Análise da adequação do regime das medidas cautelares pessoais do processo penal à constituição

Pretende-se analisar a adequação do regime das medidas cautelares pessoais, introduzido pela lei 12.403/11 à Constituição por meio de uma abordagem abstrata, debruçando-se puramente sobre o texto introduzido pela referida norma, e de outra empírica, tendo-se como base uma pesquisa sobre prisões em flagrantes ocorridas no município de São Paulo. O referencial para a análise da adequação será os princípios constitucionais regentes das medidas cautelares pessoais, notadamente o da presunção de inocência e da proporcionalidade.

The evolution of TFP in Latin America: high productivity when distortions were high?

Due to widespread government intervention and import-substitution industrialization, there has been a general presumption that Latin America has been much less productive than the leading economies in the last decades. In this paper, however, we show that until the late seventies Latin America had high total factor productivity (TFP) levels relative to the US and other regions. It is only after the late seventies that we observe a fast decrease of relative TFP in Latin America. Results are robust to the use of diferent methodologies and data sources.

On the evolution of TFP in Latin America

Due to several policy distortions, including import-substitution industrialization, widespread government intervention and both domestic and international competitive barriers, there has been a general presumption that Latin America has been much less productive than the leading economies in the last decades. In this paper we show, however, that until the late seventies Latin American countries had high productivity levels relative to the United States. It is only after the late seventies that we observe a fast decrease of relative TFP in Latin America. We also show that the inclusion of human capital in the production function makes a crucial diference in the TFP calculations for Latin America.
