Informalidade no mercado de trabalho brasileiro: uma resenha da literatura

The economic literature relative to Brazilian labor market informality is very disperse and presents a significant lack of organization. In that sense, the purpose of this paper is to organize and discuss on a systematic way the main pieces of literature concerning informality in the Brazilian labor market using, whenever it is possible, the international literature as a comparison point for the existing results relative to Brazil's experience. More specifically, questions related to wage differentials between formal and informal workers, labor market segmentation and the effect of institutions on the informal sector are emphasized.

A industrialização da pauta de exportação brasileira entre 1964 e 1974: novos dados e índices para o comércio exterior brasileiro do período

This paper analyses the effects on Brazil's trade indices of the rising share of industrial products in Brazil's exports in the period from 1964 to 1974. New price and quantity indices of Fisher for Brazil's exports and imports of industrial and non-industrial goods have been especially constructed for this period, in order to obtain methodologically consistent series of indexes from 1964 to 2005. The market-share-constant model was applied to analyze the effects of different groups of products on Brazil's export revenues between 1964 and 1974.

O comportamento recente do investimento direto brasileiro no exterior em perspectiva

The recent behavior of the Brazilian direct investment abroad in perspective. This paper analyzes the recent behavior of the Brazilian direct investment abroad, as captured by an annual census conducted by the Central Bank of Brazil since 2001, by putting it in a broader perspective that includes international official data sources and early sample studies. Though the Central Bank has not been making available more disaggregated data than those analyzed here, it is intended to contribute to a better grasping of the perspectives of competitive internationalization of local firms, which is desirable not only as far as the external accounts are concerned, but also from the viewpoint of the technological capabilities of the local firms.

Desempenho recente do mercado de trabalho brasileiro: 1992-2005

Recent behavior of the Brazilian labor market: 1992-2005. This study aims at describing the behavior of the Brazilian labor market between 1992 and 2005. This period comprises significant changes in the economic scenario, in the midst of the process of opening the economy to adjust to the prevailing international economic order. In the one hand, the paper focuses on the time evolution of the main labor market indicators, trying to identify trends and stylized facts. On the other, it emphasizes aspects related to spatial patterns, particularly in terms of the metropolitan versus non-metropolitan behavior.

Transparência do banco central: uma análise para o caso brasileiro

Central Bank transparency: an analysis of the Brazilian case. Nowadays there is a tendency among central banks of increasing transparency in the conduction of the monetary policy. After the adoption of inflation targeting in Brazil there was an increase in the communication of the Central Bank of Brazil with the public. This paper makes a brief review of the recent theoretical and empirical literature concerning this subject. Furthermore, an analysis due to the transparency in the conduction of Brazilian monetary policy on important macroeconomic variables is made. The findings denote that an increase in transparency improves the behavior of several macroeconomic variables.

Desindustrialização: conceituação, causas, efeitos e o caso brasileiro

De-Industrialization: concept, causes, effects and the Brazilian case. This article aims to do a theoretical discussion about the term "de-industrialization" and its relationship with other concepts as "primarization" of exports and "Dutch disease". After that we will analyze the possible causes and effects of "de-industrialization". Finally, we analyze the Brazilian case, with a special attention over the economic literature about this issue.

Surpresas com relação à política monetária e o mercado de capitais: evidências do caso brasileiro

O mercado brasileiro do século XIX: uma visão por meio do comércio de cabotagem

The Brazilian market in the XIX century: an approach through the cabotage commerce. The maritime commerce consisted of the main way of circulation of the goods between the Brazilian provinces until the second half of century XIX. Although the relatively big importance of the flows of commerce with the exterior, we note significant exchange of goods by sea between the Brazilian regions since the colonial period. A part of these exchanges derived from products destined in last instance to the foreigner or imported of the exterior. However, another part elapsed of national goods that had not arrived at be exported to the international market. Many goods for the colonial and imperial consumption had circulated by the Brazilian coasts in expressive sums. From the information raised for the imperial period, especially the decades of 1860 and 1870, we verify that most of the goods commercialized between the provinces consisted of national products destined to the internal consumption.

A gerência recente do endividamento público brasileiro

The recente Brazilian public management. We use two frameworks to analyze the recent Brazilian public debt management. The first one encompasses the Brazilian optimal public debt management analysis through the examination of the correlations among the main variables to which the public debt is indexed. The second seeks to address the consequences of recent Brazilian economic policies, such as international reserves accumulation through sterilized interventions by the Central Bank and excessive capitalization of federal financial institutions. Those policies have important, albeit often ignored, fiscal impacts, which became important to determine the current size, maturity and composition of the public debt stock.

Gênese e agenda do novo desenvolvimentismo brasileiro

The debate regarding Brazil's development model returned again to the public arena in the first decade of 21st century after two decades of orthodox economic policies which encouraged non-developed countries to adopt liberal economic policies as their preferred growth strategies. As Brazil achieved neither economic stability nor development, the discussion of new development strategies returned as a popular research topic. It is in this context that a new development theory - New Developmentalism - emerges. The objective of this article is to review the origins of this debate and the main propositions defended by the group aiming to implement a new development model policy in the country. The main conclusions are that this group has had an important contribution in maintaining the development debate in the public agenda as well as proposing a new theoretical approach called "structuralist macroeconomic development".

Um estudio qualitativo do processo de construçao da identidade profissional do professor no contexto brasileiro. 'Un estudio cualitativo del procedimiento de construcción de la identidad profesional del profesorado en el contexto brasileño'.

Analizar la figura del profesor como constructor de su propia historia. Determinar los factores que estructuran la identidad profesional del profesor de enseñanza básica en el contexto social brasileño.. Cuatro profesores noveles, con menos de dos años de experiencia en la docencia y dos profesores expertos, con más de 15 años de experiencia docente.. La identidad profesional del profesorado brasileño está fuertemente condicionada a sus experiencias previas antes de incorporarse a la docencia. Las opciones profesionales relativas al magisterio no están motivadas por el interés por la docencia y más por un cambio socio-económico, que provoca desajustes frente a la realidad educativa.. Entrevista estructurada.. Análisis cualitativo, análisis de la literatura científica sobre el tema.. Describe la experiencia del trabajo profesional del autor junto con los profesores que enseñan en el mismo nivel que el profesorado aquí investigado; después de indicar la metodología de la investigación se explicitan los parámetros utilizados para el trabajo de campo. Se profundiza sobre determinados conceptos fundamentales para conocer los procesos de enseñanza en cualquier institución educativa, centrándose en el sistema educativo brasileño. Se profundiza en los relatos personales del profesorado analizado en la investigación respecto al desarrollo profesional. Se profundiza en el análisis de la información proporcionada por el profesorado, analizando los principales momentos de la educación formal en Brasil en las últimas décadas, tratando de recoger la información más relevante respecto al desarrollo docente del profesorado; finalmente se realiza un análisis cualitativo de los datos recogidos, contextualizando la investigación en los centros educativos de Sao Paulo. La identidad profesional del profesorado se estructura en un movimiento dinámico de entrecruzamiento en tres direcciones: la representación social de su papel como educador, la naturaleza propia de su trabajo desenvolviéndose en un determinado contexto y sus propias características personales; es necesario considerar todas las dimensiones conjuntamente ya que forman parte de una misma realidad, las características del profesorado, es fundamental en Brasil.. Se encuentran fuertes vinculaciones entre la vida privada y profesional del profesorado: ambos campos están estrechamente vinculados, interfiriendo ambos campos. No es posible extrapolar de las situaciones personales del profesorado entrevistado un patrón de actuación, sino que su actitud responde a situaciones concretas, las carencias afectivas en la infancia se muestran relevantes para optar por esta vía profesional. La influencia de las políticas educativas sobre el trabajo docente se observa en la insatisfacción del profesorado frente a políticas educativas desarrolladas, fundamentalmente como consecuencia de la imposición y no del consenso de las actuaciones, las innovaciones constantes promueven la inseguridad del profesorado, teniendo que adecuar constantemente su actuación a los nuevos procesos. El profesorado normalmente está organizado en asociaciones que poseen muchas características comunes con los modelos asociativos sindicales; sin embargo se observa como consecuencia del incremento del número de profesores, como socialmente se va desprestigiando la carrera de Magisterio por otros sectores sociales. El profesorado novel muestra la necesidad de contar con unas prácticas guiadas, con asesoramiento del profesorado experimentado, antes de quedar solos en el puesto de trabajo, ya que la frustración en los primeros momentos profesionales puede eliminar carreras profesionales. Se observa en general la importancia que han marcado en las opciones profesionales la actuación de los profesores, siendo fundamentales para su interés por la carrera profesional. El proceso que se observa en líneas generales es que el profesorado cada vez va dejando de ser un educador para convertirse cada vez más en funcionario y trasladar las preocupaciones de la escuela por otro tipo de intereses.
