title: Patterns of external insertion in global value chains: a comparative analysis between Brazil and China

description: ABSTRACT The international trade literature has shown the benefits of the international fragmentation of production for developing countries. However, there are considerations about the hierarchy and control in Global Value Chains (GVCs). Thus, this research aims to evaluate the Brazilian and Chinese international insertion in GVCs by proposing an index about technological sophistication in exports (qtech) by technological intensity for 2005-2015. The results pointed out that the integration in GVCs and technological sophistication have been directed towards technological clusters in which Brazil has revealed comparative advantages, while China has been moving towards technological clusters with dynamic comparative advantages.

title: Corporate venture capital and corporate accelerators: differences and similarities

description: ABSTRACT The research aims to point out the differences and similarities between Corporate Venture Capital (CorpVC) and Corporate Accelerators (AC), as mechanisms of collaboration between mature companies and Startups. The research highlighted that the phenomenon of Corporate Accelerators and Corporate Venture Capital are open innovation practices, which can be semi-institutionalized in companies that intend to seek innovation in external environments. The fact that CorpVC and AC are based on strategic objectives, and not only financial ones, differentiate them from other types of investments made directly in companies, however, it was noticed that both strategies have crucial differences, which as previously seen by the mature company, that can be better applied, ensuring the highest success rate based on the purpose and objective of the financing Corporation.

title: Social networks effects on outcomes of government programs: a systematic review

description: ABSTRACT The adoption of public policies to reduce inequality in Brazil has grown significantly over the last few years, as a result of a social welfare agenda. In an increasingly connected world, social interactions must be taken into account in policy making. This study aims to systematically investigate and map the studies in the area of economics that consider the role of networks in the results of social programs and income transfer. The systematic review method shows the state of the art in the literature regarding the employability of social networks within the scope of public policies, highlighting the main estimation methods, network structures, the most active authors in the area, as well as the open gaps and motivations for further research.

title: Exchange rate crises in Latin America, East Asia and Russia

description: ABSTRACT A number of developing countries mainly in East Asia and Latin America and Russia suffered exchange rate crises in the 1990s. We examine the run up to the crisis in terms of a few macro indicators suggested by various crisis models. We then examine the aftermath of the crisis, in contrast to most empirical work that concentrates on determining the causes of crises. We seek to explain the pre-crisis as well as the post-crisis situation in the light of various crisis models. We find that the first-generation crisis model despite anomalies seems to fit the crises in Latin American countries whereas it does not fit the crisis in the Asian countries. The Russian case is different from any of the crisis models. The crisis eliminated the Dutch disease aspects leading to a large increase in exports and an improvement in the current account balance. This resulted in a higher growth rate of GDP. We also find that the exchange market pressure index is not successful in predicting the crises.

title: The compass and the pendulum: development and international insertion of Brazil

description: ABSTRACT Changes in the development policies and the international insertion are analyzed. Starting from 1980s crisis and the first neoliberal cycle, its failure and political change by Workers Party administration, the work goes on examining PT’s “neodevelopmentalism” and its aim on changing the country’s role in the international regime. Economic crisis begun in 2014 and proceeded in the coup of 2016 and the return of neoliberalism. The analysis goes on dealing with changing class interests and social forces balance of power making the choice on “neodevelopmentalism” and neoliberalism.

title: Native and invasive species abundance distributions in lakes at North Temperate Lakes LTER 1979-2010

description: These data were compiled from multiple sources. We collated data on the abundance or density of aquatic invasive and native species sampled in more than 20 sites using the same methods. To control for sampling methodology and allow comparisons among native and invasive species, we only included data where both invasive and native species from a taxonomic group were sampled using the same methods across multiple sites. Exceptions were made to include rusty crayfish (Orconectes rusticus) in its native range and zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) data.

title: Is Inflation Targeting destabilizing? Lessons from Latin America

description: ABSTRACT This paper argues that several aspects of the productive structure and the macroeconomic policies of Latin American countries, when combined with a Taylor Rule, may produce too much output volatility and a bias towards real exchange rate overvaluation. Relaying on a simple Aggregate Demand - Aggregate Supply model, we show that this is a likely outcome when: a) the real interest rate elasticity of demand is low; b) depreciations have strong contractionary effects; and c) the exchange rate pass-through is relatively large. These conditions imply that depreciations are contractionary and a have a strong effect on inflation.

title: Methodological approaches to measuring quality of life

description: ABSTRACT The ultimate goal of the present work lay in creating a vector methodology for measuring QoL. Application of an integrated approach to the results of the classification analysis and SWOT analysis enabled elaborating a vector methodology of a recommendatory type aimed at improving QoL measurement approaches. It was established that this methodology should include four major updates taking into account the challenges of tomorrow. The study results may be of interest to public authorities responsible for taking measures directed at raising the country’s international ranking as well as be used for reducing contradictions on the part of QoL measuring procedures.

title: Capes’ evaluation and the field of Economics: the primacy of the American orthodox mainstream

description: ABSTRACT Using the Bourdieusian concept of Field, this article looks at Capes’ evaluation of graduate programs as an expression of the disputes surrounding the very definition of what constitutes Economics. Based on extensive documentary analysis, it demonstrates how the criteria in place are markedly exclusionary. On the one hand, they encourage researchers to adopt the assumptions of neoclassical liberalism, tested by econometric models, in line with American mainstream; on the other hand, they punish, in more or less extent, all other possible theoretical, methodological and thematic approaches, hindering the development of studies built upon the many diverse local Brazilian realities.

title: Employment, technical change and growth in Brazil: a conclusion from Input-Output Matrix

description: ABSTRACT The debate on technological unemployment is accentuated when disruptive innovations gain eminence, as is the recent case of artificial intelligence. However, such analyses often ignore economic growth and aggregate demand in the treatment of unemployment. This article analyses what has been happening about the jobs in Brazil from the structural decomposition of the Input-Output Matrix. What we find is that, except for agriculture, sectors were job generators from 2000 to 2015. In addition, demand gains were able to compensate for job losses resulting from technological progress.

title: Brazilian underdevelopment portrayed by its excluding growth dynamics: an empirical analysis based on Celso Furtado

description: ABSTRACT Celso Furtado’s analysis of Brazilian underdevelopment is widely recognized for its historical-structural approach, while his macroeconomic analytical bias often receives little attention. Considering this, in addition to giving emphasis to this perspective of his analysis, this work aims at carrying out an empirical essay which tests the relationships among the main variables of the author’s scheme. For this purpose, an SVAR (Structural Vector Auto-regressive) is used with data from Brazilian economy, from 1965 to 2015. The results show that the tested interrelations are consistent with his macroeconomic interpretation of the growth process of Brazilian economy in the boundary of underdevelopment.

title: Digitalization and its impact on economic growth

description: ABSTRACT Digitalization transforms the traditional concepts of economic growth and competitiveness. This article studies the effect of digitalization on Russia’s economic growth. As indicators measuring the impact of digitalization processes on economic growth, the study used the Gross Domestic Product per capita, the Global Competitiveness Index, the Index of Digital Life, the Digital Adoption Index, and the Resilience Index. Their in-depth examination based on a three-pronged model showed that the state of the macroenvironment and the readiness of the population for digital transformation do not allow digital technologies to affect the economic growth rate seriously.

title: Brazil’s quasi-stagnation and the new developmentalism

description: ABSTRACT From the 1980s, Brazil quasi-stagnated while East-Asia continued to grow. What went wrong? Classical developmentalists and post-Keynesians argue the cause was the desertion of the national developmental project based on structural change or industrialization. New-developmental economics agrees but is more specific: two historical new facts reduced investments. In the 1980s, a fiscal crisis of the state defined by negative public savings, broke up. This crisis, which was not resolved, led to the fall of public investments. As to private investments, they also have fallen as a percentage of GDP (when we compare with the 1970). They have fallen due to an action and an omission. The action was the mistaken adoption of growth with foreign indebtedness policy and the consequent excess of capital inflows. The omission was the suspension of the neutralization of the Dutch disease. Both resulted in a long-term overvaluation of the exchange rate and stopped industrialization.
