Expansion of the Brazilian Sugarcane Bioenergy System Promotes Greenhouse Emission Reductions and Sustainable Development Without Compromising Food Security
The growing global demand for biofuels has raised concern about compromising food security. This study uses two independent economy‐wide models to evaluate the impact of expanding the Brazilian sugarcane bioenergy system on economic growth, social outcomes and food security. Our analysis finds that increasing Brazilian sugarcane ethanol production by 37% over the 2024/2025 harvest has slightly positive impacts on food security, with marginal but …
Violence, Spatial Effects, and Education
Growth of Lethal Violence in Brazil 2000–2017
This study investigates the space-temporal growth of homicide rates in Brazil from 2000 to 2017 and identifies determinants of the country’s growth of homicide rates. Data from the Brazilian Information System on Mortality and Censuses are used to estimate growth models combined with spatial statistics and Geographical Information Systems (GIS). Findings show evidence of change in the geographical distribution of lethal violence over time, charac…
The Commodification of Security in Brazil
This study aims to assess the determinants of using safety devices in Brazilian households, taking into account different urban–rural country contexts and income distribution. Probit models are estimated using microdata from the 2009 Brazilian National Household Sampling Survey. On average, less than half of the underprivileged population adopts safety devices, whereas almost double as many do so among the wealthy. Findings also indicate an inver…
Evolution of child labor rate in Brazilian states
This study descriptively explores the evolution of child labor rates in Brazilian states from 2000 to 2014 and indicates specific limits and contradictions of governmental measures adopted for its reduction. On one hand, we examine the coverage of the Bolsa Família conditional cash transfer (PBF), which is a transversal program to reduce poverty. On the other hand, we examine the design of Labor Inspections with a focus on child labor. For this, …
The role of social capital in the victimization risk against property
The economic model of crime presupposes that individuals evaluate the decision to commit a crime rationally. A more inclusive version of this model would include social capital as a factor influencing criminal activity. The amount of social capital that exists within a group can be used to explain criminal behavior, and an increase in the level of social capital can be a factor capable of preventing crime. This study tests the hypothesis that inc…
Crime and victimization in rural Brazil
This chapter focuses on homicides and on comparative differences in rates and trends in Brazil&s;s rural and urban sectors. The definition of rural areas that was used as the basis for this statement, should be highlighted. The place of occurrence of a crime should at least be one of the aspects considered in the economic analysis of crime. However, it is very important to take structural-level factors into account in rural victimization models a…
