The master thesis for the achievement of the academic status master of science in international management (MPGI) will aim to solve the research question of how institutional voids affect the entry decision-making process of foreign venture capital firms coming to Brazil. This is a timely matter since in the past years there has been a sudden eruption of foreign VC involvement in Brazil. Based on the actionable framework by Khanna and Palpeu (2010) we conducted quantitative as well as qualitative research with two sets of interview partners in a two-phase analysis. We interviewed experts from VC firms, foreign VC firms based in Brazil and perspective VC firms that are looking to come to Brazil. We started with the former, derived lessons learned and analyzed how they affect the latter in reaching a decision. As we expected we found that depending on the industry that ventures are in, institutional voids can either pose an opportunity or a threat and hence attract or push away potential VC firms entering Brazil. Opportunities exist especially when exploiting institutional voids, for example through ventures in the marketplace efficiency. Threats are posed by investments in for instance hard infrastructure, where the economic, political and judicial systems as well as corruption and bureaucracy play demanding roles.

Com o fortalecimento recente dos rgos de controle, o avano na adequao da legislao vigente no combate corrupo e a atuao cada vez mais investigativa da mdia em casos de corrupo, o tema tem ganho destaque no cotidiano do cidado brasileiro. Os avanos obtidos, refletem no somente a preocupao em relao aos efeitos da corrupo que incidem sobre a administrao pblica e sobre o cidado, mas tambm com relao legitimidade do sistema poltico. Apesar disso, por se tratar a corrupo, e outras transgresses s leis, de um fenmeno oculto, pouco se conhece acerca das condies de ocorrncia deste mercado ilegal. O cidado descontente reivindica das instituies sano aos envolvidos neste mercado. A percepo da populao acerca do carter punitivo dos rgos de controle ainda de insuficincia. Nesse sentido, se faz necessrio conhecer as configuraes que desencadeiam na sano e no sano de parlamentares envolvidos em casos de corrupo a fim de compreender se, de fato, houve ou no lenincia na conduo dos processos investigativos e punitivos. Desta forma, este trabalho objetiva compreender quais fatores condicionam a ocorrncia de sano em casos de corrupo, assim como analisar as configuraes que deflagram no impasse entre o agir coletivamente (protegendo o acusado e, consequentemente a rede de envolvidos) ou individualmente dos atores polticos (no protegendo o acusado e, o acusado no protegendo a rede) em diferentes casos. Os casos adotados foram: 1) do superfaturamento das obras do TRT-SP, 2) da criao e funcionamento de um mercado ilegal de jogos de azar no Estado de Gois e, 3) da edio e no publicao de atos administrativos no Senado. Proponho uma anlise qualitativa comparativa entre os casos, utilizando-me do mtodo configuracional. Os resultados apresentados nesta pesquisa, no tem pretenso de explicar todo e qualquer caso de corrupo, mas contribuir para o debate acerca do tema.

Qual o impacto dos escndalos polticos sobre o clima econmico dos pases sul-americanos? O presente trabalho busca responder essa pergunta ao avaliar a confiana de especialistas na economia de sete pases sul-americanos durante a ocorrncia de escndalos polticos em um recorte temporal de 10 anos (de 2005 at 2014). Entendemos os escndalos polticos como sendo eventos noticiados pela mdia envolvendo os presidentes das repblicas sul-americanas em episdios de corrupo ou abuso de poder. J o clima econmico medido a partir da avaliao da economia por especialistas regularmente consultados pela Sondagem Econmica da Amrica Latina, uma pesquisa que gera a construo do ndice de Clima Econmico da Amrica Latina. Evidncias apontam a influncia de determinantes polticos sobre a avaliao econmica realizada pelo pblico geral. Poucos estudos exploram o processo de formao da confiana econmica de especialistas. Utilizamos o modelo de regresso em painel para verificar a correlao entre escndalos polticos e o ndice de Clima Econmico. Nenhuma correlao pde ser verificada quando adotamos um modelo relacionado economia internacional. Surpreendentemente, encontramos uma correlao significante e positiva quando adicionamos variveis econmicas domsticas anlise. Acreditamos que futuras contribuies para o tema devam levar em conta a importncia do papel das instituies como elemento fundamental na confiana de especialistas.
