Título: Abertura comercial e crescimento econômico: uma análise dos efeitos dos fluxos de comércio internacional sobre o nível de renda dos estados do Brasil Abstract: This paper analyzes the impact of trade openness on economic growth of Brazilian states. Would trade openness of the Brazilian economy, which began in the late 1980s, be responsible for raising the per capita income level of the states? If there was an impact, what is its magnitude? What is the best way to estimate it? How to treat the problem of endogeneity between growth and trade openness? To answer these questions, we undertake an empirical analysis based on dynamic growth regressions, using as a tool the System-GMM estimator. The considered sample covers the 26 states, plus Federal District, for the period from 1989 to 2004. The results showed a positive and significant effect of openness on growth. We also examine the effect of exports on per capita GDP, with both variables divided according to the economic activity sector. In this case, the period is 1989-2009. Exports of industrial products are significant to explain the GDPs by sector (industry, services and agriculture): positively correlated to industry GDP and services GDP and negatively correlated to agricultural GDP. Exports of non-industrial products (related to primary goods) are not significant to explain any sector GDP. Furthermore, case studies of three states - São Paulo, Mato Grosso do Sul and Maranhão - revealed the peculiarities of each one, suggesting that trade liberalization has affected Brazilian states quite differently Tipo: Dissertação

Título: Desenvolvimento do sistema financeiro e crescimento econômico na América Latina Abstract: This paper made a comparative analysis of the impact of the financial system in economic growth in the major economies of Latin America (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru) and members of the G7 (Germany, Canada, France, Italy developed countries, Japan, UK and USA) from the 1970s. The purpose of this analysis was to prove the existence of a non-monotonic relationship between the two main variables, while demonstrating what level the financial system cause negative impact in growth rate in each group of countries Tipo: Dissertação

Título: Sobre a origem do desenvolvimento dos seguros Abstract: This paper assesses the historical determinants, as well as estimates the contribution of law and institutions in determining the development level among countries, of an industry that plays a key role in the workings of a modern society: insurance. Empirical results extracted from a sample of 70 developed and emerging countries, from which 40 former colonies, provide evidence that the legal traditions brought by colonizers (British Common Law and French Civil Code), alongside the mortality rates of first colonial settlers, influenced the formation and the quality of long-lasting institutions, with strong implications for the insurance markets and its different development levels seen today among the various countries Tipo: Dissertação

Título: Desindustrialização prematura na América Latina Abstract: The industry has always played a prominent role in the economic development debate of Latin American countries. However, since the 1980s, the industry has been demonstrating signs that it may be losing space as inducer of this process, indicating a possible movement in the opposite direction. This research verifies the hypothesis of premature deindustrialization in Latin America, considering as a starting point the Coutts & Rowthorn article, which analyzed the same phenomenon in developed countries. This study begins by reviewing the economic literature on the subject, pointing out the major discussions on the theme, along with theoretical aspects related to this topic. An econometric model using panel data of 8 selected Latin American countries was considered, covering the period between 1986 and 2005, to verify the possible existence of this phenomenon. If it is confirmed, we will analyze their causes and conditions. To do so, in the model we will test variables different from those used in the reference work, to capture the peculiarities of the studied region, without losing the robustness and explanatory power of the original study. With this analysis, we intend to contribute in identifying alternatives to overcome the obstacles that still disrupts the Latin American countries from moving forward on the economic development path Tipo: Dissertação
