Fiscal adjustments and sovereign default in different government systems

This paper extends the model of Spolaore (2004) about adjustments in di erent government systems for the context of scal adjustments and sovereign default. We introduce asymmetry between groups in income and preferences towards scal reforms. Default a ects di erently each group and becomes a possibility if reforms are not enacted after public nance solvency shocks, in uencing the political game according to its likelihood. With the extensions, new situations which were not possible with the previous framework arise. After the exposition of the model, the Argentine default in 2001 provides an example of the political con icts addressed by the model.

Timor do século XX : deportação, colonialismo e interações culturais

O presente estudo tem como objectivo desenvolver a História de vida de um conjunto de deportados enviados para Timor na sequência das lutas sociais vividas nos finais da 1ª República e das revoltas reviralhistas contra a imposição da ditadura militar. Data do início do século XVI a chegada dos primeiros missionários portugueses a Timor mas durante séculos a presença portuguesa foi muito ténue, restringindo-se somente a missionários, militares, funcionários da administração e degredados, naturais não só da Metrópole, mas também das restantes Colónias. Dado o contexto, a chegada de um elevado número de homens a Timor teve com certeza um enorme impacto. Através da reconstrução da História de vida de cada um, pretendemos compreender quais foram as consequências disto no que respeita os contextos sociais e traços culturais locais.
