    Education and health: evaluating theories and evidence
    (2006) Cutler, David M.; Lleras-Muney, Adriana
    There is a large and persistent association between education and health. In this paper, we review what is known about this link. We first document the facts about the relationship between education and health. The education 'gradient' is found for both health behaviors and health status, though the former does not fully explain the latter. The effect of education increases with increasing years of education, with no evidence of a sheepskin effect. Nor are there differences between blacks and whites, or men and women. Gradients in behavior are biggest at young ages, and decline after age 50 or 60. We then consider differing reasons why education might be related to health. The obvious economic explanations - education is related to income or occupational choice - explain only a part of the education effect. We suggest that increasing levels of education lead to different thinking and decision-making patterns. The monetary value of the return to education in terms of health is perhaps half of the return to education on earnings, so policies that impact educational attainment could have a large effect on population health.

    Bad taxation: disintermediation and illiquidity in a bank account debits tax model
    (2006) Albuquerque, Pedro H.
    This paper uses a dynamic general equilibrium model to study the economic effects of bank account debits (BAD) taxation. Australia and various Latin American countries have levied or levy BAD taxes. Aspects such as financial disintermediation, market illiquidity, and impacts on dividend and interest rates are considered. Part of the BAD tax revenue may be fictitious, due to increased interest payments on government debt. The Brazilian BAD tax (CPMF) experience is evaluated. The empirical analysis confirms some theoretical predictions. Incidence base over GDP appears to be sensitive to the tax rate, possibly engendering a Laffer curve. The tax may also cause real interest rates to increase. Furthermore, the deadweight losses are relatively large, even if revenues are small. The theoretical and empirical results suggest that the BAD tax is not adequate for revenue collection.

    International knowledge mobility
    (2008) EDUARDO CORREIA DE SOUZA; Batista, Jorge Chami
    Neste trabalho nós combinamos um modelo de vantagens comparativas Ricardianas, como em Dornbush, Fisher and Samuelson (1977), com o modelo de “escada de qualidade” de Grossman&Helpman (1991), e analisamos as conseqüências da falta de mobilidade internacional do conhecimento (através do licenciamento das tecnologias das firmas) sobre o padrão de comércio e a taxa mundial de crescimento/inovação. Nossa análise difere da de Taylor (1994) em que aqui a falta de mobilidade internacional do conhecimento irá ocasionar uma violação das vantagens comparativas que é, em si mesma, um fator de redução na taxa de crescimento. Também fazemos uma calibração grosseira do nosso modelo a fim de compará-lo com o modelo neoclássico de crescimento quanto a quão grandes são as perdas de bem-estar devido à ausência de mobilidade internacional do capital.
