taxas de mortalidade com base em modelos Poisson. Os resultados indicam que a obtenção de escolaridade pode reduzir em até 77% as taxas de mortalidade entre 25 e 59 anos de idade. Além disso, em um país em que a população tem baixa escolaridade, obter ensino médio representa um ganho significativo do ponto de vista da sobrevivência adulta (cerca de 50%). Encontraram-se padrões de mortalidade por escolaridade semelhantes para as estimativas obtidas com dados registrados no SIM e aqueles imputados no Censo 2010. Além disso, a análise sugere que estimativas assumindo a escolaridade do responsável pelo domicílio resultam em diferenciais de mortalidade atípicos, provavelmente distorcidos pela transição de educação no Brasil. Espera-se que o modelo de imputação proposto aqui possa ser utilizado em futuras análises dos dados de mortalidade a partir do Censo 2010.
Dois manuscritos para revisar a história da colônia Dona Francisca (Joinville/SC), um dos mais importantes núcleos de colonização alemã do Brasil no século XIX.
(2021) Ferreira, Luiz Mateus da Silva
Os dois manuscritos transcritos neste trabalho são a carta do príncipe François de Orléans (Príncipe de Joinville) ao conselheiro e mordomo da Casa Imperial Paulo Barbosa da Silva, e o pró-memória encaminhado pela Kolonisations-Verein von 1849 in Hamburg ao ministro do Império Pedro de Araújo Lima (Visconde de Olinda). Estes manuscritos reve- lam o particular interesse do príncipe de Joinville no negócio da colonização do Brasil e, ao mesmo tempo, questionam a ideia amplamente difundida na historiografia de que o sucesso da colônia Dona Francisca, hoje município de Joinville, um dos mais importantes núcleos coloniais de Santa Catarina e do Brasil no século XIX, prescindiu de grandes favores do governo brasileiro por ser um empreendimento privado, organizado e dirigido por um grupo de empresários alemães. A publicação desses manuscritos, aparentemente desconhecidos ou ignorados pelos principais escritores da história de Joinville, traz à luz novas evidências para o debate da colonização alemã em Santa Catarina e no Brasil.
Um estudo da convergência de renda per capita entre os municípios catarinenses.
(2018) Silva Júnior, Júlio César Araújo da; Bellei, Marina; Cittadin, Ismael; Menezes, Gabrielito Rauter
O estudo sobre a convergência de renda já é consolidado na literatura internacional. Em nível nacional, diversos são os estudos que investigam o comportamento da evolução da renda dos municípios e dos estados em diferentes regiões. Essas investigações são importantes para fornecer informações aos policy makers, que podem desenvolver estratégias para promover crescimento e desenvolvimento econômico das regiões em questão. Dentro desse contexto, os municípios do estado de Santa Catarina nunca foram investigados isoladamente sob a ótica da convergência, mesmo o estado apresentando elevadas taxas relativas de crescimento quando comparado com os demais. Neste trabalho, o objetivo é testar a hipótese de convergência de renda per capita entre os municípios catarinenses para o período de 2000 e 2010. Para tanto, adotamos uma estratégia composta por dois diferentes métodos, as regressões quantílicas e o método não paramétrico B-splines. De modo geral, os resultados indicaram convergência absoluta de renda. A análise da regressão não paramétrica sugeriu que, além da convergência absoluta, existem clubes de convergência entre os municípios catarinenses, apontando diferentes trajetórias entre grupos (quantis).
The circular economy, bioeconomy, and green investments : a systematic review of the literature.
(2022) Berto, Pietro Jacomini; Ferraz, Diogo; Rebelatto, Daisy Aparecida do Nascimento
Purpose – This study aims to evaluate the theoretical concept of the Bioeconomy and the Circular Economy in association with studies about green finance. Theoretical framework – Several studies pointed out that sustainable investments must replace production processes. This literature provides a favorable environment for new studies on the Circular Economy and Bioeconomy. However, the literature lacks definitions and differentiation between both concepts. Design/methodology/approach – A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was adequate to systematize the information from 345 articles, 231 relating to the Circular Economy, and 114 articles relating to the Bioeconomy. In addition, the contents of the 24 articles with the highest number of citations was reviewed. Findings – Our analysis revealed that the concepts of the Circular Economy and Bioeconomy could be similar or different. The concepts are similar due to the concern with sustainable economic development. However, the Circular Economy uses concepts that are related to the differentiation of the paradigm from a linear productive system to that of a loop. The Bioeconomy is more concerned with the use of biological resources and biotechnology. A geographic distribution of the studies can also identify the differences as well as the number of publications, citations, and methods used. However, both approaches equally show a scarcity of databases. Originality/value – Our study reveals that the Bioeconomy concept is hardly used in countries with high biodiversity, for example, countries that make up the Amazon region. On the other hand, there was a greater synergy between the Circular Economy approach and production processes in different economic sectors in developing countries.
Investigating the spill overs and connectedness between financial globalization, high-tech industries and environmental footprints : fresh evidence in context of China.
(2022) Shahzad, Umer; Ferraz, Diogo; Nguyen, Huu-Huan; Cui, Lianbiao
China faces the challenge of promoting high-tech industries and concomitantly reduces ecological footprints. This research analyzes the directional spillover impacts and connectedness for financial and trade globalization, high-tech industries, and environmental footprints of China. The authors used the data of financial globalization, trade globalization, economic complexity, middle and high-tech industrial contribution, and ecological footprint of China throughout 1996Q1 to 2019Q4. The empirics contribute to the debate on the impacts of the high technology industry, financial globalization for the environmental sustainably in the era of the digital economy. The study finds positive spillover effects from financial globalization (FGI), and economic complexity towards ecological footprints. Further, the high technology industrial contribution has a less significant impact on reducing environmental footprints. Overall, the findings are robust to the presence of structural change effects and the cleaner production objectives for China’s case. Concomitantly, the empirical findings allow us to report innovative conclusions and implications regarding the sustainable development goals (SDG-7, 10), high-industry, and environmental sustainability in China.
Sustainable human development at the municipal level : a data envelopment analysis index.
(2022) Lima, Pedro A. B.; Paião Júnior, Gilberto Dias; Santos, Thalita L.; Furlan, Marcelo; Battistelle, Rosane Aparecida Gomes; Silva, Gustavo H. R.; Ferraz, Diogo; Mariano, Enzo Barberio
The development of indexes for human development and environmental sustainability issues are an emerging topic in the current literature. However, the literature has put less emphasis on municipal indexes, which is the focus of this research. In this paper, we considered municipal environmental management as the adoption of environmental activities and the development of infrastructural and technical capacities in municipalities. This article aims to create a sustainable human development index with municipal data from the state of São Paulo in Brazil. Using informa- tion from the Municipal Human Development Index (IDHm) and the GreenBlue Municipal Program (PMVA), we applied the data envelopment analysis (DEA) technique to connect human development and environmental sustainability in 645 Brazilian municipalities. Our findings show that regions with higher human development present better DEA scores on the Sustainable Human Development Index. In contrast, regions with a low or a middle level of human development do not present significant change considering both dimensions. Moreover, our findings reveal that PMVA certification has a different and statistically significant impact on the DEA score considering certified, qualified, or not qualified regions. We found similar results for urbanized and service-oriented municipalities. Our indicator is an essential and straightforward tool for regional policymakers, helping to allocate resources and to find human development and environmental sustainability benchmarks among developing regions.
Exploring the effects of import diversification on energy efficiency : evidence from the OECD economies.
(2022) Dogan, Buhari; Ferraz, Diogo; Gupta, Monika; Huynh, Toan Luu Duc; Shahzadi, Irum
This study aims to unveil the heterogeneous impacts of import product diversification and institutional factors for achieving energy efficiency in Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries. In doing so, the study employs robust econometric techniques such as Fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) co-integration, pooled Ordinary Least Squares (OLS), Feasible Generalized Least Squares (FGLS), pool mean group regressions, fixed effects, and random effects for panel data from 1990 to 2015 for selected OECD countries. The detailed empirical outcomes suggest that import product diversification is conducive to reducing the energy and carbon intensity (improvement in energy effi- ciency) in OECD countries. The empirical conclusions provide various guidelines to achieve cleaner and greener growth and align with various Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 7: Affordable and clean energy, SDG 9: Industry, innovation, and infrastructure, and SDG 13: Climate action) of OECD countries. The paper elaborates fruitful policy suggestions regarding the diversification of imports and energy use- carbon emission-nexus for the OECD member nations. Based on the findings, policymakers and environmental scientists should strengthen the trade-energy and import portfolio policies to attain energy efficiency.
Energy efficiency and China's sustainable carbon neutrality target : evidence from novel research methods quantile on quantile regression approach.
(2022) Bao, Zongke; Ferraz, Diogo; Rebelatto, Daisy Aparecida do Nascimento
Since the last few decades, scholars and policy-makers have been struggling to find ways to achieve carbon neutrality target or a low carbon economy. To contribute to the existing literature regarding the said issue, this study aims to investigate whether energy efficiency could lead to achieving carbon neutrality target in the case of China. Also, this study analyses the association of economic growth to energy-related greenhouse gas emissions while using quarterly data over the period from 1990Q1 to 2014Q2. Empirical findings of the study suggest the mixed order of integration and Cointegration between economic growth, energy efficiency, and energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. This study employed a Quantile-on-Quantile regression approach to examine the long-run association at various quantiles. The esti- mated results asserted that energy efficiency holds a weaker rela- tionship in the lower and medium quantiles, while relatively higher association to energy-related emission in the upper quan- tiles. On the other hand, economic growth and its squared are found significantly and highly associated with enhancing energy- related emissions in the country. Besides, the frequency domain causality indicates a causal association running from energy effi- ciency and economic growth to energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. This study recommends revised policies for energy effi- ciency and suggests that economic growth could be used as a remedial measure for environmental recovery by enhancing investment in the renewable energy sector, energy efficiency, and structural transformation of the industrial sector.
Brazilian states in the context of COVID-19 pandemic : an index proposition using network data envelopment analysis.
(2021) Mariano, Enzo Barberio; Torres, Bruno G.; Almeida, Mariana Rodrigues de; Ferraz, Diogo; Rebelatto, Daisy Aparecida do Nascimento; Mello, João Carlos Soares de
This study aims to evaluate comparatively the situation of the federal units and the Brazilian states in relation to the pandemic of new coronaviruses (COVID19) through the technique of Network Data Envelopment Analysis (Network DEA - NDEA). For the development of research, data were collected on the Ministry of Health website, for all regions that register cases of virus cases notified until April 27, 2020. The purpose of the analysis is to assess regional discrepancies in the country. The model consists of the following structure: three inputs (number of doctors, number of respirators and number of clinical beds), an intermediate variable (number of reported cases) and one output (number of deaths). The results indicated that the federative unit with the worst performance overall was Amazonas, while the worst capital was Manaus. With two-dimensional representation, managers can visualize better which locations have the worst performance and assess which locations require more assistance. Depending on the results, managers can develop regional action plans, which can take steps to prevent the collapse of the health system.
