Working Paper Bank debit taxes: yield vs. disintermediation(2003) Kirilenko, Andrei; Summers, Victoria P.Working Paper Education and health: evaluating theories and evidence(2006) Cutler, David M.; Lleras-Muney, AdrianaThere 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.Working Paper 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.Working Paper Reconciling financial and social performance through heterogeneous business models: an empirical study of impact-oriented investors(2017) SERGIO GIOVANETTI LAZZARINI; SANDRO CABRAL; Pongeluppe, Leandro Simões; Ferreira, Luciana Carvalho de Mesquita; Rotondaro, AngélicaWorking Paper Is Meritocracy Associated with Higher Innovation? An Empirical Examination with Brazilian Firms(2012) SERGIO GIOVANETTI LAZZARINI; Barros, Henrique M.Working Paper Managing trust relationships: evidence of the purchasing perspective of agrochemical distributors(2007) DANNY PIMENTEL CLARO; PRISCILA BORIN DE OLIVEIRA CLAROWorking Paper The impact of government-driven loans in the monetary transmission mechanism: what can we learn from firm-level data?(2017) MARCO ANTONIO CESAR BONOMOWorking Paper Short-selling restrictions and returns: a natural experiment(2017) MARCO ANTONIO CESAR BONOMO; JOÃO MANOEL PINHO DE MELLO; Mota, LiraWorking Paper Loan fee dispersion and the cross-section of returns(2017) Barbosa, Fernando; MARCO ANTONIO CESAR BONOMO; Mota, LiraWorking Paper GEOGRAPHIES OF VIOLENCE:A SPATIAL ANALYSIS OF FIVE TYPES OF HOMICIDE IN BRAZIL’SMUNICIPALITIES(2015) Ingram, Matthew C.; MARCELO MARCHESINI DA COSTAObjetivos: Examinar a distribuição espacial de cinco tipos de homicídio em 5562 municípiosbrasileiros e testar o efeito de desagregação familiar, marginalização, programas de redução dapobreza, degradação ambiental e a difusão geográfica da violência.Métodos: Análise de clusters, modelo espacial autoregressivo (spatial lag), modelo de erroespacial (spatial error) e regressão geográfica ponderada (geographically weighted regression)Resultados: Mapas identificam clusters de alta e baixa taxa de diferentes tipos de homicídio. Osresultados principais das regressões espaciais mostram que algumas variáveis independentes têmefeitos uniformes e estacionários ao longo de todos os municípios, enquanto outras variáveisindependentes possuem efeitos não uniformes e não estacionários. Entre as variáveis com efeitoestacionário, desagregação familiar possui efeito nocivo para todos os tipos de homicídio, excetofemicídios, e degradação ambiental tem efeito prejudicial, aumentando as taxas de femicídio,homicídios com o uso de armas, homicídios de jovens e de não brancos. Entre variáveis comefeitos não estacionários, marginalização tem efeito prejudicial para todos os tipos de homicídio,mas representa maiores riscos para não brancos no Nordeste do Brasil; o programa Bolsa Famíliatem efeito protetor, reduzindo a maioria dos tipos de homicídio, especialmente relacionados aarmas, jovens e não brancos. Por fim, homicídios em comunidades próximas aumentam aprobabilidade de homicídios em uma determinada comunidade, o que vale para todos os tipos dehomicídio. O efeito de difusão também varia em diferentes áreas: o perigo representado pelaviolência próxima é mais forte na região amazônica e na costa leste
