title: Macroeconomic determinants of investment in Brazil: an empirical analysis for the period 1996-2012

description: ABSTRACT This paper aims at analysing the macroeconomic determinants of the aggregate private investment in the Brazilian economy from 1996 to 2012. The paper presents the main investment theories, contrasting neoclassical and Keynesian models, reviews the previous empirical literature and provides potentially new evidence on the topic. Our results suggest that the variables usually associated with Keynesian models, such as credit, demand and expectations, have better explained the private investment dynamic in Brazil. Finally, we have also explored relationships between our results and the contemporary debate on Brazil's economic growth performance.

title: Employment structural decomposition in manufacturing industries between 2000-2009

description: ABSTRACT The aim of this article is to analyze the employment variation in manufacturing industries between years 2000-2009 in Brazil. It employs an input-output methodology, by means of employment structural decomposition into intensity, technology, demand, growth and total effects. The main results showed that in the period Brazilian manufacturing sectors added up 4.38 million jobs, which represented 25% of total jobs created in the country. Among the studied effects, growth and intensity shall be highlighted as the main responsible outcomes. Considering total impacts, the industries that showed greater relative increase in jobs where: food and beverage, clothes and construction. The results lead to the conclusion that, in the studied period, manufacturing in Brazil showed an increase in employment rates, with technology, despite not being the lone factor, having produced a positive impact in job creation.

title: Characteristics and similarities of cultural industries in brazilian cities and metropolitan regions

description: ABSTRACT The promotion of regional policies aimed at developing a particular industry requires, at first, a characterization and description from a regional point of view. Thus, this paper contributes towards offering a classification of the formal market of art and culture in the 5,570 Brazilian municipalities. For this, two complementary methodologies have been applied, namely: i) cluster analysis, and ii) shift-share analysis. It is believed that, based on this characterization, further studies can be developed to propose regional policies that strengthen the art and culture industries.

title: Inflation in industrial sector of the brazilian economy between 1996 and 2011: a disaggregated analysis

description: ABSTRACT This paper reports an empirical research on the dynamics of inflation of seventeen industrial sectors of the Brazilian economy between 1996 and 2011. From a theoretical discussion of the relationship between inflation and aggregate demand in traditional economic approaches (the New Consensus Model), Post-Keynesian and Distributive Conflict, we sought evidence of excess demand inflation and cost pressures in these sectors. The time series used were the Producer Price Index for Comprehensive Source (IPA-OG), the degree of Installed Capacity Utilization (both from FGV), the International Commodities Index (IFS/IMF), the interest rate and the nominal exchange rate (both from Brazilian Central Bank - BCB). The methodology was based on ADL Model (Autoregressive Distributed Lags). The results pointed to the absence of a strong and systematic relationship between inflation and aggregate demand, and to evidences of cost pressures, particularly international prices and the exchange of commodities as determinants of inflation dynamics of the sectors and period analyzed.

title: IN SEARCH OF LOST TIME: AN ESTIMATE OF THE PRODUCTION LOSSES IN TRAFFIC CONGESTION IN BRAZIL

description: Abstract: This article estimates economic losses associated with urban mobility problems in Brazil by calculating the average production loss due to commuting time to work, using data from the 2010 Demographic Census. The results are presented in absolute and relative values (% of GDP) for States, Metropolitan Regions (RMs) and municipalities in Brazil, with emphasis on the difference in time spent in RMs and municipalities and the interior of each state. The results were significant, and the total estimated loss is 1.8% of GDP. If the commuting time in the RMs were equal to those of municipalities in the interior, there would be a reduction of 27.6% (R$ 26.7 billion) of total losses, suggesting that improvements in urban mobility can bring great social returns.

title: FISCAL POLICY IN PERSPECTIVE: THE 16-YEAR CYCLE (1999-2014)

description: ABSTRACT This paper contributes to the debate over fiscal regime changes in Brazil, better characterizing the cycle of contraction and expansion of fiscal policy between 1999 and 2014.Firstly, the paper presents an analysis based on detailed statistics about primary budget balance that incorporate regional level of government in order to provide a better understanding of the recent expansionary fiscal policy in Brazil (2010-2014). It identifies not only the main determinants in terms of revenues and expenditures but also those related to local and state governments. Additionally, several indicators were used to better characterize that fiscal expansion compared to previous periods and, finally, the paper analyzes the sustainability of public spending trajectory under different scenarios.

title: THE EVOLUTION OF COMMUTING TIME IN METROPOLITAN BRAZIL BETWEEN 1992 AND 2013

description: ABSTRACT The commuting time has risen substantially at metropolitan areas in Brazil over the last decade. This phenomenon has strong implications on the well-being of individuals, on the labor supply patterns and on regional urban development. However, the consequences of this problem are unevenly distributed among the population. This paper aims to contribute to the debate of urban mobility issue in Brazilian cities by analyzing the commuting time evolution between 1992 and 2013 and their differences according to the workers own characteristics, such as gender, race, income, and job. The average commuting time raised since 2003, featuring a particularly important issue for Brazilian metropolises in the second millennium. Workers with higher average commuting times reside in the metropolitan areas of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. However, the highest growth rates occurred in the metropolitan areas of Pará, Salvador and Recife, suggesting the need for better-targeted and planned urban mobility public policies. Considering the socioeconomic differences, the poorest and the richest (extremes of the income distribution) tend to have lower commuting times than the general population. This pattern is maintained over time, with higher average commuting time between the poorest, showing a face of inequality. However, the travel time of the richest grew more than among the poorest, which raises the question of urban mobility beyond the problems of social exclusion.

title: ANALYSIS OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SHORT AND LONG TERMS MONETARY AND FISCAL POLICY WITH ECONOMIC GROWTH IN BRAZIL: APPLICATION OF MODELS VEC

description: Abstract This paper aims to assess the relationship between short and long term monetary and fiscal policies, on the one hand, and economic growth in Brazil in recent years, on the other, after the implementation of inflation targeting system. This research question is justified to the extent that the recent macroeconomic imbalances lived in Brazil can be explained by the lack of coordination between monetary and fiscal policies. This study investigates the relationship between long-term equilibrium and the methodology of different vector error correction (VEC). The results illustrate the importance of monetary and fiscal policies as explanatory variables for the variations in the Brazilian GDP in the long term.

title: Critical barriers to sustainable capacity strengthening in global health: A systems perspective on development assistance

description: These qualitative datasets are associated with work done under the Inter-agency Working Group for Capacity Strengthening initiative. The data was captured via Miro - a digital whiteboarding tool - using an innovative co-creation process called Systems Acupuncture and details the nine systemic barriers impeding a better, more sustainable country-driven model for capacity strengthening. The data was captured over a series of stakeholder workshops and discussion sessions, and synthesized into nine "system syndrome" maps. The maps illustrate the multi-dimensional causal relationships between individual system drivers and display feedback loops (i.e., sets of drivers that reinforce each other) within and between the system syndrome maps. The two pending manuscripts, both submitted to Gates Open Research, this data is associated with are: Critical barriers to sustainable capacity strengthening in global health: A systems perspective on development assistance Exploring system drivers of gender inequity in development assistance for health and opportunities for action

title: IMPACT OF RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT INVESTMENTS ON Firm's PERFORMANCE

description: ABSTRACT This study examined the impact of innovative efforts, measured by investment in Research and Development, on sales growth, taking into account different "degrees of proximity" to the frontier. To test the hypothesis, we built a regression model with multilevel data to assess financial data of 1,500 firms from year 2012. We estimated the Total Factor Productivity of each firm and built an index of proximity to the frontier (firm with higher productivity). The results show that firms closer to the frontier employ R&D resources more efficiently, as their growth estimates are higher than those of firms situated further behind the frontier.

title: INFLATION TARGETING REGIME: COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS AND EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE FOR SELECTED EMERGING COUNTRIES

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this paper is to analyze the inflation targeting regime (ITR) in Brazil in the light of the experiences of other selected emerging countries, namely: South Africa, Chile, Colombia, South Korea and Mexico. To that end, there is an exposition of the contexts in which ITR was adopted in the selected countries, as well as a comparison between the arrangements of these regimes, to distinguish its main features. Lastly, an autoregressive model is estimated with vector error correction (VEC) for each country in the sample, in order to set the conditions for an analysis of the efficiency of ITR in these economies. The empirical results of the research suggest that the most flexible inflation targeting regimes (South Africa, Chile, Colombia, South Korea) are relatively more efficient in terms of curbing inflation than more rigid regimes (Brazil and Mexico).

title: COMMODITY CURRENCIES: A REAL PHENOMENON IN BRAZIL?

description: ABSTRACT This work aims to investigate the role that the Brazilian currency, Real, may play on the commodity currencies model. The evidences show a significant correlation between the trajectory followed by Real in the last decade and the commodity currencies scheme, where the country's exchange rate tends to follow the evolution of the international commodity prices, understand as a group of products mainly originating from agricultural and mineral sectors.
