Brazil’s Northeast Financing Constitutional Fund: Differentiated effects on municipal economic growth

This article investigates the effects of the investments made by the Northeast Financing Constitutional Fund (FNE) on the economic growth of that region's municipalities in the decade of 2000. To that end, it uses an empirical framework based on growth models that make it possible to form convergence clubs according to the municipalities' initial development level. The results corroborate the empirical strategy and reveal the existence of four groups of municipalities, in which investment flows through the FNE have different effects on growth. In general, the FNE produces positive and significant effects in most municipalities of the Northeast, except for those whose gross domestic product (GDP) per capita was either very low or very high at the start of the decade, in which case its effects are not significant.

¿La financiación pública estimula la innovación y la productividad? Una evaluación de impacto

Este trabajo contribuye a la literatura empírica sobre evaluación del impacto de la financiación pública a la innovación, los gastos en innovación y la productividad en países en desarrollo. Utilizando técnicas de emparejamiento por puntaje de propensión y datos de las Encuestas de actividades de innovación, se analizan los efectos de las ayudas públicas a la innovación en las empresas uruguayas. Se constata que la inversión en innovación privada mediante fondos públicos no tiene un efecto excluyente y que la financiación pública parece aumentar los gastos privados en innovación. El apoyo financiero también pareciera inducir un incremento de los gastos de i+d y de las ventas innovadoras, especialmente en las empresas de servicios. Empero, los fondos públicos no estimulan considerablemente los gastos privados de las empresas que habrían realizado actividades de innovación incluso sin apoyo financiero.
