Última Regional Short Run Effects of Trade Liberalization in Brazil 31 Bittencourt, Maurício Vaz Lobo; Larson, Donald W.; Kraybill, David S.. This study evaluates the regional short run impacts of reduction in import tariffs in Brazil on poverty and distribution of income related to recent free trade area agreements. Results show that trade can reduce inter-regional income inequality, but poor urban households lose with trade liberalization.

Ano: 2005 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/19132 CONSEQUENCES OF TRADE LIBERALIZATION ON POVERTY AND INCOME DISTRIBUTION IN BRAZIL 31 Bittencourt, Maurício Vaz Lobo; Kraybill, David S.; Larson, Donald W.. This study evaluates the regional short run impacts of reduction in import tariffs in Brazil on poverty and distribution of income related to recent free trade area agreements. Results show that trade can reduce inter-regional income inequality, but poor urban households lose with trade liberalization. In order to compensate welfare losses for the poor, this study designs and evaluates a combination of trade and tax policies, which effectively contributes to improve welfare for poor urban households.

This study analyzed the influence of structural change on GDP convergence in Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay (ABU) in the context of a Keynesian model with balance of payments constraints. Empirical evidence suggested that income and structural convergence were associated in the post-II World War period. The differences in industrial and economic policies in ABU may have contributed to explain the intensity of the process of structural change in these countries. ABU exhibited a different ability to reshape their institutions with a view to encouraging industrial transformation. The Brazilian industrial policy seems to have been more efficient in promoting structural convergence. Tipo: Conference Paper or Presentation Palavras-chave: Institutional and Behavioral Economics.

This study estimates a cross-sectional model through a theoretically consistent Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) to examine the economic and demographic determinants of food consumption patterns in Japan over life-cycle periods. Results show key factors that explain such behavior, including family size, number of children, lifestyle and health concern.

Ano: 2004 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/20070 THE POTENTIAL FOR FINANCIAL SAVINGS IN RURAL MOZAMBICAN HOUSEHOLDS 31 Amimo, Oliveira; Larson, Donald W.; Bittencourt, Maurício Vaz Lobo; Graham, Douglas H.. Many policy makers and businesses erroneously believe that rural populations, particularly in Africa, have no margin for savings over consumption needs. This study examines the potential for financial savings in rural Mozambican households by looking at the determinants of savings behavior. An econometric model for a household's saving behavior was estimated using data from 113 rural households from Nampula province in Mozambique. Results indicate that income, physical wealth, household size, and years of schooling affect a household's savings behavior. The study also finds that Mozambican rural households use their own grassroots associations for many financial services due to the lack of access to formal financial intermediaries.

Ano: 2003 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/25921 DOES THE STOLPER-SAMUELSON THEOREM HOLD WITH LESS TRADE DISTORTION?: A COMPUTABLE GENERAL EQUILIBRIUM 31 Bittencourt, Maurício Vaz Lobo. This paper examines the effects of agricultural trade policy changes in the Brazilian agriculture using CGE model. An extended Salter-Swan model is employed to verify if the Stolper-Samuelson theorem holds and the consequences in terms of prices, production and resources allocation. Results show that the Stolper-Samuelson hypothesis is reversed when imports and domestic goods are poor substitutes. The reduction in the import tariff increases national income, implying that inappropriate trade policy adjustments can stand in the way of promoting rapid and equitable growth of the economy. Tipo: Conference Paper or Presentation Palavras-chave: Stolper-Samuelson theorem; CGE model; Trade distortion; Brazilian agriculture.; International Relations/Trade. Ano: 2003 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/22173 An Examination of the Impacts of Exchange Rate Volatility on Sectoral Trade in the Mercosur 31 Larson, Donald W.; Bittencourt, Maurício Vaz Lobo; Thompson, Stanley R.. This study captures the lack of macroeconomic policy coordination among Mercosur countries, through the impact of real bilateral exchange rate volatility on trade. A sectoral gravity model is estimated under two different measures of exchange rate volatility. Results show that the reduction in exchange rate volatility can increase bilateral trade.

Ano: 2005 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/19572 PRESENCE OF STOCHASTIC ERRORS IN THE INPUT DEMANDS: ARE DUAL AND PRIMAL ESTIMATIONS EQUIVALENT? 31 Bittencourt, Maurício Vaz Lobo. This study verifies the primal and dual approaches in presence of stochastic errors in output and input demands, and policy implications when such errors are not taken into account. A data set based on a representative agent behavior is created through Monte Carlo simulation and used to estimate econometrically the primal and dual functions associated to the technology chosen. Results show that both formulations are unbiased, consistent, and efficient. No consideration of these errors can lead to wrong policy recommendations in a productive sector. Any kind of policy created to improve the total production of a particular sector has to consider the issues so far discussed to avoid such bias problems and inefficiency before be applied to the real world.
