A renúncia tributária do ICMS no Brasil
Authors: De Azevedo Felipe , Silva Carvalho Célia Maria , Figueiró Silveira Ricardo , Klintowitz Danielle , Rodrigues Afonso José Roberto
Published: March 2024

A agenda brasileira de propostas e debates sobre a reforma tributária gira há décadas em torno do imposto sobre operações relativas à circulação de mercadorias e sobre prestações de serviços de transporte interestadual, intermunicipal e de comunicação (ICMS) e, mais recentemente, de sua peculiar e intensa guerra fiscal. Apesar disso, é raro se discutir a dimensão dos incentivos que lhe servem como munição, sejaem caráter nacional seja entre os entes federados para efeito de comparação. Esta pesquisa objetiva levantar os dados disponíveis para quantificar a renúncia estadual de receita. Depois da Lei de Responsabilidade Fiscal, cada vez mais estados estão estimando essa renúncia no âmbito das respectivas leis de diretrizes orçamentárias e a publicando na internet. À parte a qualidade dessa projeção, os números originalmente informados nas leis estaduais recentes, para o triênio 2012/14, evidenciam uma renúncia crescente e razoavelmente expressiva, inclusive se comparada à federal. Como ainda há muito que se avançar na qualidade e rotina de tal levantamento, este trabalho conclui com recomendações que visam aperfeiçoar os cálculos e sua divulgação, em especial buscando tornar ainda mais transparente e debatido no Brasil essa peculiar forma de gasto público dos Estados brasileiros.

La Realidad Social: Una introducción a los Problemas y Políticas del Desarrollo Social en América Latina: Módulo III: Los Nuevos Retos de la Educación
Authors: Lora Eduardo
Published: March 2024

Hacia 1960, los latinoamericanos mayores de quince años tenían apenas 3,3 años de educación en promedio. Cincuenta años más tarde, ese promedio es cercano a 8,3 años. En la actualidad, tanto el número como la proporción de niños que asiste a la escuela son los más altos jamás registrados. Hasta la década de 1980, las expansiones de cobertura se concentraron en la primaria y, desde comienzos de la década de 1990, han abarcado también la secundaria y la educación preescolar. Un hecho singular de la región es que las niñas de cohortes recientes se han incorporado al sistema educativo en pie de igualdad con los niños y, en promedio, las mujeres superan a los varones en cuanto al número de años de escolaridad concluidos en casi todos los países de la región. En estos aspectos, América Latina se asemeja más a los países desarrollados que a otras regiones del mundo en desarrollo.

This issue of the Journal is devoted to physical integration in Latin America.
