Artigo Científico Immigration and the path dependence of education: the case of German-speakers in São Paulo, Brazil (1840–1920)(2018) Souza, Bruno Gabriel Witzel deThis article studies the path dependence of human capital accumulation in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. It focuses on the impacts of German-speaking immigrants on education through three channels: their share of the population in the nineteenth century, their on-the-job skills, and the schools they founded. Using a new dataset based on almanacs from 1873 and 1888, these effects are evaluated for the nineteenth, early twentieth, and early twenty-first centuries. The article shows that the institutionalized demand for education of these immigrants, reflected by the establishment of schools, was their main contribution to the accumulation of human capital. The effect of German schools on educational levels required a period to mature and dissipated over time. Nevertheless, its influence was substantial at the beginning of the twentieth century, affecting enrolment levels in private and state schools, a result that suggests the existence of spillover and contagion effects. Moreover, current indicators for stocks and flows of human capital in São Paulo are strongly associated with their historical levels. At the same time, this path dependence is conditional on the type of school: while a positive persistence is found for the private system throughout the twentieth century, convergence occurred in state schools.Artigo Científico When and why are consumers willing to help for-profit companies in distress?(2023) Barros, Lucia Salmonson Guimarães; Braga, Farah Diba Abrantes; Chammas, Cristiane; Costa Filho, MuriloCompanies facing financial difficulties have resorted to a novel type of appeal in their communications. Instead of promoting the benefits of their brands, they promote messages displaying the vulnerable condition they are in and ask for help. The current study examines the effectiveness of this appeal, which became more prevalent during the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors show that when companies are experiencing the threat of going out of business, the vulnerability appeal proves to be effective because of the elicitation of personal norms. For the approach to be effective, two conditions are necessary: The company’s vulnerability should come from an uncontrollable external force, and consumers should have at least some identification with the company.Artigo Científico Multi-Product Pricing: Theory and Evidence from Large Retailers(2023) MARCO ANTONIO CESAR BONOMO; Carvalho, Carlos; Kryvtsov, Oleksiy; Ribon, Sigal; Rigato, RodolfoWe study a unique dataset with comprehensive coverage of daily prices in large multi-product retailers in Israel. Retail stores synchronise price changes around occasional ‘peak’ days when they reprice around 10% of their products. To assess aggregate implications of partial price synchronisation, we develop a new model in which multi-product firms face economies of scope in price adjustment, and synchronisation is endogenous. Synchronisation of price changes attenuates the average price response to monetary shocks, but only high degrees of synchronisation can substantially strengthen the real effects of monetary policy shocks. Our calibrated model generates real effects similar in magnitude to those in M. Golosov, and R.E. Lucas, Journal of Political Economy (2007), vol. 115, pp. 171–99.Artigo Científico Coordination and expertise foster legal textualism(2022) Hannikainen, Ivar R.; Tobia, Kevin P.; Almeida, Guilherme da F. C. F. de; Struchiner, Noel; Kneer, Markus; Bystranowski, Piotr; Dranseika, Vilius; Strohmaier, Niek; Bensinger, Samantha; Dolinina, Kristina; Janik, Bartosz; Lauraityte, Egle; Laakasuo, Michael; Liefgreen, Alice; Neiders, Ivars; Próchnicki, Maciej; Rosas, Alejandro; Sundvall, Jukka; Żuradzki, TomaszA cross-cultural survey experiment revealed a dominant tendency to rely on a rule’s letter over its spirit when deciding which behaviors violate the rule. This tendency varied markedly across (k = 15) countries, owing to variation in the impact of moral appraisals on judgments of rule violation. Compared with laypeople, legal experts were more inclined to disregard their moral evaluations of the acts altogether and consequently exhibited stronger textualist tendencies. Finally, we evaluated a plausible mechanism for the emergence of textualism: in a two-player coordination game, incentives to coordinate in the absence of communication reinforced participants’ adherence to rules’ literal meaning. Together, these studies (total n = 5,794) help clarify the origins and allure of textualism, especially in the law. Within heterogeneous communities in which members diverge in their moral appraisals involving a rule’s purpose, the rule’s literal meaning provides a clear focal point—an identifiable point of agreement enabling coordinated interpretation among citizens, lawmakers, and judges.Artigo Científico Actual and counterfactual growth incidence and deltaLorenz curves: Estimation and inference(2019) Ferreira, Francisco H.

Para isso, é utilizada uma metodologia recente, que permite a obtenção das probabilidades através dos estoques de empregados e desempregos, corrigindo o viés de agregação de tempo. Verificamos que, para o período de 1983 a 2001, as oscilações da taxa de admissão foram responsáveis por 75% da variabilidade da taxa de desemprego nas principais regiões metropolitanas do Brasil. Entre 2004 e 2013 a taxa de admissão explica 80% dessas variações.Artigo Científico The Tradeoff Between Private Equity Sponsorship, Board Centrality, and Experience as Credible Signals for IPO Performance(2023) CHARLES KIRSCHBAUM; ANDREA MARIA ACCIOLY FONSECA MINARDI; Silva, Emília Borges da; Rossoni, Luciano
