Transição para uma bovinocultura de corte sustentável no Brasil: uma análise SVAR
(2025) Gomes, Raquel Oliveira; Farias, Hilder André Bezerra; Silva Neto, Waldemiro Alcântara da
The article aimed to identify whether Brazilian beef cattle farming is managing to transition to a more sustainable model. The analysis involved observing the behavior of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in response to supply and demand shocks in this sector. Structural Vector Autoregressive (SVAR) modeling was employed. The work contributes to a greater understanding of the relationship between GHG emissions growth and the Brazilian beef cattle farming. The results indicate a duality in the sustainable transition of beef cattle farming, with the coexistence of pressures for rapid production increases and the need to plan for increased livestock inventories to achieve greater control over GHG emissions from the sector.
Benefícios da ação coletiva na agricultura familiar: um estudo no perímetro irrigado do Rio Limpopo, Gaza, Moçambique
(2025) Ndava, Alex Orlando; Cunha, Cleyzer Adrian da
This research sought to analyze the forms of cooperation and the benefits of collective action among family rice farmers in the Irrigated Perimeter of the Limpopo River in Mozambique. In methodological terms, qualitative research was carried out, using secondary data resulting from bibliographical and documentary research, and primary data from the application of a questionnaire to a sample by accessibility of 242 family farmers and the application of an interview to 6 heads of farmers' associations, with the aim of describing and explaining the forms of cooperation and benefits of collective action in these groups. The results show that there is cooperation in the region under analysis, resulting from associativism in agricultural activities, which generates benefits for farmers in terms of access to technology and resources, increased production volume, access to information, inclusion in the production chain, accessing larger markets, increasing income, and reducing market risk. Furthermore, it was clear that such cooperation has not helped family farmers to obtain certification for their product, as well as to reduce production risks related to climate, diseases, pests.
Autoavaliação institucional: proposições e evidências avaliativas para a pós-graduação da UFG
(2025) Santos, Steffany Paula Morais dos; Araújo, Paulo Henrique Cirino
Inthe last decades, the rapid growth of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) has led to the development of several methods for their evaluation, culminating in the creation of the SINAES Law in 2004. However, postgraduate education is still inadequately covered in this evaluation process. To minimize this gap, this study proposed the creation of an exclusive evaluative instrument for postgraduate education at the Federal University of Goiás (UFG). The aim is to identify the decisive factors for the institution's development and its graduate programs from the students' perspective. This study is important because it contributes to the development of evaluation methods for postgraduate education in higher education institutions and for future researchers. The methodology consists of bibliographic and documentary analysis based on scientific texts and relevant legislation, as well as semi-structured interview techniques, case studies, and statistical inference. Based on the results, points that require the most improvement were identified, such as teaching and evaluation methodologies, the pedagogical project, program planning, as well as general infrastructure. In addition, the lack of actions to encourage scientific, technical, artistic, and extension productionwas also found.
Potenciais da comercialização de produtos brasileiros da floricultura nos mercados doméstico e externo
(2025) Silva, Adriana Ferreira; Silva, Rodrigo Peixoto da; Machado, Gabriel Costeira; Fachinello, Arlei Luiz; Castro, Nicole Rennó
This study contrasts the strategic potential of the domestic and foreign markets as drivers of the Brazilian chain of flowers and ornamental plants. Unlike other Brazilian agricultural chains that primarily focus on exports, floristry products have their majority destination on the domestic market. Brazil occupies a global position without distinctive features, with only 3% of production intended for foreign trade. In the world ranking, the country is 97th on the list of exporters of floristry products in 2020. To achieve the study’s objectives a Facts Finding Research approach was conducted. The results suggest that while there are positive projections for domestic consumption, sensitivity to changes in income supports evidence that dependency can lead to a bottleneck. As a result, potential gains from the exchange of goods between countries, as well as market expansion and the elimination of surpluses, contribute strategically in the face of adversity. From an international perspective, it is also worth highlighting how the movement to reconfigure the global competitive environment, marked by the increased participation of South American and African countries, can also mean new opportunities for Brazil to participate.
Shared information and the limits of firm performance
(2026) Souza, Thiago Cavalcante de
This paper develops a microfounded model in which integrating decisions through a shared signal improves local inference but weakens the diversification of decision errors inside the firm. Shared information lowers posterior variance at the decision level while raising the covariance of errors across decisions, generating conditional and potentially non-monotonic effects on aggregate firm performance. Digital integration provides the motivating application, but the mechanism is more general: changing the informational structure of the firm changes the extent to which errors diversify across choices. The model delivers an interior optimum and a structural interpretation for heterogeneous productivity effects and persistent partial adoption.
Missions without hierarchy? The coordination paradox in mission-oriented policies in fragmented states
(2026) Souza, Thiago Cavalcante de
This article investigates why high levels of strategic directionality are not sufficient to ensure the effective implementation of mission-oriented innovation policies. Based on a conceptual and historical-institutional approach, grounded in evolutionary economics and the public governance literature, the study proposes a bidimensional framework that distinguishes strategic directionality and hierarchical coordination capacity as central analytical dimensions. Drawing on comparative qualitative evidence from Brazil, India, and South Africa, mobilized as analytical laboratories,the article identifies the regime of‘missions without hierarchy,’ in which strategic ambition coexists with low intra-state coordination capacity, resulting in implementation fragmentation. The main contribution lies in repositioning coordination as an explanatory variable—rather than a presupposition—of mission-oriented policies, offering an analytical instrument to understand the gap between orientation and execution. The article also outlines implications for the institutional design of industrial policies in contexts of state fragmentation.
Direcionalidade em missões de transição energética sob restrições de orçamento impositivo
(2025) Souza, Thiago Cavalcante de
This article develops a theoretical model of fiscal directionalism in missionoriented policies applied to the energy transition. It argues that the transformative capacity of the state depends not only on the scale of green spending but also on the geometric coherence of the policy mix over time. By modeling budget execution as a vector subject to compositional dispersion, the paper shows that mandatory budget regimes may increase directional fragmentation, reducing strategic alignment even under expanding resources. Applied to the Brazilian case and to Mission 5 of the NIB, the model reveals a paradox: higher spending may coexist with a reduced capacity to stabilize dominant technological trajectories.
Efeitos dinâmicos da desagregação tarifária em mercados oligopolistas: evidências da regulação da cobrança de bagagem no setor aéreo brasileiro
(2026) Souza, Thiago Cavalcante de; Mendes, Daniel Morais
This article estimates the causal effect of the authorization to charge for checked baggage, introduced in Brazil in 2017, on domestic airfares between 2012 and 2023. A difference- in- -differences model combined with a dynamic event-study design is employed, using the logarithm of the average fare per kilometer flown as the dependent variable, which enhances international comparability and controls for route-length heterogeneity. The models include structural, operational, and macroeconomic controls, as well as airport and time fixed effects, with two-way clustered standard errors. The results indicate an initial competitive shock, with a 5% to 7% reduction in Brazilian fares in the short run, consistent with price unbundling adjustments. However, these effects do not persist: tariffs gradually recomposed in the medium run and, in the long run, increased by about 3% to 4%, suggesting the internalization of ancillary revenues and pricing strategies aligned with the sector’s oligopolistic structure. Robustness tests confirm the consistency of the findings, indicating that the policy only temporarily affected price levels in the Brazilian aviation market.
O dendê de Valença da Bahia: características e implicações para a indicação geográfica
(2025) Teles, Matheus Gonzaga; Uetanabaro, Ana Paula Trovatti; Fernandes, Lúcia Regina Rangel de Moraes Valente; Souza, Thiago Cavalcante de
This study surveys the historical, biological, cultural, social, political, and economic framework of Valença palm oil to identify elements to support its possible Geographical Indication. It addresses the cultural, social, political, and economic influences that occur in Valença, in the state of Bahia, Brazil, and the area surrounding this municipality, a region that is directly associated with the oil palm fruit and its oil, a product with a well-established national and international reputation. The research was deductive and descriptive, and aimed to analyze the content obtained from the aforementioned geographical outline. The dimensions addressed enabled the identification of the problems and possible alternatives for improving palm oil productivity, as well as the market use of the plant associated with the concept of Geographical Indication (GI). The results showed that oil palm production continues to be an important item on the local production agenda, in addition to highlighting several indicators favorable to the promotion and expansion of this crop. This study demonstrated that support for the expansion of oil palm production areas is crucial to enabling the region to maintain and expand production rates to support the establishment of a GI and further contribute to local development.
Atlantic Forest gross primary productivity dynamics: remote sensing and micrometeorological perspective
(2025) Santana, Romário Oliveira de; Delgado, Rafael Coll; Wanderley, Henderson Silva; Souza, Renato Sinquini de; Pereira, Marcos Gervasio; Anjos, Lúcia Helena Cunha dos
The Atlantic Forest, a biodiversity hotspot and critical carbon sink, is under threat from deforestation and fragmentation. This study evaluates gross primary productivity (GPP) in the Itatiaia National Park (PNI), one of Brazil's oldest conservation units, using 19 years of Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer remote sensing data (2001–2020) and 3 years of micrometeorological tower data (2018–2020). GPP was estimated through models integrating vegetation indices (Enhanced Vegetation Index [EVI] and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), and validated against FLUXNET data. Seasonal analysis revealed higher GPP values during the rainy season, peaking at 8.07 g C m⁻² day⁻¹ in September, while agricultural areas exhibited the highest GPP, with annual averages above 9.00 g C m⁻² day⁻¹. Temporal trends indicated a decline in GPP across all land use classes, with the most pronounced reduction in vegetative refuges (Zmk = −1.65, P < 0.10). Among the models tested, the GPP equation using EVI and PAR yielded the highest accuracy (R² = 0.49, d = 0.89, standard error of estimate = 1.91). The study highlights the effectiveness of remote sensing and micrometeorological data in monitoring ecosystem health and underscores the role of conservation units in carbon sequestration. These findings support integrating protected areas into carbon market initiatives, emphasizing their value for biodiversity conservation and climate change mitigation.
Controle social na gestão ambiental local: uma análise dos conselhos municipais de meio ambiente dos municípios do Consórcio de Desenvolvimento Sustentável do Território Litoral Sul (CDS-LS)
(2026) Meira, Alline Barros; Pinheiro, Lessí Inês Farias; Ferraz , Marcelo Inácio Ferreira; Santana, Romário Oliveira de
The Municipal Environmental Councils (Condemas) promote dialog between the public sector, business and civil society. The aim of this study is to analyse how the Condemas of the municipalities that make up the Southern Coast Territory Sustainable Development Consortium (CDS-LS) serve as instruments of social control over environmental public policies in the territory. The research adopts a qualitative-quantitative approach, using bibliographical and documentary research methods and drawing on data from the CDS-LS itself. The results indicate that the councils face challenges related to participation, political influence, representativeness, mobilisation, social visibility and accessibility. It is concluded that the mere existence of councils does not guarantee the effective participation of the population in municipal environmental management.
Índice de perigo de incêndio florestal em unidades de conservação do corredor central da Mata Atlântica, Brasil no período de 2001 a 2019
(2025) Santana, Romário Oliveira de; Delgado, Rafael Coll; Schiavetti, Alexandre; Trindade, Lídia Raíza Sousa Lima Chaves
The study analyzed the influence of El Niño and La Niña episodes on the forest fire danger index in the Conservation Units (UCs) of the Central Atlantic Forest Corridor (CCMA) between 2001 and 2019. Using five meteorological variables (rainfall, average air temperature, relative humidity, evapotranspiration, and wind speed), along with data on heat spots and burned areas, the study calculated the forest fire danger index for 65 UCs. Spearman's correlation was applied between the index and the heat spots. The results revealed that El Niño and La Niña episodes significantly impact the meteorological variables and the index. El Niño periods were associated with a higher number of heat spots. A total of 3,741 heat spots were identified, with a higher incidence in sustainable use UCs (2,888) compared to strictly protected ones (853). The Environmental Protection Areas (APA) category had the highest number of heat spots. The danger index showed a good correlation with heat spots, especially for National Parks.
A taxonomia de fraudes em relatórios financeiros no mercado acionário brasileiro
(2025) Olokodana, Noel Kentinus; Gonçalves, Rodrigo de Souza; Nascimento, Monize Ramos do
Purpose: To explore the types of financial reporting fraud occurring in publicly traded Brazilian companies. Methodology: The Administrative Sanctioning Processes (PAS) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) were analyzed and the fraud taxonomy was developed. Results: Suggest the following taxonomy: overestimation of assets, transactions with related parties, diversion of funds to offshore entities, overestimation of loss of asset value (impairment), overestimation of income, fictitious income, and underestimation of expenses. Contributions of the Study: The study brings to the attention of academics, regulators, investors, and companies the types of fraud carried out. Knowledge of the fraud taxonomy draws the regulator's attention to preventively look for these types of fraud in published financial reports. Discussions on the taxonomy of fraud in financial reports bring to the attention of academics and professionals (accountants, auditors, and administrators) the forms that distortions in accounting information can take. For auditors (internal or external) and internal control professionals, the taxonomy of fraud in financial reports allows them to act preventively to avoid or limit the occurrence of these frauds. There was a lack of common types of fraud in the Brazilian market. This research seeks to contribute by exploring the types of financial reporting fraud that occur in Brazilian publicly traded companies.
The cement cartel and the overcharge Cade prevented
(2025) Oliveira, Felipe Resende; Lima, Ricardo Carvalho de Andrade; Reis, Daniel Henrique Alves
Avaliação de impacto do Programa Um Computador por Aluno no desempenho escolar
(2026) Ferreira, Jayane Freires; Costa, Edward Martins; Khan, Ahmad Saeed; Irffi, Guilherme; Lima, Alex Felipe Rodrigues; Oliveira, Felipe Resende
This study aims to quantify the impact of the Programa Um Computador por Aluno [One Computer per Student Program] (Prouca) on the educational performance of 9th-grade students in Brazilian public elementary schools. Microdata from Saeb and the School Census were used, applying the fuzzy regression discontinuity method and considering the number of students and teachers predicted by the Maimonides rule. The results reveal that Prouca had no significant impact on students’ performance in Portuguese language and mathematics examinations. These findings are consistent with the existing literature that evaluates the implementation of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in schools, particularly in developing countries.
Estimating the overcharge of the liquefied petroleum gas cartel in Brazil's Federal District: evidence from before-and-after and difference-in-differences approaches
(2025) Silva, Rodrigo Gonçalves da; Severino, Lílian Santos Marques; Oliveira, Felipe Resende
Context: the liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) distribution and retail market in Brazil’s Federal District engaged in collusive practices that raised prices and triggered an investigation by the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (Cade), culminating in the cartel’s conviction in 2023. Objective: estimate the overcharge attributable to the LPG cartel and demonstrate the relevance of Cade’s intervention in restoring competition and consumer welfare. Method: combined application of the “Before and After” and Difference-in-Differences (DID) approaches, comparing prices before, during, and after the collusive conduct to isolate the cartel’s causal effect on prices. Conclusions: The estimates obtained from the “Before and After” methodology indicate overcharges ranging from 2.82% to 5.94%, while the Difference-in-Differences model shows values between 3.73% and 4.56%. Considering the most comprehensive specification, which includes time fixed effects and standard errors clustered by neighborhood, the estimated effect loses statistical significance, suggesting that part of the price variation may be explained by common spatial and temporal factors. Overall, the results indicate that, although there is no robust evidence of a price increase directly attributable to the cartel, CADE’s intervention was relevant in dismantling the coordinated conduct and preserving market competition, thereby promoting a more competitive and stable environment for price formation.
Efeito do Programa Sukatech em indicadores educacionais: evidências para o estado de Goiás
(2026) Oliveira, Felipe Resende; Costa Junior Neto, Aderson Ataides da; Oliveira, Guilherme Resende
This study investigates the impact of extracurricular activities in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) on students’ academic performance, using the Sukatech Program, implemented in the state of Goiás, as a case study. Quasi-experimental methods, particularly propensity score matching (PSM), are employed to evaluate the effect of program participation on students’ grades and attendance in the state public school system, controlling for demographic and institutional characteristics.. The results indicate that the program’s effects vary according to subject, grade level, and statistical method, with more consistent evidence of a positive impact on reducing absenteeism and on certain performance indicators, particularly in high school. Overall, participating students tend to exhibit higher school attendance compared to non-participants. The study highlights limitations, such as the absence of longitudinal data and the potential for selection bias and offers practical recommendations for improving public policy design. Considering the Science, Technology, and Society (STS) perspective, Sukatech is interpreted as a sociotechnical intervention that articulates digital inclusion, sustainability, and student engagement, contributing to the development of educational policies with relevant socioeconomic impact.
Examining the benefits of Brazil joining the OECD: lessons from Chile and Mexico
(2026) Vieira, Edson Roberto; Lucena, Andrea Freire de; Queiroz, Antonio Marcos de; Campos, Flávia Rezende; Salgado, Vítor Pereira
Este estudio busca analizar los principales beneficios de la posible adhesio´n de Brasil a la Organizacio´n para la Cooperacio´n y el Desarrollo Econo´mico (OCDE), basa´ndose en las experiencias de Chile y M´xico. e Se empleara´ el M´todo e de Control Sint´tico e (MCS), que consiste en construir un contrafactual para una econom´ıa expuesta a una intervencio´n (perteneciente a la OCDE), replicando el comportamiento econo´mico previo a la intervencio´n de una econom´ıa comparable. Los resultados indican que la adhesio´n a la OCDE no genero´ una diferencia significativa en el desempeno˜ econo´mico de Chile y M´xico, e lo que podr´ıa desalentar a Brasil a adoptar medidas orientadas a su incorporacio´n a la organizacio´n.
Ilusão estatística e desindustrialização no Brasil no período 2000-2020: uma abordagem de setores verticalmente integrados
(2025) Silva, Felipe Queiroz; Maia, Ismael Loiola
This study aims to analyze the effect of the “statistical illusion” on the process of deindustrialization in the Brazilian economy between 2000 and 2020, investigating to what extent the declining share of manufacturing is linked to the outsourcing of services previously classified as industrial production and employment. For this purpose, the study examines how outsourcing has affected the industry’s share of employment and value added by applying the Vertically Integrated Sectors approach based on Input-Output Tables. Our methodological contribution is the incorporation of productive integration across sectors into the analysis of Brazilian deindustrialization. Most studies on the topic provides no empirical assessment of the statistical illusion and tend to focus on measures of the relative and horizontal importance of the productive system. Our analysis also considers industry classifications based on technological intensity and knowledge-intensive business services (KIBS). The findings indicate that the deindustrialization process in the Brazilian economy is not the result of a statistical illusion, which is consistent with empirical studies conducted in developed economies. However, the Brazilian case is marked by a more regressive pattern of deindustrialization, with a greater impact on industrial segments with higher technological intensity
Understanding inflation in Brazil: lessons from 2011 to 2022
(2026) Vieira, Edson Roberto; Moreira, Vinícius Alencar; Queiroz, Antonio Marcos de
Abstract: This study examines the determinants of Brazilian inflation from January 2011 to December 2022 using an autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model, complemented by a historical contextualization of the period. The results indicate that inflation expectations are the main determinant of inflation dynamics, with statistically significant effects in both the short and long run. Exchange-rate movements are significant only in the short run, suggesting the presence of transitory pass-through effects. The output gap is also statistically significant, although with a relatively small magnitude, indicating a limited but non-negligible role for demand-side pressures. In contrast, oil prices, agricultural commodity prices, lagged inflation, and policy-related dummy variables do not exhibit statistically significant direct effects. Overall, the findings suggest that external shocks and institutional factors may influence inflation through indirect channels captured in the model, particularly via expectations, exchange-rate dynamics, and short-run adjustment mechanisms.
