This paper proposes an assessment of the determinants of economic development based on the developmental theory of state proposed by Peter Evans (1995). The paper uses a longitudinal data methodology for 174 countries from 2013 to 2018 and implements different estimation techniques to identify whether variations in per capita GDP can be explained by the countries' level of autonomy and partnership. As a result, it was identified that the ability of the state to be autonomous and partner - reflected in greater property rights, freedom of investment and financial freedom - indeed positively influences the level of economic development of countries.

Purpose: This paper aims to analyze whether the adoption of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) strengthened the negative relationship among earnings management and corporate governance best practices, which are: B3’s differentiated levels of corporate governance, the presence of a board of independent directors and whether the company is audited by a Big Four or not. Methodology: We applied panel data regression with a sample of 92 companies listed in B3 during the period 2002-2007, for the period prior to IFRS and 2010-2015, for the period after IFRS. Data were collected from the explanatory notes, company reference form and in the Economatica® database. In order to measure the dependent variable earnings management, we applied the model proposed by Dechow, Hutton, Kim and Sloan (2012). Results: Results show that when there is an independent administrative committee, the levels of earnings management are lower, and this relationship is driven by the IFRS adoption. We cannot affirm that companies at the highest levels of corporate governance and audited by a Big Four have a lower incidence of earnings management after the application of IFRS. Contributions of the Study: This paper contributes to a better understanding of how variables related to governance can influence the quality of accounting and financial information. It also contributes to the literature that investigates how IFRS can influence the quality of accounting information. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Global warming is one of the most discussed topics today by society, due to its consequences for humanity, and drought is one of its results. That said, the present article analyzed the drought impact on the health dimension of Firjan Index of Municipal Development in Northeast of Brazil, during the period between 2005 and 2016. In order to achieve this result, it was used the conceptual approaches of drought, public spending, and municipal development. As methodology, this paper selected a quantitative method by using a Panel Data econometric model composed by the dependent variable IFDM_SAUDE; drought as the independent variable of interest; public spending, population and time as variables of control. To generate the indicator drought, it was used the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), created by McKee, Doesken and Kleist (1993). Thus, it was concluded that drought, public spending and time were 95% relevant regarding municipal development index with a positive impact and population with a negative impact, evidencing that the larger volume of public spending towards a policy of drought effects mitigation, the best results for municipal development in health.

Since the early 2000s, there has been a significant increase in global and North American foreign direct investment (FDI) in Latin American countries. This paper aims to analyze the influence of US FDI in Latin America, in particular, the influence of institutional factors. The estimates were using the dynamic panel data procedure. The results indicate that in addition to benefits, such as lagged FDI stock, market size, and trade opening, institutional ones such as government stability and effectiveness, and market regulatory quality have influenced the FDI stock level.

The objective of this paper is to identify the determinants of intra-industry trade (IIC) between Brazil, the European Union and China, from 2006 to 2017. For this, we used the gravitational model of trade with panel data by Least Squares. Ordinary and by Poisson Pseudo-Maximun-Likelihood (PPML). Data were collected from Comex Stat, Worl Bank and CEPII sites. Regarding the results achieved, it was found that Brazilian intra-industry trade with the European Union and China is low and showed a decrease over the analyzed period. Regarding the determinants, it was found that the cost of trade negatively affects this trade, that is, the higher the trading costs between Brazil and its trading partners, the lower the IIC tends to be between them. On the other hand, the economic size, income similarity and degree of openness of the trading partner positively affect Brazil's IIC with the analyzed partners. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Public debt studies focus on the search for socioeconomic, demographic, fiscal control, etc. determinants, and therefore simply do not inform how much management is to be performed. In this sense, the objective of this paper is to explain the formation of municipal public debt and to verify how much of this is due to the management effort, the circumstances and, finally, to the debt stock inherited from previous managements. The empirical strategy is based on a data panel for the 5,565 Brazilian municipalities between 2000 and 2016 formed from national database. Estimates were obtained from the GMM System model. The results highlight that circumstances and debt stock are the main components of municipal public debt, to the detriment of local management effort. Therefore, a new municipal management faces a scenario that limits its ability to manage its debt condition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper assesses the relevance of export incentives in Brazil from 2004 and 2011. Departing from the hypothesis that exports profitability and incentives depend not only on the level of the real exchange rate and world income, but also on potential financial income obtained from such export incentives, the study calculates implicit exchange rates by sectors. The objective is to test the hypothesis that, together with the traditional variables of an export function, it is the adjusted implicit exchange rate, not the real exchange rate, the relevant variable to explain the level of sectoral exports in Brazil. Hence, two export equations are estimated using panel data, each one contemplating one of the available exchange rates. The results show that the implicit exchange rate is indeed relevant to explain exports and stress the importance of exports incentives. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents the results of a study that aimed at analyzing the indebtedness determinants of medical cooperative Brazilian private healthcare providers (OPS) under the Supplementary Health Agency (ANS) regulation. It is a quantitative and explanatory study. The sample reports healthcare OPS 2010-2016 data which is publicly available on the ANS website. Data analysis followed these techniques: documental analysis, descriptive statistics and data panel regression. We verified that many of traditional variables employed in corporative environment were statistically significant. We also observed the significance of some variables related to regulation. This indicates that such variables influence OPS indebtedness. The main variable related to regulation in indebtedness models was OPS's size (TAM). Moreover, it is important to highlight that the variables significance level varies according to the time lag (short or long-term). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This work evaluates the role of institutions on per capita income levels (cross-section) and growth models (panel data). The cross-section results suggest that there is some evidence regarding the role of institutions since all the estimated coefficients are positive and statistically significant but there is evidence of weak instruments. The results from the panel growth models suggest that there is scarce evidence for the role of institutions in fostering long-run growth. In one word, there is no indication of an empirical consensus to claim that institutions have a primary role, meaning that institutions cause growth and difference in income levels.

Educational policies and economic growth: theory and dynamic panel data estimates. In this paper, we develop a theoretical model that considers a non-linear relationship between growth and level of education (human capital). Our econometric estimates demonstrated the causality running from human capital to GDP per capita with U inverted shape. The level of education (human capital) that generates the maximum growth rate lies around 4.5 years. The foremost implication of this result is that States with level of education below this range should have as priority educational policies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Inflation targets, monetary policy and investment. In this paper two hypotheses about the relationship between monetary policy and investment in the context of the inflation target system were tested. One of these hypotheses is based on the idea of neutrality of money, and the other hypothesis is based on the reject of that idea. An investment equation for seventeen economies using a piece-wise dummy variable was estimated by the Methodology of Panel Data. The results highlight that a negative correlation between current expectation of restrictive monetary policy and current investment rose after the inflation target system implementation.
