title: Redesign or demise of old Developmental States? East Asia in the post-financial crisis of 2008

description: ABSTRACT This article investigates comparatively the recent developmental dynamics of four East Asian political economies: Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and China. We analyze how the critical juncture engendered by the systemic crisis of the US subprime impacted on its State capabilities, particularly regarding industrial policy, being mediated by the respective regulatory and institutional frameworks. Additionally, we compare the impacts of the 2008 crisis and the previous Asian regional crisis of 1997. Our findings indicate that State capabilities, associated to the historical construction of a Developmental State, were a central feature to understand the resilience of each political economy.

title: The role of credit in regional divergence: Spanish regions and Eurozone countries

description: ABSTRACT This paper provides a theoretical account of the role of regional differences in cyclical patterns of credit availability for patterns of regional convergence or divergence. While mainstream theories imply either equalising regional capital flows, or else lower credit availability for peripheral regions due to market imperfections, Post-Keynesian theory of liquidity preference and financial structure imply the scope for greater credit volatility for peripheral regions, especially in downturns, contributing to real economic divergence. This latter account is assessed by means of an empirical analysis of patterns in bank credit over the business cycle among the Spanish regions and Eurozone countries.

title: Marx and the 21st century capitalism

description: ABSTRACT This article aims to analyze contemporary capitalism in the light of Marx’s contribution in The Capital. For this, in the first part their understanding of money capital, interest-bearing capital and fictitious capital are discussed, emphasizing the fetishized aspects and the autonomy that the latter achieved in relation to the production of goods, that is, new value. In the second part, the volume assumed by fictitious capital in world capitalism and its consequences for the interior of companies and for the maintenance of employment, among others, are analyzed. Among its conclusions, it is pointed out that this relative autonomy does not constitute an anomaly or cancer. On the contrary, it is an expression of the logical development of the capital form, when there are no restraints on it, given the situation of retreat in which workers are at the international level.

title: The Rehn-Meidner Plan and the Swedish development model in the Golden Years

description: ABSTRACT In general, the literature on the developmental state studies Asia and Latin America, not Scandinavia. This article examines the developmental character of the state in Sweden, distinguishing it as a specific case, because its institutions and policies combine the simultaneous promotion of industrialization and social equity. The paper analyzes the Swedish model of development, centered in Rehn-Meidner Plan (R-M), a political strategy of the national development headed by the Swedish Social Democratic Party (SAP). It is argued that in Sweden industrialization and the construction of the welfare state were two sides of the same coin. The R-M Plan played a key role in consolidating the Swedish model between 1945 and 1975. It combined and articulated economic development, centered on industrialization, reduction of social inequalities, and fiscal and monetary stability. It increased productive complexity and equality, unified economic policy and social policy, planned industrialization and income redistribution. It was structured through a broad power pact among workers, industry, farmers, political representatives elected by SAP and public bureaucracy. It was institutionalized, above all, by the democratic corporatist arrangement of centralized salary negotiations.

title: Population aging and inequality

description: ABSTRACT This article outlines the profile of the population over 65 years old in Brazil. It describes the aging of the population and the differences in life expectancy in regions with different income levels. It discusses income and its distribution among people over 65 years old and shows that the income distribution among them is more egalitarian compared to the population under 65 years old. Finally, by reviewing some aspects of the discussion on pension reform, it concludes by perceiving the need for an agenda for training and qualification of the workforce throughout the life cycle.

title: Taxing wealth: general principles, international perspectives and lessons for Brazil

description: ABSTRACT The international debate on wealth taxation has been subject to renewed interest amid new proposals coming out of the US electoral cycle and the salience of wealth inequality. This article reviews the case for taxing wealth and its transfer across generations (wealth and inheritance taxes), analyzing their design from an international comparative perspective, and extracting lessons for Brazil. The long-debated “Tax on Large Fortunes” has never been implemented and the state-level “Tax on Inheritances” has been watered down over time. We propose a framework for the progressive implementation and reform of both taxes in the country. We argue, given the historical record and current research, that they are technically and administratively feasible propositions, notwithstanding important political economy considerations.

title: The public deficit and the growth of the federal securities debt (1985-2018)

description: ABSTRACT The deficit of the public accounts is usually pointed out as the main responsible for the increase of the national debt. However, this is not true. The analysis done this study, for the period 1995 to 2018, showed that the Central Government nominal deficit represented only a smaller part of the growth of the Domestic Federal Public Debt (DPMFi). Other factors, mainly those related to the monetary and exchange policy of the Central Bank, explain most of the growth of the DPMFi in the period.

title: Financialisation and the Portuguese private consumption: two contradictory effects?

description: ABSTRACT This paper makes an empirical evaluation of the relationship between financialisation and the Portuguese private consumption by performing a time series econometric analysis from the first quarter of 1996 to the third quarter of 2019. Framed within the post-Keynesian literature, financialisation has two contradictory effects on private consumption. The first one corresponds to the fall in the households’ labour income, which favours a deceleration of private consumption. The second one corresponds to the increase of households’ debt and the increase of households’ financial and housing wealth, which favours an acceleration of private consumption. The global net effect of financialisation tends to be positive because the beneficial wealth effect suppresses the harmful income effect. We estimated a private consumption equation that includes four control variables (unemployment rate, inflation rate, short-term interest rate and long-term interest rate) and three variables linked to financialisation (labour income, net financial wealth and housing wealth). Our results confirm that labour income, net financial wealth and housing wealth are positive determinants of Portuguese private consumption. Our results also show that financialisation has represented an important driver of Portuguese private consumption, particularly due to the beneficial effects of net financial wealth.

title: Measuring the fiscal governance instruments: a synthetic index for EU countries

description: ABSTRACT The aim of the paper is to examine the collective effect of fiscal governance instruments (i.e., fiscal rules, medium-term budgetary frameworks, independent fiscal institutions) on the fiscal outcomes of EU member states. The results of panel data model estimation for 28 EU countries for the period 2004-2016 confirm a statistically significant and positive impact of synthentic index for those instruments on the general government balance to GDP ratio. Additionally, an adjustment of the synthetic index was proposed, taking into account the degree of autonomy of independent fiscal institutions, and the link between medium-term budgetary frameworks and the annual budget.

title: Analysis of the effects of the New Automotive Regime (1996-1999) and Inovar-Auto (2012-2017)

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this paper was to analyze the effects of the New Automotive Regime and Inovar-Auto Regime on the national production, export and import of automotive vehicles, using a comparative analysis of these public policies. In this comparative, we considered real data of the automobile industry, as well as information obtained through the promulgation of provisional measures, laws and decrees. No regime proved totally effective in expanding domestic production relative to world production. The first regime proved to be effective in increasing relative exports, but this was not the case for the second regime and both regimes proved effective in reducing imports.

title: Economic growth and innovation: an estimation of the innovation possibilities function

description: ABSTRACT This article investigates the format of innovation possibilities function to the United States between 1950 and 2011. Is used the theoretical model of Kennedy (1964) for the estimation of econometric model. The database used was the United States Long Term - USLT organized by Dumenil and Lévy (1994). The results suggest that the innovation possibilities function is compatible with the description of technical progress happened during the analysis period and point the existence of a trade-off between the growth rates of labor productivity and capital to the United States in the period in study.

title: Determinants of the technological intensity of state exports for the period of rising commodity prices

description: ABSTRACT The aim of this paper is to analyze the behavior and determinants of Brazilian states exports, by technological intensity levels, for the period of commodity prices shocks. The results showed that sectors of higher technology lost representativeness in exports and that the real exchange rate can facilitate access for strategic sectors in the international market.

title: Meras Coisas e Artes do Espaço: Desconstrução em Obras

description: ABSTRACT: This text approaches some contemporary works in the visual arts (works by G. Penone, R. Smithson, C. Casanova) which present different relations and dispositions of a material taken to be natural: stone. I intend to revisit the distinctions presented by Heidegger between mere things, utensils and works of art, as well as between stone, animal and man in connection with the world. Furthermore, I will discuss dislocations regarding such issues, based on indications from deconstruction (Jacques Derrida and other authors). I aim to indicate some of the meanings under which deconstructive approaches are fruitful for thinking about contemporary movements within the scope of what Derrida calls "spatial arts".
