title: Incidence and time trend of occupational accidents in the textile and clothing industry: analysis of Santa Catarina, Brazil, between 2008 and 2017

description: ABSTRACT: Objective: To estimate the incidence and time trend of typical work accidents in the textile and clothing industry in Santa Catarina from 2008 to 2017. Methods: This was a retrospective epidemiological study based on data from the Annual Social Information Report (RAIS). The time trend was analyzed by calculating the average annual change and logistic regression. Results: There was a downward trend in the incidence of occupational accidents in Santa Catarina during the period studied (8.8%). The highest incidence occurred in 2008 among men (12.6%), workers aged between 40 and 49 years (6.7%), black people (7.4%), people with less than 12 years of education (5.0%), with an average income of 3 to 7 minimum wages (7.0%), with up to 4 years of employment (6.9%), workers in the manufacture of textile products (10, 3%), medium-sized establishments (that is, between 100 and 499 workers; 7.9%) and in the regions of Greater Florianópolis (7.0%) and Vale do Itajaí (6.8%). Conclusions: The risk for typical occupational accidents dropped significantly over the period studied. However, future studies are needed to analyze new relationships that may point to other associated factors. It is hoped that this study can contribute to support measures for the prevention, promotion, protection and rehabilitation of the health of workers in this production sector.

title: Prostate Cancer Survival and Mortality according to a 13-year retrospective cohort study in Brazil: Competing-Risk Analysis

description: ABSTRACT: Objective: To analyze cancer-specific mortality (CSM) and other-cause mortality (OCM) among patients with prostate cancer that initiated treatment in the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS), between 2002 and 2010, in Brazil. Methods: Retrospective observational study that used the National Oncological Database, which was developed by record-linkage techniques used to integrate data from SUS Information Systems, namely: Outpatient (SIA-SUS), Hospital (SIH-SUS), and Mortality (SIM-SUS). Cancer-specific and other-cause survival probabilities were estimated by the time elapsed between the date of the first treatment until the patients’ deaths or the end of the study, from 2002 until 2015. The Fine-Gray model for competing risk was used to estimate factors associated with patients’ risk of death. Results: Of the 112,856 studied patients, the average age was 70.5 years, 21% died due to prostate cancer, and 25% due to other causes. Specific survival in 160 months was 75%, and other-cause survival was 67%. For CSM, the main factors associated with patients’ risk of death were: stage IV (AHR = 2.91; 95%CI 2.73 - 3.11), systemic treatment (AHR = 2.10; 95%CI 2.00 - 2.22), and combined surgery (AHR = 2.30, 95%CI 2.18 - 2.42). As for OCM, the main factors associated with patients’ risk of death were age and comorbidities. Conclusion: The analyzed patients with prostate cancer were older and died mainly from other causes, probably due to the presence of comorbidities associated with the tumor.

title: Tendency of use and sources for obtaining oral antidiabetic drugs for treatment of diabetes in Brazil from 2012 to 2018: analysis of the Vigitel survey

description: ABSTRACT: Objective: To estimate the prevalence of use of oral medications for the treatment of diabetes, as well as the distribution of sources for obtaining according to sociodemographic variables, in the Brazilian states’ capitals and in the Federal District, and their evolution from 2012 to 2018. Methods: Cross-sectional and population-based study with individuals aged ≥ 20 years who reported a medical diagnosis of diabetes, interviewed through Vigitel from 2012 to 2018. We estimated the prevalence of use and the distribution of sources for obtaining according to sociodemographic variables (95%CI). We checked differences among proportions using the Pearson’s χ2 test (Rao-Scott), with a significance level of 5%. Results: There was an increase in the prevalence of use of oral medications for the treatment of diabetes from 77.4 to 85.2% between 2012 and 2018, and a decrease in obtaining in the Health Unit Pharmacies of the Unified Health System (SUS), while there was an increase in obtaining in Popular Pharmacies. Conclusions: In Brazil, SUS remained the main source for obtaining oral antidiabetic drugs, financing more than 70% of them in the country, considering the Health Unit Pharmacies and Popular Pharmacies, thereby showing the importance of public Pharmaceutical Policies in guaranteeing the access to medications by the Brazilian population, as well as in reducing inequities in the country. Nevertheless, the migration of obtaining by users from SUS Health Units to Popular Pharmacies suggests the weakening the responsibility of Primary Health Care in the provision oral antidiabetic drugs, thereby undermining the bond and the longitudinal care.

title: Export conditions and formal employment in brazilian manufacturing industries in the period 2003-2008

description: The rearrangement of Brazil's production base took place after the 1990s, in a period of an open economy and greater international insertion of the Brazilian industry, on the one hand, and of greater exposure to international competition, often under unfavourable conditions, on the other. This study examines to which extent economic determinants affected job creation in manufacturing industries according to the degree of international insertion of the firms. It aims to determine whether the internationalization of Brazilian firms is associated to more favourable occupational profiles in terms of qualification and job stability. Results confirm that the continued growth trend associated with external insertion is a relevant propeller to a greater qualification of the workforce.

title: CONSUMPTION PATTERN AND ENVIRONMENTAL PRESSURE IN BRAZIL

description: This paper examines the connections between household consumption and environmental pressure in Brazil. The aim is to investigate how increased consumption of Brazilian families in the last two decades has changed the environmental pressure of the economic system. The method chosen was the structural decomposition analysis associated with the Household Budget Surveys. Environmental pressure increased during the period considered. Excluding the effects of Land Use Change and Forestry, the emission level keeps rising with the increased production and consumption. The composition effect decreased emissions of consumption, mostly due to the agricultural sector; this reduction was overcome by the scale effect.

title: The effects of monetary policy on brazilian product: empirical evidence using signs restrictions

description: This study aims to examine the effects of monetary policy shocks on quarterly GDP and monthly industrial production in Brazil, from 1995 to 2010. The method employed was Vectors Autoregression (VAR), as proposed by Uhlig (2005), which allows the dynamics of GDP and industrial production to freely adjust to the remaining variables' sign restrictions. The results show that shocks to the monetary policy variable produce effects of greater intensity when compared to previous studies. The historical variance decomposition shows that shocks have kept GDP below its trend during the period 1996-2002, whereas in the case of industrial product, this pattern occurs throughout the entire studying period.

title: Types of commodities, exchange rate and economic growth: evidences from natural resource curse for Brazil

description: The natural resource curse literature argues that commodities exports promote lower economic growth rates. This paper suggests that this result depends on the type of commodity analyzed. This paper uses Vector Autoregressive and Impulse Response Functions to investigate the existence of negative effects between food, raw materials, minerals and energy exports on Brazilian economic growth and real exchange rate, based in period 2000-2011. The results indicate some evidence of the natural resources curse in Brazil, since food, raw materials and minerals contribute to explain the lower rates of economic growth and exchange rate appreciation. However, such evidence is weak because they occur with some lag and have short duration.

title: The diversification of the productive structure in Brazil: preliminary remarks

description: ABSTRACT This study aims to examine the extent of diversification of production operations in Brazil, of 2006-2010. In 2007, IBGE started adopting version 2.0 of the CNAE, disseminating new statistical information of active units, in especially relating to derived variables "non-diversified company" and "diversified company". It is concluded that most companies in the country has a low level of diversification; most Brazilian companies is "specialized" in their basic economic activities (single local unit). Businesses operating with "more of a local unit", almost two thirds of them are classified as "non-diversified companies", in 2010. As regards the "diversified companies", it is observed that the larger the size, greater has been the diversification, but there is, in general, companies of all sizes have been keen to expand more through "diversification of activity and mixed", and less through "spatial diversification". Considering diversification by sector of economic activity, construction companies and manufacturing industry have achieved higher levels of diversification, in 2010.In general, different sectors have different characteristics with respect to the type of diversification and size of the companies.

title: FROM EXTERNAL STRANGULATION TO MORATORIUM: THE BRAZILIAN NEGOTIATION WITH IMF IN FIGUEIREDO'S ADMINISTRATION (1979-1985)

description: ABSTRACT External indebtedness process adopted in the 1970s was directly associated with borrowing of the II PND. The need for legitimacy of discretionary regime compelled the government to enter the Brazilian economy recklessly in the international financial system. After the second oil shock in 1979, the economic policy of technocracy came down to manage the balance of payments crisis. It was established, then, a long and hesitant negotiation with the IMF and international creditors, whose differences entailed tried the declaration of moratorium on foreign debt years later.

title: MOBILITY, ACCESSIBILITY AND PRODUCTIVITY: A NOTE ON THE ECONOMIC VALUATION OF TRAVEL TIME IN GREATER SÃO PAULO

description: Abstract The purpose of this paper is to introduce into the debate on valuation of urban workers travel time an alternative view that integrates some of their transmission channels to the economy. The relationship between commuting time, mobility and productivity is explored, along with the ability to capture higher order (general equilibrium) effects in a spatial economic system. The proposed method is applied to the case of the São Paulo Metropolitan Region (SPMR). In addition to offering additional parameters for economic assessment of urban mobility projects in the SPMR, we calculate the economic losses associated with excessive mobility frictions in the region.
