Modelagem do uso da Terra e Efeitos de Mudanças na Produtividade Agrícola entre 2008 e 2015
January 5, 2019

O artigo apresenta os resultados dos efeitos sistêmicos da mudança no padrão da produtividade agrícola entre 2008 e 2015. Para isso foi utilizado um modelo de equilíbrio geral computável (EGC) com especificação detalhada do uso da terra. Tal análise representa avanços no sentido de contribuir tanto para a modelagem econômica com uso da terra quanto na investigação dos impactos econômicos sistêmicos da mudança no padrão espacial da produtividade agrícola no Brasil. Os resultados indicaram que essa mudança teve efeitos positivos sobre o PIB real nacional e da maioria dos estados, contribuindo também para a redução das disparidades regionais.

    The spike in US bond yields since mid-April in tandem with the strengthening of the dollar sparked a retrenchment of capital flows to emerging markets (EM), accompanied by a sell-off of assets in some cases. Argentina and Turkey suffered from strong and potentially disruptive exchange rate depreciation pressures in May, with financial markets calming down only after bold domestic policy moves (interest rate hikes in both countries and, in the case of Argentina, a decision to seek a ...

    Destination-based business cash-flow taxes have received a great deal of attention and are being widely considered as a replacement for traditional, origin-based, corporate taxes. These taxes combine the strong revenue-raising ability of a VAT with an enormously expensive tax deduction for wages. They would certainly be attractive to foreign investors by eliminating the burden of current corporate taxes. However, adopting them at the rates typically discussed would raise consumer pr ...

    Brazilian conditional cash transfers are small amounts of money the government distributes directly to very poor households on condition that their children attend school and are vaccinated. The money goes to the women of the household, because research undertaken in the 1990s – and later confirmed in other countries – showed an increase in babies' height and weight when women have more control over household income. Greater control over household resources by women can strengthen a ...

    O presente artigo apresenta o processo de estimação de um sistema inter-regional de insumo-produto para os 26 estados brasileiros e o Distrito Federal em condições de informação limitada, utilizando o método IIOAS. O IIOAS é consistente com a matriz de insumo-produto nacional e pode ser construído para qualquer país que publique suas TRUs e possua um sistema de informações setoriais regionalizadas. Posteriormente, analisaram-se as relações comerciais e as estruturas produtivas de ca ...

    Este documento presenta un breve resumen de los principales aspectos asociados a la construcción de una matriz de insumoproducto interregional para Colombia. Los resultados sugieren que hay unas diferencias importantes en las regiones colombianas. También sobresale la importancia de la proximidad geográfica en los efectos de cambios en la demanda final sobre el producto de otras regiones. Esto resalta el papel del espacio y las distancias en las disparidades regionales. ...

    The spatial mismatch hypothesis states that a lack of connection to job opportunities may affect an individual’s prospects in the labour market, especially for low-skilled workers. This phenomenon is especially observed in large urban areas, in which low-skilled minorities tend to live far away from jobs and face geographical barriers to finding and keeping jobs. This paper aims to investigate whether this negative relationship between spatial mismatch and labour market outcomes is ...

The world is currently facing enormous changes whose outcomes are unpredictable. From a revival in the cold war realist dispute of power between the United States and Russia, the collapse of International Law in relation to Ukraine, Crimea and the South China Sea, BREXIT and the imponderable results that may impact the European Union and to the possible d ...

    One major policy issue in Brazil is how to boost productivity, while following a path of fiscal consolidation that will take at least a decade to bring the public-debt-to-GDP ratio back to 2000 levels (Canuto, 2016a). The productivityboosting agenda includes not only the implementation of a full range of structural reforms, but also recovering and upgrading the national infrastructure and other long-term investments. Given that fiscal consolidation has already been leading to less t ...
