Of Cities and Slums
The emergence of slums is a common feature in a country's path towards urbanization, structural transformation and development. Based on salient micro and macro evidence of Brazilian labor, housing and education markets, we construct a simple model to examine the conditions for slums to emerge. We then use the model to examine whether slums are barriers or stepping stones for lower skilled households and for the development of the country as a wh…
Education Quality and Returns to Schooling
We provide a new education quality index for states within a developing country using 2010 Brazilian data. This measure is constructed based on the notion that the financial returns obtained from an additional year of schooling can be seen as being derived from the value that market forces assign to this education. We use migrant data to estimate returns to schooling of individuals who studied in different states but work in the same labor market…
The Long-Term Effects of Conditional Cash Transfers on Child Labor and School Enrollment
This paper investigates the long-term effects of conditional cash transfers on school attainment and child labor. To this end, we construct a dynamic heterogeneous agent model, calibrate it with Brazilian data, and introduce a policy similar to the Brazilian Bolsa Família . Our results suggest that this type of policy has a very strong impact on educational outcomes, sharply increasing primary school completion. The conditional transfer is also a…
Desvalorização, Crescimento e a Relação entre Poupança Doméstica e Câmbio
A Note on Growth, Welfare and Public Policy
ln this note the growth and welfare effects of fiscal and monetary policies are investigated in four economies where public investment is part of the productive process. It is shown that growth is maximized at positive levels of income tax and inflation but that there is no direct relationship between government size, productivity and growth or between inflation and growth. However, unless there are no transfers, no political conflict or public g…
Inequality and Unemployment in Europe
What is the relationship between inequality and unemployment? This question is perhaps the most important issue in the political economy of Europe, and it has relevance for other regions with developing transnational ties, including the United States and the North American region
Perspectivas de longo prazo da economia brasileira
Este artigo utiliza a estrutura da Teoria do Crescimento Endógeno para examinar as perspectivas de longo prazo da economia brasileira. Estudamos o comportamento dessas variáveis identificadas pela teoria como centrais para o desenvolvimento. O artigo argumenta que o desempenho do sistema educacional brasileiro é ruim, mesmo para os padrões da América Latina. Ainda existem muitas restrições de mercado e outras barreiras ao comércio e à adoção de t…
Crescimento econômico, retornos crescentes e concorrência monopolista
Neste artigo, investigamos as deficiências teóricas dos modelos tradicionais de crescimento neoclássico e como a nova literatura de crescimento endógeno surgiu para superar essas deficiências. Estudamos as razões teóricas da hipótese nos modelos tradicionais - alguns deles necessários para a existência de equilíbrio - que implicaram resultados empíricos contra-factuais, como convergência. Investigaremos como essas hipóteses foram relaxadas ou sub…
