Policy Paper Does access to Starlink improve criminal capability in the Amazon?(2025) Borges, Pedro Pereira; NAERCIO AQUINO MENEZES FILHO; Komatsu, Bruno; Maturano, DimitriStarlink began its operations as a satellite-broadband internet services provider in the Brazilian Amazon in 2022; since then, forest loss drastically increased due to the spread of wildfires, despite efforts to curb deforestation. We estimate Starlink leads to a change in profile for environmental crimes, with a substitution from clear-cutting deforestation to the spread of wildfires which, seemingly, are tied to increases in deforestation by successive degradation. We find, however, little evidence for increased policing—particularly so in protected and sensitive areas, like Conservation Units and Indigenous Peoples’ Lands—, suggesting criminals successfully exploit expansion in informational infrastructure to evade lawenforcement agents, despite the apparent slowdown in deforestation.Policy Paper Electoral Impacts of Denialist Speech during a Pandemic(2025) Maturano, Dimitri; Komatsu, Bruno Kawaoka; NAERCIO AQUINO MENEZES FILHOWe examine electoral repercussions of denialist campaigns during a global pandemic, focusing on the impact of COVID-19 on the electoral performance of Brazil’s former president Jair Bolsonaro (2019 to 2022). Leveraging intercity variations in commuting costs, we develop a novel instrument, grounded in epidemiological models of transmission, capturing exogenous exposition to the virus. Our analysis reveals that municipalities with lower isolation faced higher cumulative mortality rates which, in turn, imposed significant electoral costs on Bolsonaro. We attribute these costs, which were determinant to electoral outcomes and his defeat, to voters’ perceptions of his administration’s recklessness, driven by public speeches belittling the crisis, rather than voters’ support for strict sanitary policies or a generalized tendency to penalize incumbents during crises.Policy Paper Guide to the Assessment of Socio-Environmental Impact: for Use in Impact-Oriented Projects and Investments(2022) SERGIO GIOVANETTI LAZZARINI; Setter Filho, José Geraldo; Melo, Carolina Pedrosa Gomes de; Ikawa, Jorge Norio Rezende; Barros, Octavio Augusto Darcie de; Castejon, Carolina PellegrinoPolicy Paper Employment and Inequality of Outcomes in Brazil(2012) NAERCIO AQUINO MENEZES FILHO; Scorzafave, Luiz GuilhermePolicy Paper Does the Rise of the Minimum Wage Explain the Fall of Wage Inequality in Brazil?(2016) Komatsu, Bruno Kawaoka; NAERCIO AQUINO MENEZES FILHOPolicy Paper Higher Education and GDP Per Capita in the Brazilian Municipalities(2020) Komatsu, Bruno Kawaoka; NAERCIO AQUINO MENEZES FILHO; Gandra, Pedro Jose Correa e CastroNeste artigo, investigamos se a expansão do Ensino Superior no Brasil no começo do século XXI afetou o PIB per capita de seus municípios. Nós aplicamos diferentes modelos econômicos em um painel de dados de 5559 municípios entre 2002 e 2017. Nossos resultados mostram que dobrar o número de recém-graduados em um município causa um aumento de aproximadamente 0.4% do PIB per capita três anos depois. Verificamos que a política de cotas e o ProUni (uma política pública que oferece bolsas de estudo em universidades privadas) geram ganhos de produtividade aos municípios, do mesmo modo que instituições privadas de Ensino Superior. O impacto no PIB também foi positivo para cursos nas áreas de Ciências Sociais, Negócios, Direito, Engenharia, Produção, Construção, Ciências, Matemática, Computação e Serviços.Policy Paper Reducing Poverty and Inequality during the Coronavirus Outbreak: The Emergency Aid Transfers in Brazil(2021) NAERCIO AQUINO MENEZES FILHO; Komatsu, Bruno Kawaoka; Rosa, João PedroPolicy Paper Evaluating the Impact of the Covid Emergency Aid Transfers on Female Labor Supply in Brazil(2021) Levy, Sophie; NAERCIO AQUINO MENEZES FILHOPolicy Paper The Effects of a National Policy to Reduce Elective C-sections in Brazil(2021) Melo, Carolina Pedrosa Gomes de; NAERCIO AQUINO MENEZES FILHOPolicy Paper The Behavior of Poverty and Inequality in Brazil the in Last Forty Years(2021) Palomo, Theo Ribas; Komatsu, Bruno Kawaoka; NAERCIO AQUINO MENEZES FILHO
