La evolución de la intensidad energética de la industria vasca entre 1982-2001: Un análisis de descomposición

In this article an index decomposition methodology is used to estimate the effect of intersectorial and intrasectorial changes in explaining the 38% reduction in industrial energy intensity in the Basque Autonomous Community from 1982 to 2001. Period-wise additive decomposition results show that (1) the decline is fully explained by intrasectorial changes and that (2) intersectorial changes have not contributed to reduce but to increase the energy intensity of the Basque industrial sector. However, timeseries decomposition analysis shows that (1) four different phases can be distinguished in the evolution of energy intensity of the Basque industry from 1982 to 2001 and (2) that the evolution of the “Iron and Steel” sector is determinant when explaining those phases. Moreover, the analysis stresses the necessity to disaggregate the “Iron and Steel” sector in order to be able to distinguish purely technological effects from the rest of intrasectorial changes.

Contribuições sociais estabelecidas pela Lei Complementar nº 110/2001 : razão da instituição e continuidade de exigência

Já se passaram quase doze anos da instituição das contribuições sociais previstas nos arts. 1º e 2º da Lei complementar n. 110/2001. Tais contribuições visavam repor nas contas vinculadas do FGTS os complementos de atualização monetária devida aos trabalhadores em razão de expurgos inflacionários efetuados após a edição dos planos econômicos de janeiro de 1989 (Plano Verão) e de abril de 1990 (Plano Collor I). O presente estudo pretende avaliar se ainda persistem os fatores que justificaram a cobrança da contribuição prevista no art. 1º da referida Lei, em face das razões que justificaram a sua criação. Pela existência de indícios de que os valores recolhidos já atenderam ao seu pressuposto e, com o intuito de responder a essa indagação, a presente pesquisa buscou embasamento na legislação que dá origem ao instituto do FGTS, bem como sua evolução. Nessa ocasião, procurou-se apresentar os antecedentes históricos do Fundo, sua natureza jurídica, prescrição e outras considerações ao regime do FGTS. Teve, também, como fonte de pesquisa, literatura que discute, objetivamente, os expurgos inflacionários nas contas vinculadas do FGTS. Não foi desprezada dos objetos de estudo a jurisprudência dos tribunais superiores, onde foi possível perceber a dimensão que alcançaram as ações judiciais promovidas pelos trabalhadores. Outra fonte de pesquisa de significado relevante na elaboração deste trabalho diz respeito às Demonstrações Financeiras do FGTS somadas aos Relatórios de Gestão, ambos referentes aos exercícios de 2000 a 2011. Por meio desse instrumental, foi possível fazer uma análise do patrimônio do FGTS e identificar o reflexo das contribuições sociais em sua evolução, assim como verificar que o referido Fundo, no decorrer de 2012, já terá amortizado integralmente as despesas decorrentes do pagamento dos complementos de atualização monetária creditados nas contas vinculadas do FGTS. Na metodologia adotada, foram considerados, também, artigos publicados em revistas e em meio eletrônico, leis específicas sobre a matéria, Manual do FGTS e dispositivos constitucionais. Tudo isso, aliado ao método indutivo, favoreceu a aplicação da pesquisa na elucidação da questão em foco.

Algunas condiciones necesarias para la gestión y organización en la universidad

[ES] La crisis del Estado de Bienestar y las Sociedades del Conocimiento generan una crisis en el actual sistema universitario. Este se queda sin respuestas claras y ante un panorama de fines y objetivos difuso y confuso. Frente a estas situaciones, la gestión y la organización devienen en factores estratágicos clave, y esto es así por el potencial competitivo de ambas en el ámbito universitario en particular.

¿Bancos con Problemas? Un Sistema de Alerta Temprana para la Prevención de Crisis Bancarias

[ES] Las autoridades reguladoras y supervisoras de los sistemas financieros han probado diversos métodos para intentar encontrar un procedimiento eficaz en la elaboración de un sistema de alerta temprana de las crisis bancarias. Los Modelos de Regresión Logística han sido usados aunque han mostrado algunas debilidades, por lo que se necesitan nuevos y mejores métodos. La crisis bancaria ocurrida en la República Dominicana entre los años 2002 y 2004 se ha usado para comparar la eficacia de la Regresión Logística frente al uso del método Support Vector Machines (SVM) para la detección de crisis bancarias.

Medidas provisórias : efeitos da caducidade e da rejeição após a EC 32/2001

Propõe analisar a situação das relações jurídicas decorrentes de medida provisória que foi rejeitada ou caducou. Observou-se a história do surgimento da medida provisória no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro e foi feita a análise da medida provisória no texto original da Constituição Federal e no texto constitucional modificado pela Emenda Constitucional nº 32 de 2001. Além disso, fez-se o estudo do caso específico da Medida Provisória nº 82/2002, que não foi convertida em lei. A metodologia utilizada foi a corrente de pensamento dialética e o método monográfico de pesquisa com a análise do artigo 62 da CF, de registros e posicionamentos do Supremo Tribunal Federal, o estudo de artigos de revistas, e, especialmente, de material doutrinário de juristas e especialistas em processo legislativo.
