Tramas em complexidade
A história do primeiro console da Sony, o Playstation, esteve envolta nos mais diversos tipos de situações imagináveis. Tramas e narrativas complexas, através de sonhadas parcerias com diversos atores da indústria mundial de videogames que, por fim, foram negadas por receio, dúvida e desdém. As adversidades encontradas nesta história serviram de combustível para o console da multinacional nipônica não tão somente pudesse ver a luz do dia, como ac…
Social expenditure composition and inequality
This paper studies the relationship between inequality and public social spending for an overall sample of 28 OECD countries spanning 1997 to 2017. We add to the literature by dissecting social expenditure according to nine programs and allowing for the existence of a non-linear relation in the context of a dynamic panel threshold model. The analysis reveals a positive contribution of old-age pensions to the Gini index of disposable income distri…
Social expenditure composition, welfare models and standards of living across the OECD
Do comprehensive welfare state arrangements increase standards of living? The pandemic has called for and made more admissible bigger governments but the contention not long ago was that the welfare state undermines productivity and efficiency and in this way standards of living. In this study we investigate whether the totality and specific components of the welfare state result in higher standards of living in a sample of thirty-four OECD count…
The Financialization of Health and Education and Inequality in Twenty-first Century Brazil
Brazil is often cited for its high levels of inequality. Despite some success in reducing this inequality during the Partido dos Trabalhadores (Workers' Party-PT) period, the rise of Jair Bolsonaro as Brazil's president threatened to reverse this trend as he actively sought to promote policies that would lead to greater financialization of the Brazilian economy. In recent years, several studies have shown that the financialization of the economy …
Inequality and growth in Portugal
This paper investigates the inequality‐growth nexus for Portugal over the period 1986–2017. Portugal is a country that has recorded a decelerating growth trajectory together with high levels of inequality, coupled with relatively low levels of human capital and productivity. We compute different measures of earnings inequality using microdata from the Quadros de Pessoal database and use them to estimate VAR and SVAR A‐B models with four variables…
Human Capital Disparities and Earnings Inequality in The Portuguese Private Labour Market
This paper examines human capital inequality and how it relates to earnings inequality in Portugal using data from Quadros de Pessoal for the period 1986-2017. The objective is threefold: (i) show how the distribution of human capital has evolved over time; (ii) investigate the association between human capital inequality and earnings inequality; and (iii) analyse the role of returns to schooling, together with human capital inequality, in the ex…
Globalisation, Welfare Models and Social Expenditure in OECD Countries
Dimensions of globalisation and social welfare policies in Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development countries
Which dimensions of globalisation have an impact on social expenditure? How do different social welfare policies react to globalisation? This paper addresses these questions focusing on 36 Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development countries over the period 1990–2015 and applying system Generalised Method of Moments to deal with endogeneity. We consider different dimensions of globalisation, economic, social and political, and their p…
A história não ensinada
Essa análise tem como objetivo observar o conhecimento existente entre os docentes, discentes e servidores da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (Campus Praia Vermelha) no que diz respeito ao passado do local onde os mesmos atuam. Esta investigação ancora-se no pressuposto de que esse conhecimento não é passado de geração a geração pelos professores e alunos. Volta-se, ainda, à aplicabilidade e à real função social da perpetuação desse saber,…
