Teoria econômica, finanças e empresas de capital aberto: uma análise corporativa de empresas

The study attempts to develop the concept of financial fragility and explore the advancement of their chances, since he started in 1970 until the present day with the most respected authors. The analysis focuses on the possibility of changing the cycle of economic activity that is due to the vulnerability, and so that it is related to the behavior of firms and agents. What can be done to prevent such a crisis. Thus, the authors present the factors and explain how the credit market, operating assets and investments of capital goods under the influence in that economy. It also consists in the analysis to visualize the size of the influence of credit, interest and investments made by the evaluation of a data set

Finanças comportamentais e a formação de bolhas especulativas

Economic crises caused by speculative bubbles are recurring in economic history but there is still no consensus on how it begins, grows and overflows. Economists and regulators seem to be inefficient in predicting and preventing this process, which is so detrimental to economic functioning. This failure proved to be obvious with the American subprime crises, which had great impact on various sectors of the U.S. economy. In this paper, we perform a literature review of the traditional theory of finance, mainly represented by the Efficient Market Hypothesis. According to this theory, asset prices always reflect their intrinsic value, assumption that doesn’t match the price boom followed by a crash, observed in the crisis generated by speculative bubbles. Finally, we present a new way to analyze this phenomenon, in the light of the investors’ behavioral aspects and the flaws inherent to the financial markets

O papel dos bancos públicos brasileiros no desenvolvimento socioeconômico: 2000 a 2012

Direcionamento de crédito: uma análise sobre os efeitos da atuação do BNDES durante a crise do Subprime

This essay treats the government acting on the National Financial System (SFN) through the policy of directing credit, a common practice within industrialization attempts. In Brazil this policy occurred mainly through the principal instrument of the government on the financial system, the National Bank of Economic and Social Development (BNDES). It will be explained BNDES’ position within public finances and its ability to mobilize or act as an intermediary for mobilizing resources for the economy. Will also be addressed the countercyclical characteristics of BNDES’ disbursements in the Brazilian economy using as a backdrop the financial crisis that erupted in the overthrow of the mortgages in the USA, also known as the subprime crisis. Finally we will present the main ideas behind the criticism and praise that this model with strong state presence in the financial system suffers

Bancos de capacitores se corrente de Inrush

This work discusses about the effects and methods of control and elimination of the currents transients generated by switching capacitor banks, this currents are called inrush currents. Capacitor banks are widely used to compensate a low power factor generated by the widespread use of inductive loads. Currently many of these banks are automatic and therefore the capacitive cells are connected and disconnected according to the inductive loads on the network. However when connecting a capacitor bank to a bus can generate currents transients generated by electromagnetic transients. Aspects of the network, for example, the existence of a bank already connected to the bus, can influence the intensity of this phenomenon. This paper discusses some characteristics of the capacitors and the network to justify and explain the appearance of these transients and discusses its effects on the network and to other equipment. It is concluded that the main cause of this phenomenon is the voltage difference between the capacitor to be connected to the network and the bus, the results of the study were the bases to discuss the traditional methods to mitigate these currents and therefore its negative effects. Although in this paper is yet developed a method of electronic switching that can greatly reduce these transients

Os impactos da crise financeira sobre as finanças públicas do estado do Piauí

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo compreender os impactos e os ajustes ocorridos nas finanças dos municípios do Estado do Piauí em decorrência da crise financeira mundial de 2008, desencadeada a partir do mercado de hipotecas sub-prime dos Estados Unidos. Para a análise desses impactos sobre os municípios do Piauí, pretendo estudar as principais características da crise financeira mundial de 2008, apresentar uma visão ampla do desenvolvimento econômico e social do estado do Piauí, elaborar um quadro geral das finanças dos municípios piauienses a partir de suas principais contas, montar indicadores fiscal-financeiros, do período pré e pós crise, avaliar os resultados obtidos e identificar se houveram estratégias de ajustes por parte destes municípios. Desta forma, farei uma reflexão não só de como, quanto e se sofreu o estado de menor renda per capita do País, mas também de quais foram as medidas tomadas pelas administrações municipais para o enfrentamento da crise

A inclusão financeira no Brasil: uma análise da contribuição dos bancos sociais

O objetivo maior deste trabalho é contribuir para se diagnosticar qual a conjuntura atual do setor microfinanceiro no Brasil. Para tanto, inicia uma exposição histórica, com o intuito de demonstrar quais as variáveis condicionantes de nosso estágio atual, chegando até ao último programa lançado pelo governo federal com a finalidade de fomentar os serviços financeiros entre a população de baixa renda - vale ressaltar, o Programa Nacional de Microcrédito Produtivo Orientado (PNMPO). A partir dessa fase, inicia uma exposição dos novos obstáculos, criados, paradoxalmente, no seio do PNMPO e ligados ao excesso de regulação, a serem transpostos para se desenvolver a indústria de microfinanças no país, propondo soluções para estes. Por fim, faz um estudo de caso de uma inovação social, ligada à economia solidária, que apresenta ótimos resultados no que tange a democratização dos serviços microfinanceiros, ocorrida em Fortaleza/CE: o Banco Palmas

Banco do Vaticano: uma análise econômico-financeira

This thesis work aims to bring a better viewing on an atypical case of financial analysis. The lstituto per le Opere di Religione (IOR), commonly known as the Vatican Bank, has peculiarities according to its goals as a bank. Belonging to a Catholic religious congregation, IOR has been used to manage the resources of the church, and ensure that these resources are used for the operation of it and, also for religious works. However the financial transactions made by the bank remained secret throughout its existence until mid 2012. This feature of not providing relevant information at the local and international community brought harm. Several cases of corruption and money laundering came up, bringing scandals that cause bad looks for the religious entity. In order to interact with the international community and understanding the importance of it, the Roman Apostolic Catholic Church decides to joing the international accounting procedures (IFRS) and went on to provide yearly financial statement reports and other information from its bank from 2012 . Thus, this thesis work takes on the role of analyzing the financial statements of the IOR and present its economic and financial health from the Capital Structure ratios, liquidity and profitability in the period 2012-2014. Overall, there has been a significant reduction in indebtedness 548% in 2012 to 362% in 2014. However, such an index showing is still high. In addition, the debt profile remained bad (87.47% short-term in 2014). The Liquidity ratios, both indices fell during the analysed period. Noteworthy is that even with retractions, the indices are equal or greater than 1, which indicates financial footing able to pay off debts. Regarding profitability, in 2013 it represented atypical moment, considering the economic performance of the IOR in the investigated period. There was decrease in profits this year, which resulted in great loss of the indicators in 2013. For the previous and subsequent...
