title: QUALITATIVE INPUT-OUTPUT ANALYSIS OF THE BRAZILIAN STRUCTURAL TRANSFORMATION, 2005 - 2014

description: ABSTRACT This paper investigates the changes to the essential economic structure of the Brazilian economy from 2005 to 2014. It uses the method of qualitative input-output analysis and its extensions, applied by Aroche-Reyes (1996) and Gosh and Roy (1998), to verify the pattern of structural change, the number of dynamic sectors, and to examine whether there has been change in the role of sectors in this period. The results indicate a change in the structure of the economy, leading to a decrease in intersector and intrasector economic linkages. In this context, the construction sector remains central, presenting a substantial number of important coefficients. However, the total number of important coefficients diminished in the whole period, indicating a deteriorated economic structure. This fact points to a restriction in the nation’s sustainable economic growth.

title: THE MONETARY IMPLICATIONS OF BRAZILIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK: A DIDACTIC APPROACH

description: ABSTRACT This article discusses the monetary policy consequences of the Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES). In particular, we show that BNDES loans with long-term interest rates (TJLP): i) raised the neutral interest rate (r-star or r*) of Brazilian economy; ii) increased the volatility of the monetary policy instrument. For this, we use a simple macroeconomic model, as proposed by Romer (2000), with an IS curve, a Phillips curve, and a monetary policy rule. Lastly, we show how the BNDES implications for monetary policy are weakened when we consider specific characteristics of the BNDES operational policy and/or when we assume the hypothesis that BNDES has positive effects on potential GDP by stimulating investment and accumulation of physical capital.

title: PER CAPITA GDP: ANALYSIS OF ITS DISTRIBUTION BETWEEN WOMEN AND MEN IN BRAZIL, 1991-2015

description: ABSTRACT The issue of the invisibility of women’s work is one of the oldest themes brought by feminism to the social sciences and is referred to as an attempt to reinterpret the concepts of paid/unpaid work. In general, women participate unequally in the labor market. The data show that women, on average, receive lower incomes than men, occupy fewer management positions, have higher turnover rates in the labor market, are concentrated in only a few industrial sectors, and are mainly allocated to the services and informal sectors. At the same time, they are mainly responsible for the care tasks related to the reproduction of life, defined by the sexual division of labor, a social and cultural convention that influences access and opportunities for advancing in work environments. Given this reality, this study estimated the difference in per capita income for women compared to men in Brazil for the years 1991 and 2000-2015. The results show that Brazilian women increased and improved their participation in the labor market, managing to increase their income in the period. However, despite having an average schooling higher than that of men, they still have a per capita income of just over 50% of men’s per capita income. This shows that this inequality goes beyond the possible justification of qualification difference.

title: EVIDENCE OF THE GENDER PRODUCTIVITY GAP IN THE BRAZILIAN TRANSFORMATION INDUSTRY

description: ABSTRACT This study analyzed the gender gap in the Brazilian manufacturing industry for different quantiles of male-female wage distribution. For that, we collected data from the PNAD and PIA corresponding to the period between 2003 and 2015 and applied Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition to unconditional quantiles distributions. Our results indicate that the productivity level accounts for male-female wage differentials. Pay disadvantages for women at the top of income distributions will be lower as higher the productivity level of the industry in which they are employed. However, less productive industries show lower differentials for lower-skilled individuals and lower incomes, besides little female representation in managerial positions. Women have higher education level than men for all levels of productivity in the Brazilian manufacturing industry, but such qualification plays a more relevant role in reducing gender gap within the most productive levels.

title: STRUCTURAL CHANGE AND LABOR PRODUCTIVITY IN BRAZIL IN THE 2000s: STRUCTURAL BONUS OR STRUCTURAL BURDEN?

description: ABSTRACT This article aims to analyze how structural changes in the Brazilian economy contributed to labor productivity growth between 2000 and 2018. To answer this question, structural indicators of the Brazilian economy are analyzed by decomposing the labor productivity of each economic activity for the aggregate result, considering employment share and relative prices effects. This work also provides a new systematization of the specialization pattern in the Brazilian economy regarding structural bonus or structural burden, analyzing them based on sector classifications. Our results suggest that the weak aggregate productivity growth until 2013 is more associated with a loss of productive efficiency in the industry and technology-intensive services than with a possible deindustrialization. However, the Brazilian economy showed signs of structural burden up from 2013; that is, a structural change towards activities with lower productivity growth, resulting from a more recent process of deindustrialization and increased participation of employment in low-tech services.

title: THE “NEW PROJECTMENT ECONOMY” IN THE FIGHT AGAINST COVID-19 AND THE CHINESE STATE CAPABILITIES AS A STRATEGIC POLITICAL FORCE

description: ABSTRACT This article seeks to show two interconnected phenomena in China. The first is a historical process that took place in the past 40 years involving institutional and qualitative changes in the state-controlled portion of the Chinese economy. Such changes have brought about new and superior forms of economic planning, based on which a higher stage of development pattern has emerged. We call this new development pattern "New Projectment Economy" and it synthesizes a series of state capacities built over time. The second phenomenon relates to how the state capacities created in the past decades have allowed the country to show adaptive flexibility and rapid efficiency in the containment of Covid-19 crisis internally and thus explain China's successful response in the fight against the coronavirus. Such phenomena, pari passu, show China's potential and projection as an international political actor.

title: EXCHANGE RATE VOLATILITY AND ITS EFFECTS ON BRAZILIAN EXPORTS TO THE US

description: ABSTRACT This paper investigated the influence of exchange-rate volatility on Brazilian exports to the US from January 1999 to February 2017. For this purpose, we used Pesaran’s bound test in an ARDL framework. Moreover, we built nonlinear measures for exchange-rate volatility to verify whether positive and negative exchange rate shocks affect equally on volatility. The proposed nonlinear measures indicated that positive exchange rate shocks imply greater volatility in the following periods. The results showed that long-term exchange rate volatility affected the exports similarly for the different measures. However, we found more positive relationships in the models using nonlinear measures than in those using linear ones. The sectors negatively affected were external capital-dependent products and manufactured or low value-added products. In contrast, the ones positively affected were products with no dependence on external capital or products with highly elastic demand.

title: LABOR MARKET, MINIMUM WAGE, AND INCOME DISTRIBUTION IN BRAZIL IN THE RECENT PAST

description: ABSTRACT This study examines Brazil's labor market and labor income distribution from 2012 to 2019 when the country faced economic deceleration and crisis. During the period, the labor market experienced significant transformations such as increased unemployment and informality, especially in 2015 and 2016. However, income inequality indicators showed a somewhat distinct trend with continued deconcentration until 2016. Using data from the IBGE/PNAD databases, the econometric analysis examined the effects of economic indicators and the minimum wage on labor income. The results confirm that the minimum wage had a significant impact on low/average levels of labor income, corroborating and qualifying other studies that highlighted the role of the minimum wage in improving the country's income distribution in previous periods. It was also observed that the minimum wage had little influence on the earnings of the first two-tenths of the distribution. Its most significant effect was observed between the third and seventh tenths of the income distribution. For the top tenths, economy indicators had more considerable weight in determining income.

title: STRUCTURAL HETEROGENEITY: AN ANALYSIS ACCORDING TO SIZE, SECTOR AND AGE OF BRAZILIAN INDUSTRIAL COMPANIES (2007-2016)

description: ABSTRACT Several recent studies show that structural heterogeneity is an important feature of the Brazilian manufacturing sector. This paper carries out a statistical analysis of heterogeneity examining the Brazilian manufacturing structure in terms of firm size, age, and sector of activity, from 2007 to 2016. Our descriptive analysis used datasets extracted from Pesquisa Industrial Anual Empresa (PIA/Empresa) and Cadastro Central de Empresas (CEMPRE), both collected by the IBGE, the Brazilian official statistics bureau. The analysis of the labor productivity indicator shows that structural heterogeneity goes beyond firm size, being likewise significant in terms of firm's age and sector of activity. In addressing the issues of firm size and longevity, our work contributes to discussing the situation of domestic manufacturing sectors in the ongoing deindustrialization of the Brazilian economy.

title: UNEMPLOYMENT AND LABOR FORCE PARTICIPATION IN THE METROPOLITAN AREAS OF PORTO ALEGRE AND SALVADOR

description: ABSTRACT This article aims to investigate the long-term relationships between unemployment and labor force participation in the metropolitan areas of Porto Alegre and Salvador from 1997 to 2014, using Johansen’s cointegration methodology. The research was conducted with data from the Employment and Unemployment Survey - the only in the country that allows working with quarterly time series for these two metropolitan areas throughout the study period. In the metropolitan area of Salvador, both aggregated and gender-segmented data showed long-term relationships between unemployment and labor force participation rate; whereas in the metropolitan area of Porto Alegre, such a relationship was found only for the female segment. Estimates of the cointegration vectors showed a direct relationship between unemployment and labor force participation in both metropolitan areas, denoting the occurrence of the added worker effect.
