  • Gender and Racial Disparities in the Earnings Effects of Remote Work Before and During the Covid-19 Pandemic

    Open AccessAlexandre Gori Maia, Yao LuARTICLEPopulation Research and Policy…2026

    We investigate differences in the earnings penalty of working from home (WFH) by gender and race, both before and during the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil. We used a large, nationally representative longitudinal dataset with quarterly information from 2018 to 2022. Our fixed-effects estimates showed that while WFH was generally associated with an earnings penalty before the pandemic, such a penalty diminished for men, especially Black and Brown men…

  • Covid-19 emergency cash transfer and pregnancy in Brazil

    Open AccessAlexandre Gori Maia, Leticia Marteleto et al.ARTICLEDemographic Research2026References: 55

    BACKGROUND: Governmental financial assistance programs were widely adopted during COVID-19, but their impacts on women's reproductive behavior remain unknown. OBJECTIVE: This paper evaluates how a key social policy instrument implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic - emergency aid - impacted the probability of pregnancy among young women. We also examine whether the use of effective contraceptive methods helps explain the heterogeneous effects o…

  • Childbearing attitudes amid successive novel infectious disease epidemics

    Open AccessL J Marteleto, M Dondero et al.ARTICLESocial Forces2026References: 64

    Amid novel infectious disease epidemics, societal norms regarding when or whether women should or should not have children are highly prone to change as social life is severely disrupted. We argue that, in periods of exacerbated uncertainty such as during the emerging months of a novel infectious disease pandemic, women use memory of another recent epidemic as an anchor to define how to go about their lives. We combine unique experimental data fr…

  • Who Can Have a Baby? Social Norms and the Right to Reproduce

    Open AccessL J Marteleto, Neha Kumar et al.ARTICLEAmerican Sociological Review2025References: 33

    Childbearing norms and discourse influence social interactions and policy priorities, reflecting and reinforcing social stratification. We propose a theoretical framework that systematically explains stratification and discrimination in childbearing norms. The theory of socially sanctioned reproduction (TSSR) emphasizes how childbearing and reproductive norms are shaped by individual and intersectional attributes of both evaluators and those eval…

  • Food security and pluriactivity in the Brazilian Amazon

    Open AccessGema Galgani Bezerra, Alexandre Gori Maia et al.ARTICLECadernos de Saude Publica2025References: 14

    The number and share of rural households whose members conduct non-agricultural activities has grown rapidly in the Amazon. This article analyzes the differences in food and nutrition security levels between small rural establishments dedicated exclusively to agricultural activities (non-pluriactive) versus those dedicated simultaneously to agricultural and non-agricultural activities (pluriactive) in the Amazon. The research uses data from the f…

  • Segurança alimentar e pluriatividade na Amazônia brasileira

    Open AccessGema Galgani Bezerra, Alexandre Gori Maia et al.ARTICLECadernos de Saude Publica2025References: 14

    O número e a participação de domicílios rurais com membros praticando atividades não agrícolas tem crescido aceleradamente na Amazônia. Este artigo analisa as diferenças nos níveis de segurança alimentar e nutricional entre pequenos estabelecimentos rurais que se dedicam exclusivamente à atividade agrícola (não pluriativos) e aqueles que se dedicam simultaneamente a atividades agrícolas e não agrícolas (pluriativos) na Amazônia. A pesquisa utiliz…

  • The diffusion of agricultural groundwater extraction in São Paulo, Brazil

    Open AccessDaniel Morales Martínez, Alexandre Gori Maia et al.ARTICLERevista Desarrollo y Sociedad2024References: 5

    Agricultural production in Brazil has increasingly relied on groundwater extraction, raising concerns about the sustainability of underground reservoirs. This paper compares the diffusion of the two most common types of wells used to extract groundwater for agriculture in the state of São Paulo, Brazil: conventional (low depth) and tubular (high depth). We use longitudinal municipal-level information and spatial panel models to analyze the two ma…

  • Climate and fertility amid a public health crisis

    L J Marteleto, Alexandre Gori Maia et al.ARTICLEPopulation Studies2023Cited by: 2References: 76

    One line of enquiry in demographic research assesses whether climate affects fertility. We extend this literature by examining the ramifications of climate conditions on fertility over a period of public health crisis in a highly unequal, urban middle-income country. We use monthly data for Brazil's 5,564 municipalities and apply spatial fixed-effects models to account for unobserved municipal heterogeneity and spatial dependence. Findings sugges…

  • Climate resilience programmes and technical efficiency

    Alexandre Gori Maia, Rodrigo Lanna Franco Da Silveira et al.ARTICLEClimate and Development2022

    This paper evaluates the technical efficiency of smallholder dairy farmers assisted by a climate resilience programme in the Brazilian semi-arid region. We use stochastic frontier models applied to a panel with quarterly data for 43 dairy family farmers assisted by the MAIS programme (Módulo Agroclimático Inteligente e Sustentável) between January 2016 and March 2018. Results highlight how the assistance to implement climate-smart production prac…

  • Políticas públicas e mobilidade urbana sustentável

    Open AccessLivia Ferreira Velho Rodrigues, Alexandre Gori Maia et al.ARTICLECadernos Metrópole2022

    A Política Nacional de Mobilidade Urbana motiva os municípios brasileiros a desenvolver uma série de ações a favor dos transportes públicos coletivos e não motorizados, mas ainda são escassos os casos bem-sucedidos de promoção de transporte urbano sustentável no Brasil. Este artigo analisa a experiência de Campinas na promoção do transporte cicloviário, que é comparada com um caso de sucesso no mundo, Groningen (Holanda). As análises baseiam-se e…

  • Public policies and sustainable urban mobility

    Open AccessLivia Ferreira Velho Rodrigues, Alexandre Gori Maia et al.ARTICLECadernos Metrópole2022

    The National Urban Mobility Policy encourages Brazilian cities to develop a series of actions in favor of public and non-motorized transport, but successful cases of promotion of sustainable urban transport are still scarce in Brazil. This article analyzes the experience of Campinas concerning promotion of bicycle transportation, comparing it with a successful international case, namely, the city of Groningen (the Netherlands). The analyses are b…

  • Migration and Democratization in Brazil

    Open AccessAlexandre Gori Maia, Yao LuARTICLEDemography2021Cited by: 2References: 53

    Deepening democratization in Brazil has coincided with sustained flows of domestic migration, which raises an important question of whether migration deepens or depresses democratic development in migrant-sending regions. Whereas earlier perspectives have viewed migration as a political “brain drain,” we contend that out-migration can generate resources that promote democratic processes back home. We investigate the role of migration in two aspec…

  • Rural development and the expansion of non-agricultural activities in the Brazilian Amazon

    Open AccessFrancisco Diétima Da Silva Bezerra, Carlos Alves Do Nascimento et al.ARTICLERevista de Economia e Sociologia…2021References: 16

    This paper analyzes the employment and income dynamics of rural families in Brazil's North Region, the main representative of the Brazilian Amazon. We use information from the National Household Sample Survey between 2004 and 2015 to create a typology of families based on the members' occupation in agricultural and non-agricultural activities. We hypothesize that the recent increase in employment and income was strongly associated with non-agricu…

    We analyze the main reasons for the transport mode choice (private vehicle, public transportation, bicycle, walking, and others) among university students in Campinas. Analyses are based on primary data collected from 1,179 students through online and personal interviews in the second semester of 2014. Multiple Correspondence Analysis and Cluster Analysis are jointly used to identify common choice groups. Public transport prevails among low-incom…

  • How Employment Shapes Income Inequality

    Open AccessAlexandre Gori Maia, Arthur Sakamoto et al.ARTICLERevista de Economia Contemporânea2019

    In this study, we analyze the relationship between the development of occupational structure and income inequality in Brazil and the U.S. While both Brazil and the U.S. face high levels of inequality, low socioeconomic development in Brazil notably reduces the proportion of total income that accrues in the bottom two quintiles of the income distribution. In the U.S., inequality is mostly due to unobserved differences within occupations and has gr…
