In this short article, it is analyzed as to whether financial flows and credit concessions explain the behavior of investment in the Brazilian economy during the 2008 crisis. Beyond the importance of demand, changes in expectations seem to be an important source of instability in investment and, as a consequence, in the economy.Teorias do comércio internacional: um debate sobre a relação entre crescimento econômico e inserção externa10.1590/S0101-315720120002000042024-03-01T20:17:21.050000Z2020-08-09T06:48:19.917000ZMoreira, Uallace

The main objective of the paper is to assess the impact of fiscal variables on private investment comparing some Latin-American economies to other advanced ones. For such purposes, the authors carry out an econometric analysis for the period 1990-2008. They make use of two dynamic panel models in which they group countries with similar characteristics and development levels. In one of them, they include Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Uruguay; whereas in the second one the countries accounted for are the U.S., Canada, Spain, Korea, Ireland and Japan. They specify in both models an investment function using as arguments a wide range of variables, including those related with fiscal policy. From their results the authors infer that governments can, with higher spending, boost up the economy even when they finance spending with higher taxes. In Latin America, where income concentration is enormous, a proposal to boost up the economy through higher government expenditure financed with a progressive income tax, is even more justified.A gerência recente do endividamento público brasileiro10.1590/S0101-315720120002000072024-03-01T20:17:21.050000Z2020-08-09T06:48:19.917000ZCunha, Pedro Maia daGarcia, Márcio G.

Corruption, income, and rule of law: empirical evidence from developing and developed economies10.1590/S0101-315720120002000092024-03-01T20:17:21.050000Z2020-08-09T06:48:19.917000ZMendonça, Helder Ferreira deFonseca, André Oliveira da

This article presents an empirical analysis based on cross-country data concerned with two points regarding corruption: (i) its effects on income; and (ii) how to mitigate corruption. The findings can be highlighted in two points. Firstly the idea that corruption is intrinsically connected with income is confirmed. Secondly, the traditional argument that an increase in rule of law represents a good strategy in the fight against corruption is valid for developing countries. Furthermore, this study reveals that the search for increasing the human development index represents a rule of thumb for high levels of income and to control corruption.As fases históricas do debate sobre a transformação dos valores em preços de produção10.1590/S0101-315720120002000102024-03-01T20:17:21.050000Z2020-08-09T06:48:19.917000ZLopes, Tiago Camarinha
