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.

This paper aims to analyze the limits of the unidisciplinary approach to public administration and organizational studies and the development of the inter-, multi- and transdisciplinary approaches in the field. The adopted methodological strategy is structured in two stages. The first consists of a theoretical analysis of the subject in which discipline is conceptualized, the advantages and the limitations of uni-, inter-, multi- and transdisciplinary approaches are theoretically explored, and an analysis of the fields of public administration and organizational studies is carried out. The second stage consists of an empirical study in which the advantages and the limitations of the uni-, inter-, multi- and transdisciplinary approaches are investigated. The empirical study is conducted in the divisions of Public Administration and Social Management, and Organizational Studies of the National Association of Postgraduate Studies and Research in Admnistration Meeting (EnANPAD). It can be concluded that these EnANPAD divisions prioritize, with some difficulty, the unidisciplinary approach, and present interand multidisciplinary approaches without systematization. Thus, the divisions are unable to benefit from possibilities or overcome limitations of the various approaches to disciplinarity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to analyze the concepts and images constructed by health professionals regarding the Brazilian health public policy (SUS). They were studied hundred professionals which worked in five public health institutions in Rio de Janeiro. The contents of semi-structured interviews were submitted to the crossing technique of lexical analysis provided by ALCESTE 4.7 software. Results evidenced the following definitions associated to the SUS: a normative and ruling organ law for health actions; an advanced model of health care; a health security plan for facilitate access to health services; an integrated health system to assist the population; an unique and equalitarian system of health care; a citizen's right and a state's duty; a system that does not generate the products that it should. The concepts associated to the SUS involve both objective knowledge and subjective constructions by the professionals' group. Nevertheless, its understanding and definition by the social subjects does not follow the same unity that is present in its philosophical proposal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article analyses the emergence of organizations that originated Embraer Corp., i.e., the Ministry of Aeronautics, the Aeronautics Technological Center and the Aeronautics Technological Institute, founded in the 1940's and 1950's. This paper analyses the Embraer's involvement with the Aeronautics' national defense strategic project. This strategic project of the officials of the Brazilian Air Force was tied to the problematics of the national security and was connected with the spacious commitment of the soldiers in the political Brazilian process. In this sense, Embraer resembles the oil producing and iron and steel industries, which also disposed of active participation of the soldiers in the installation. The strategical project, from which later on the foundation of Embraer was derived, prioritized the formation of human resources of high level, capable of not only absorbing the technological knowledge that appeared in the form accelerated in the international scenery, but also of looking for solutions appropriate to the national context. This was at a time where Brazil was characterized for a predominantly agricultural economy and, therefore, highly dependant of the industrialized arrived products from abroad.
