Because public policies are frequently implemented simultaneously rather than in isolation, we also estimate the impacts of-and possible synergies with-the Brazilian conditional cash transfer (CCT) program Bolsa Família.

Total credit subsidies exceeded US$ 40 billion in this period. The distribution across crops is studied econometrically.

Although the economic crisis caused policy to be redesigned, the change in political regime and in the institutions of interest-group representat…
