Artigo Científico Subway expansion, job accessibility improvements, and home value appreciation in four global cities: Considering both local and network effects(2022) Adriano Borges Costa; ADRIANO BORGES FERREIRA DA COSTA; Ramos, Camila; Zheng, SiqiWe explore the potential of incorporating accessibility analysis in addressing the impact of subway expansions on the real estate market. We first demonstrate that by using increases in accessibility to jobs as a continuous treatment variable, rather than adopting a binary station dummy approach, we achieve better goodness-of-fit in a quasiexperimental econometric analysis. Furthermore, accessibility measures allow the exploration of impacts beyond the local effects around new subway stations, shedding light on a network impact that has been largely overlooked to date. To increase the external validity of our findings, we apply the same analysis to the cities of Santiago (Chile), Sao Paulo (Brazil), Singapore, and Barcelona (Spain). and then explore the emergent patterns. We argue that the integration of urban economics and transportation analysis via the use of accessibility measures constitutes an innovation in the empirical approach commonly adopted in the literature. The use of such measures in causal empirical studies on transportation impacts can yield more robust and comprehensive results and capture nuanced spatial heterogeneity effects.Artigo Científico Exploring the causal effects of the built environment on travel behavior: a unique randomized experiment in Shanghai(2022) Chen, Faan; ADRIANO BORGES FERREIRA DA COSTAExperimental designs have been recognized as the gold standard for establishing causal mechanisms. However, the application of such designs is complicated by factors such as excessive costs, time consumption, ethical concerns, and political impossibility. Nevertheless, the Chinese government’s replacement housing efforts provide a unique randomized experiment for exploring the causal effects of the built environment on travel behavior. Accordingly, based on a large-scale survey on travel patterns under an experimental design in Shanghai, this study employs a two-step modeling approach, involving logit and Tobit models, to identify the built environment’s effects on auto ownership and vehicle kilometers traveled (VKT). We found that transit service improvements play a stronger role in reducing auto-drive than compact and diverse land-use characteristics. Increasing residential and employment density, as well as land-use mix, discourages car ownership, which in turn reduces VKT, but with lower elasticities than transportation system variables. The findings provide additional evidence and referential estimate for how land-use and transport strategies and policies designed to create a compact, mixed-use, and highly accessible built environment can be used in reducing auto driving. This study expands the VKT reduction elasticities’ database regarding the built environment across global spatial contexts, serving as a model for similar studies elsewhere in the world.Artigo Científico Rumo à COP30: a urgência de aterrissar e territorializar as negociações climáticas em Belém(2025) Jacobi, Pedro Roberto; Machado, Hannah Arcuschin; Broetto, Valeriana Augusta; Corradi, RodrigoA COP30, a realizar-se em novembro em Belém, é vista como um momento decisivo diante da emergência climática. Em um contexto global de retrocessos ambientais, intensificação de conflitos armados e deslocamentos forçados, o Brasil assume papel de liderança sob desafios internos e externos. O artigo discute o cenário político e climático que antecede a conferência, destacando os entraves nacionais, regionais e internacionais que ameaçam a efetividade das negociações. Argumenta-se que, embora a COP30 não resolva todas as crises, ela representa uma oportunidade crítica para avançar com mais ambição e justiça climática.Artigo Científico Indicadores e capacidades institucionais na interseção saúde-ambiente: o índice de saúde ambiental infantojuvenil como dispositivo de ação pública intersetorial(2025) Machado, Hannah Arcuschin; Menezes, Júlia Alves; Pedra, George Ulguim; Barros, Jocilene Dantas; Arcoverde, Gustavo Felipe Balué; Maluf Filho, Adalberto Felício; Guerra, Carlos Maurício da Fonseca; Ignotti, Eliane; Paula, Pedro do Carmo Baumgratz de; Moura, DaniloO artigo apresenta o Índice de Saúde Ambiental Infantojuvenil enquanto ferramenta estratégica para fortalecer as políticas públicas de saúde e meio ambiente no Brasil. Em um contexto de desigualdades territoriais e exposições ambientais que afetam desproporcionalmente crianças e adolescentes, o índice oferece indicadores organizados em três dimensões – Exposição, Contexto e Saúde – permitindo identificar vulnerabilidades e orientar políticas públicas mais equitativas e integradas para cada um dos 5.570 municípios brasileiros. Detalha-se o processo metodológico de construção do índice, fundamentado em referências nacionais e internacionais, e validado por especialistas através do método Delphi. O índice se destaca pela compilação de dados de diversas fontes e pelo potencial de uso por gestores públicos e sociedade civil. Além disso, representa um dispositivo institucional que amplia capacidades estatais e articulações intersetoriais. Conclui-se que a iniciativa contribui para o enfrentamento das desigualdades socioambientais, promovendo uma ação pública orientada à população infantojuvenil e baseada em evidências.- Analytical definitions of connectivity, incidence and node matrices for t-struts tensegrity prisms(2024) Paiva, Victor A.S.M.; Kurka, Paulo R.G.; Izuka, Jaime H.Regular tensegrity prism modules are widely used by researchers. Numerous research articles combine them to form grids and towers under various assembly strategies. Most of them define connectivity and node matrices that satisfy their structures as a whole, but a general definition for the basic modules has not been formally reported. This paper formalizes sets of definitions for the connectivity, incidence, and node matrices that are valid for any tensegrity prism formed by four struts or more. The definitions are based on geometry and provide simple and general formulations by applying floor and ceiling operators. Both clockwise and counterclockwise rotated modules are covered.
Artigo Científico Beyond the Agreement: Dilemmas in Contracting for the Transfer of Management Practices(2022) SANDRO CABRAL; SERGIO GIOVANETTI LAZZARINI; Domingos, Fernando Deodato; RICARDO PAES DE BARROSArtigo Científico Assets of foreignness in a regulated industry(2024) Santos, Leonardo Nery dos; Sheng, Hsia Hua; ADRIANA BRUSCATO BORTOLUZZOPurpose – Foreign subsidiaries incur substantial institutional conformity costs because they have to respond to host-country institutional pressures (Slangen & Hennart, 2008). The purpose of this paper is to study this type of cost from institutional and regulatory perspectives. The authors argue that these costs decrease when the host country adopts concepts of international regulations that multinationals may be familiar with due to their own home country regulation experience. This prior regulatory experience gives foreign subsidiaries an advantage of foreignness (AoF), which can offset their liability of foreignness (LoF). Design/methodology/approach – This study compared the returns on assets of 35 domestic firms with those of foreign subsidiaries in the Brazilian energy industry between 2002 and 2021, using regression dynamic panel data. Findings – The existence of a relationship between the international regulatory norm and the Brazilian regulator has transformed the LoF into an advantage of foreignness to compete with local energy firms. The results also suggest that the better the regulatory quality of the subsidiary’s country of origin, the better its performance in Brazil, as it can reduce compliance costs. Finally, the greater the psychic distance between Brazil and the foreign subsidiary’s home country, the worse its performance. Research limitations/implications – The research suggests that one of the keys to competitiveness in host countries is local regulatory ties. Prior international regulatory experience gives foreign subsidiaries an asset of foreignness (AoF). This result complements the current institutional and regulatory foreignness studies on emerging economies (Cuervo-Cazurra & Genc, 2008; Mallon et al., 2022) and the institutional asymmetry between home and host country (Mallon & Fainshmidt, 2017). Practical implications – This research suggests that one of the keys to competitiveness in host countries is local regulatory ties. Prior international regulatory experience gives foreign subsidiaries an asset of foreignness (AoF). This result complements the current institutional and regulatory foreignness studies on emerging economies (Cuervo-Cazurra & Genc, 2008; Mallon et al., 2022) and the institutional asymmetry between home and host country (Mallon & Fainshmidt, 2017). The practical implication is that the relationship between conformity costs, capital budget calculation and strategic planning for internationalization will be related to the governance quality of the home country of multinationals. The social implication is that a country interested in attracting more direct foreign investment to areas that need foreign technology transfer and resources may consider adopting international regulatory standards. Social implications – The social implication is that a country interested in attracting more direct foreign investment to areas that need foreign technology transfer and resources may consider adopting international regulatory standards. Originality/value – This research discuss firm and local regulator tie is one of core competitiveness in host countries (Yang and Meyer, 2020). This study also complements the current institutional and regulatory foreignness studies in emerging economy (Cuervo-Cazurra & Genc, 2008; Mallon et al., 2022). Second, prior regulatory experience of multinational enterprise in similar environment can affect its foreign affiliate performance (Perkins, 2014). Third, this study confirms current literature that argues that knowledge and ability to operate in an institutionalized country can be transferred from parent to affiliate. In the end, this study investigates whether AoF persists when host governments improve the governance of their industries.Artigo Científico Too much of a good thing: Accelerated growth and crime(2025) Soares, Rodrigo R.; Souza, DaniloWe document that oil-producing areas of Brazil experienced increases in crime during the period of increased economic growth driven by the 2000s oil boom. This challenges the understanding that the impact of income shocks on crime is driven primarily by the legal status of the market in question. Offshore oil production, refining, and distribution in Brazil are concentrated in large firms, without scope for income contestability. We show that various equilibrium effects of the shock—such as increased inequality, urbanization, illegal goods presence, and deterioration in public goods provision—are likely to have contributed to the increase in crime.Artigo Científico Roads, transit and spatial patterns of urbanization in São Paulo: Evidence from the second half of the twentieth century(2025) Zegras, P. Christopher; ADRIANO BORGES FERREIRA DA COSTA; Zheng, SiqiThis article presents evidence of distinct long-term impacts from road and rail infrastructures on urban outgrowth and densification in São Paulo, Brazil (1947–1997) within a Global South context. Using long-difference ordinary least squares models and an instrumental variable approach, we find that the construction of avenues and arterial roads across urbanized areas drove urban expansion and accounted for forty percent of the outgrowth during this 50-year period. In contrast, rail transit investments fostered vertical neighborhood development responsible for one-third of the increase in floor area ratio, while also promoting land use specialization by attracting commercial buildings to central areas and stimulating residential real estate development in peripheral zones. Our findings align with patterns observed in the Global North, reinforcing the broader relationship between transportation investments and urban form.Artigo Científico Global Events Demand Global Data: COVID-19 Crisis Responses and the Future of Selling and Sales Management Around the Globe(2024) Rouziou, Maria; Bolander, Willy; Karen Peesker; Hautamäki, Pia; Rangarajan, Deva; Samaraweera, Manoshi; Bullemore, Jorge; Klein, Michel; Agnihotr, Raj; Jensen, Karina Burgdorff; Fournier, Christophe; DANNY PIMENTEL CLARO; Gonzalez, Gabriel R.; Guenzi, Paolo; Kadić-Maglajlić, Selma; Lai-Bennejean, Christine; Palomino-Tamayo, Walter; Ryals, Lynette; CARLA SOFIA DIAS MOREIRA RAMOS; Salas, Jim; Shi, Huanhuan; Squire, Philip; Westphal, JörgIn the context of the global crisis presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, the authors investigate the perspectives of sales managers regarding their organizations’ responses to the crisis and future expectations in a post-COVID-19 world. While there has been much discussion about these topics in the sales literature, very little research has examined them globally by collecting data from many nations and across many continents. Yet, how can global events be understood without analyzing global data? In response, the authors convened the first, to their knowledge, global data coalition by hosting video-recorded group interviews with 76 sales executives representing 27 nations. This inductive investigation, informed by institutional logics, reveals how organizations accepted new norms, retained old ones, or blended the old with the new in response to the crisis. The results simultaneously validate certain emerging concepts on a global scale (e.g., customer success management, bricolage) and give rise to several insights not currently detailed by extant scholarship (e.g., localization, cultural cringe). This work also catalyzes new, relevant avenues for international research and sheds light on issues facing sales practice globally.
