Desde o início dos anos oitenta, o governo federal brasileiro passou a substituir a receitas de impostos tradicionais por receita de contribuições sociais (cumulativas) na composição da sua receita total (mudança de gestão). Alega-se que este procedimento é uma conseqüência das regras de compartilhamento estabelecidas (receitas de impostos do governo federal são compartilhadas com estados e municípios enquanto que receitas de contribuição não o são).Existem argumentos na literatura mostrando que este processo de descentralização das receitas teve sua origem na mudança de regime político (militar para democrático), outros com a nova Constituição de 1988 e, por último, outros afirmando que ele só foi possível porque a ineficiência das contribuições foi encoberta pela ineficiência alocativa da inflação. Por outro lado, fatos ocorridos no mesmo período, embora não citados na literatura, poderiam explicar ou ajudar na explicação deste comportamento. Entre eles, a fragmentação do poder executivo a partir de 1989 com a primeira eleição presidencial e/ou o processo de abertura da economia a partir dos anos noventa. Usando a técnica de OLS, observou-se que a Nova Constituição e a abertura da economia explicariam esta mudança de gestão. De qualquer forma, independente do que esteja explicando esta mudança, ela é apontada como altamente prejudicial a competitividade das exportações brasileiras. Existem várias proxies tentando medir este efeito, nenhuma delas considerando uma medida de gestão. Resolvemos realizar esta tentativa. Como tínhamos desconfiança da exogeneidade da variável representativa da abertura da economia no teste anterior, tratamos a questão com o instrumental de séries de tempo. No longo prazo, descobrimos que a mudança de gestão afeta negativamente as exportações e positivamente a abertura da economia por ser menos punitiva com as importações em termos de competitividade (as contribuições incidem apenas na comercialização dos produtos importados).

As mudanças tributárias realizadas na última década priorizaram o ajuste fiscal com uma elevação da carga de impostos que saltou de 27% do PIB, em 1994, para cerca de 36% do PIB, em 2003. Esse aumento da carga tributária esteve associado principalmente ao aumento das contribuições sociais cumulativas. Além dessa crescente cumulatividade, outras características que têm marcado o sistema tributário brasileiro são a complexidade e os conflitos federativos que alimentam uma profunda guerra fiscal entre Estados e municípios. Em abril de 2003, o Governo Lula encaminhou ao Congresso Nacional uma ampla proposta de reforma tributária, tendo como objetivos principais (i) simplificar o sistema tributário brasileiro, (ii) reduzir a cumulatividade dos tributos e (iii) acabar com a guerra fiscal. Apesar do reconhecimento generalizado de que a carga tributária brasileira é excessivamente elevada, o governo federal limitou-se a assumir o compromisso de não promover aumentos adicionais de impostos. Inserido nesse contexto, este estudo analisa (i) o quadro fiscal brasileiro, procurando identificar as reais restrições que impedem a redução da carga tributária brasileira e (ii) as medidas tributárias propostas pelo Governo Lula, destacando suas implicações sobre o desenvolvimento econômico brasileiro.

O trabalho examina alguns modelos de integração de arrecadação de tributos e concessão de benefícios (elaborados por Richard Musgrave e James Meade) e aplica-os à realidade brasileira. A principal conclusão é que os esquemas de renda básica são impraticáveis devido a alta alíquota exigida, restando a opção de trabalharmos com esquemas de renda mínima parcial.

This work aims to identify the impacts brought about by legislation alterations regarding assets allocation by Pension Funds Companies. Focused on that, this work carried on a detailed review on the existing literature concerning Modern Portfolio Theory, Pension Funds Investment Strategies and on Brazilian Legislation for Financial Market and Pension Funds. On a second moment, the work identified asset allocation differences when comparing national financial market players and the data released by the official Social Security Secretary - SPC - regarding the 35 Pension Funds analyzed. In accordance with what the literature indicates, the work also reveals that Pension Funds pursue asset allocation policies different than those adopted by other market players due to the Fund¿s long term investment characteristics. No major impacts were identified on the legislation issued by the National Monetary Council ¿ CMN - in what it concerns asset allocation and impacts were only identified on the legislation regarding - CPMF - taxes on financial operations - which led Pension Funds to allocate expressive part of their assets on investment funds.

A importância e a contribuição das empresas de pequeno porte para o desenvolvimento do país são argumentos suficientes para que esse segmento empresarial seja considerado e tratado como estratégia de política pública. No Brasil as dificuldades e os entraves para que os pequenos negócios produzam resultados de política estão expressos, sobretudo, na conceituação de pequeno porte, na forma de tributação e nos encargos sociais. Para vencer essas limitações e sobreviver os pequenos empresários adotam práticas gerenciais que visam sistematicamente burlar o fisco, trazendo conseqüências desfavoráveis à empresa. Práticas tais como a utilização de caixa dois e o pagamento de salários sem o devido registro são amplamente aplicadas nas pequenas empresas que preferem se expor ao risco da fiscalização do que cumprir os requisitos definidos na legislação. Para reverter esse quadro, o posicionamento estratégico do governo face aos pequenos negócios deveria contemplar ações de incentivo a criação e desenvolvimento de uma classe empresarial, de melhoria da capacidade gerencial, de simplificação da legislação com redução da carga tributária e de assimilação de mão de obra excedente no mercado de trabalho.

The Brazilian Public Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde - SUS), defined by the Constitution of 1988, is almost 20 years old and is a landmark for health public policies. In these 20 years, the law was altered several times with the objective of prioritizing the investment of public money in such a needy area as health. Among these changes, it is important to single out the Constitutional Amendment number 29, issued on 13th September 2000, which determined the minimum investment in health. According to this amendment, as from the year 2000, the municipalities should invest in health services a minimum of 7% of the revenue from taxes and transferences from the Federal and State governments. This value was to rise gradually to 15% by 2004. Since every public policy should be systematically evaluated and considering the assumption that, according to the incrementalist theory, more money invested in health would tend to solve the crisis in the health system, this dissertation consists of a study of a set of health indicators in some municipalities of the State of Pernambuco after the Amendment 29. The evaluation period spanned 4 years, from 2002 to 2005 and the area chosen for the study was located in southern agreste region of the state. Ten health indicators were selected, all of which included in the Administrative Rule no 493, of the Health Ministry. It was found that in the chosen period the average investment in health was greater than 15% of the municipalities¿ revenue since 2002. However, the value of the investment per capita, considering the municipality's share of it, which was half of the total investment, decreased from 2002 to 2004 and increased in 2005. It was also found that the municipalities with the lowest per capita income were the ones with the highest investment per capita in health. As regards children mortality in the region, it was on average 33 for every 1000 children born, which is classified as ¿medium¿ according to the above mentioned Administrative Rule no 493. No statistically significative correlation was found between the amount of money invested in health and children mortality.

As pequenas empresas desempenham um papel fundamental no sistema produtivo brasileiro, principalmente no que diz respeito a geração de postos de trabalhos. Ciente desta importância, o governo brasileiro vem buscando há três décadas dinamizar este segmento através de políticas de incentivo, como acesso ao crédito e programas de capacitação. A prova mais tangível desta preocupação foi a formatação do SEBRAE - Serviço Brasileiro de Apoio às Micro e Pequenas Empresas e dos SEBRAEs regionais, em 1990, que concentrou, de certa forma, todas as decisões do poder público e da iniciativa privada para os pequenos empreendimentos. O objetivo deste trabalho é estudar a atuação do SEBRAE/RJ no Estado do Rio de Janeiro, na primeira metade da década de noventa, quando a instituição adotou uma estratégia que priorizou a capilaridade da rede de atendimento e a massificação de informações, que resultou numa atuação totalmente diferenciada do SEBRAE/RJ, se comparada com os demais SEBRAEs regionais. Não obstante as limitações identificadas, esta experiência pode ser discutida por seu caráter inovador e diferenciada, principalmente considerando a dimensão e importância dos pequenos empreendimentos para a economia do estado do Rio de Janeiro.

The objective of the present work is to investigate gift-giving behavior between humans and their pets, and whether the relationship between human and pet affects the choice and purchase of these gifts. Theoretical support comes from works by Wolfinbarger (1990) who categorized the motivations underlying gift-giving, Belk & Coon (1993) who observed gift-giving as an economic exchange, Belk (1993) who approached gift-giving as an act of agapic love, and finally Hirschman (1994) who described many forms of relationship between consumers and their pets. The present study is of exploratory character. In-depth interviews were conducted so then the feelings and emotions of the informants, necessary to the analysis, could emerge. It was assumed that agapic, unconditional love, guided the gifts choice and purchase. Nevertheless, interpretation of the records shows that motivations which led the humans to give gifts to their pets were many. The work shows these motivations in a matrix. Records also indicate that it is difficult to establish the threshold between on motivation and the other.

The high degree of flexibility has been pointed as one of the outstanding characteristics of the Brazilian job market. Employability is being a frequent discussion issue among the professionals of the human resources area. The Human Capital Theory and the contemporary discussion concerning Employability argue the relationship of the educational practice and of the production practice in a capitalist economical-social structure as a whole. The education consequences in the individuals' life are reflected in several ways, direct and indirectly. Our objective is to evaluate, with statistics methods, and in that universe of consequences, the explanatory events of the relationships between education-wage and education¿job. The main reason of this work is to evaluate the relationship between education, wage and Employability from a structural model perspective, seeking to compare and to contrast two effective theories: the one from the human capital and other from the Employability. To make this analysis, a database of individuals that are working at the formal work market in the Rio de Janeiro Metropolitan Area, had been used. The results showed the education importance on the wage level, as well as, on the Employability factor, whose values and highest taxes correspond to the individuals graduated on the university.

REPETRO, the special tax regime for importing and exporting goods for the exploration and drilling of oil and gas, aims at bringing foreign assets to Brazil enjoying a suspension or even an exemption of taxes, so that Brazilian industry may profit from about 8 billion American dollars in investments. The creation of normative devices as well as the management of the REPETRO model are under the exclusive responsibility of the Brazilian Internal Revenue Services. REPETRO was created in 1999 and is composed of the following customs treatments: importation of goods with suspension of taxes by use of the drawback special regime, suspension mode for national exporting industry; exportation with fictitious exit for the national industry; temporary admission of goods or assets used in oil exploration and production, attending to the needs of both the national and foreign market. Considering the inability of the Brazilian government in restructuring its foreign trade model so that a strong investment in technology could provide for the sector¿s needs, we must ask how we can change REPETRO to help the various companies in the oil business? The issue is very important for one of our main economic activities, though not enough studied. The energy sector has a strategic importance for the development and the economic independence of any country. The winds of globalization lead Brazil to open its economy in the last decade and the national policy for exploration and drilling (E&D) was altered. The government created a new agency dedicated to market control and energy policies, the National Agency for Oil and Biofuels (ANP). With the opening of the market, Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. - Petrobras, the Brazilian giant, lost the monopoly of the oil business. The P-50 Platform, with a capacity for 180,000 barrels per day, was imported based on REPETRO. When it began operating on April 21st, 2006, Brazil achieved self-sufficiency in oil production. The present work intends to estimate the main variables affecting the importation and exportation of goods and assets for E&D, showing how REPETRO works. We also intend to look at the results yielded by the REPETRO model for the development of the production of oil and gas in Brazil, as well as show proposals for its modernization. It has been established that even though since its implementation the REPETRO model has brought fiscal advantages through the reduction of tax costs relating to foreign commerce operations and the incentive of investments in the E&D area with the increase in the national oil production there remain the following limitations: lack of preparation and of knowledge of the model; lack of adjustement of the model to the reality of actitity of E&D of oil and gas; taxes over the pre-operational stage or investment in oil production stage; non-allowance of full access by the national industry to the supply of goods and products relating to the industrialization of goods allowed by REPETRO; other fiscal and administrative difficulties. We conclude that the REPETRO model is important for the development of the area of E&D of oil and gas, but not completely effective. It is necessary to change it or create a new model based on a new perspective of the customs treatment of the activities of exploration and production, minimizing administrative procedures relating to the operations of exportation and importation.

The social responsibility is being very considered by the organizations and it has been exercising important impact in your strategies. More companies are confronting if with the obligation of incorporating, spontaneously or for pressure of groups and segments, the social responsibility to your profit objectives.

This paper intends to propose a study to evaluate and analyse the influence of tax education in the behavior of young inhabitants of the Espirito Santo State living in the cities of Muniz Freire and São Mateus. The context of the problem under investigation consists in the context of a frequent conflict between consumers, the state and companies. These conflicts arise because the state does not provide sufficient and adequate services that lie under its responsability. Due to this fact, companies often conclude that it is not worthwhile to pay state taxes, and the consumer has great trouble when trying to obtain the rights they are entitled to from the companies and from the state. Therefore, the intermediate aims of this paper were to research behavior related to the moment of purchase and the reception of a bill of sale, especifically, if mechanisms of pressure, involvement and personal commitment, exert any influence over the consumers request for a tax receipt. The methodology to reach these objectives was a field survey through questionnaires. The final results show that through the tax education the students are assimilating the importance of the taxes.

Talvez seja excesso de pessimismo crer que se inicia a derrocada final do capitalismo. O fato, porém, é que esse sistema vem se defrontando com problemas para os quais não há ainda soluções visíveis, como a questão do emprego, por exemplo. As taxas mundiais de desemprego são elevadas e a globalização da economia tende a reforçar o desemprego estrutural. Daí a preocupação do G-7, que tem analisado o tema recorrentemente. O objetivo do presente trabalho, consiste na análise do comportamento apresentado pela taxa de lucro. Para tanto, ela será pensada de acordo com a interpretação marxista. Isto envolve uma análise teórica e empírica. Qualquer tentativa de estimação de conceitos marxistas, porém, deve abordar a questão da transformação de valores em preços.

Este trabalho analisa a interação entre o prefeito e as outras esferas do executivo nacional através das transferências voluntárias e as implicações nas contas públicas. É notória a utilização das transferências voluntárias como canal político; há aumento destas receitas tanto nos anos de eleição para prefeito quanto governador e presidente. O impacto das transferências voluntárias é significativo para diferenciar as despesas, investimento e gastos sociais, entre os municípios. Assim, como contrapartida, o governo municipal aumenta os gastos tanto nos anos do fim do mandato quanto no período do meio de mandato. As estimações sugerem que os gastos são estatisticamente maiores nas eleições para presidente e governador do que para o ciclo eleitoral do prefeito. Entretanto, o resultado para as receitas municipais apresenta um comportamento diferente dos gastos. As transferências voluntárias normalmente não explicam as diferenças de arrecadação municipal. Nos anos eleitorais para presidente e governador não há redução da arrecadação dos tributos municipais, o que já ocorre no final do mandato dos prefeitos. As estatísticas mostram que para as despesas há ciclo tanto no meio quanto no final do mandato, no entanto para as receitas há prioridade para as eleições municipais. Utilizamos um painel não balanceado para todos os municípios brasileiros, que havia informação, no período de 1996-2004.
