    Covered Interest Rate Parity on Latam Markets
    (2022) Saito, Lucas Kenji
    This study analyses the deviations from Covered Interest Parity (CIP) in most developed markets in Latin America (Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Mexico). Seeking for similarities between the countries’ basis behavior the correlation was not found. All the countries have high volatility on the basis, with Colombia statistically holding the CIP for a band and Brazil with a persistent high mean deviation. On the macro-financial determinants, broad Dollar strength shows relevance on the deviations, but the impact on each country differs. The local interest rate spread with the funding currency (USD) interest rate is the factor that affects all the countries similarly. Although both of these factors show relevance within other emerging and developed markets, not being exclusive to the region. The lack of correlation between the deviations and the risk factors not explaining the countries similarly may indicate that regional factors are less relevant, being idiosyncratic factors more important.

    Business cycles, 𝐂𝐎𝟐 emissions, and Pigouvian taxes
    (2022) Kury, Felipe
    This paper uses the Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) model featuring a variable that captures energy produced from fossil fuels, in an economy with carbon tax applied under two tax rules scenarios: Laissez-Faire and Pigouvian tax rules. An externality, representing the energy produced from fossil fuel, is introduced in the baseline Real Business Cycle (RBC) model. Because of the added externality, an inefficient allocation takes place, and a Pigouvian tax rule is implemented as policy tool to manage overall fossil fuel energy consumption and effects. The study also explores the influences on macroeconomic aggregates under the two tax regimes proposed. Furthermore, the study provides an analysis of outcomes for both scenarios under two different shocks: Total Factor Productivity (TFP) and Price of energy produced from fossil fuel – Prices of WTI Crude Oil (West Texas Intermediate – US base Crude Oil) were used as a proxy to simulate price shocks on fossil fuels. Finally, the study shades a light on climate policies influence on outcomes over the business cycle and types of shock that matters for policy preference, it concludes with insights about the Pigouvian Tax implementation.

    Covid-19 and bank deposits in Brazil
    (2022) Carvalho, José Maria Ferreira Botelho de
    This paper explores several perspectives on the surge in bank deposits experienced in Brazil during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using branch-level data on bank deposits, I test if the growth of each of the analyzed deposits (saving, demand and term deposits) and of total deposits are related to a higher county exposure to the pandemic or a higher incidence of cash transfers of the program “emergency financial aid”. I also study the importance of systemically important banks on the growth of deposits.

    The effects of female representation on organizational performance: Evidence from the São Paulo State Military Police
    (2022) Vecchio Junior, Jacintho Del
    A teoria da burocracia representativa postula que o aumento da representação de grupos desprivilegiados na burocracia estatal (representação passiva) levará a melhores resultados para essas populações (representação ativa). Além disso, a representação passiva pode aumentar a confiança do cidadão nas autoridades públicas quando indivíduos desprivilegiados percebem que estão devidamente representados (representação simbólica). Este trabalho pretende testar os efeitos da melhoria da representação feminina no desempenho organizacional em organizações públicas, usando para isso o caso da Polícia Militar do Estado de São Paulo. O estudo adota uma abordagem quantitativa e faz uso de efeitos fixos de dados em painel e modelos de Diferença em Diferenças (DiD) para avaliar os efeitos da representação feminina (seja na liderança ou pela maior participação no policiamento) nos registros de crimes. Constatamos que a representação feminina na Polícia Militar, juntamente com as estruturas auxiliares de prevenção à violência contra a mulher (Delegacias da Mulher) aumentam as denúncias de estupro e reduzem os homicídios contra a mulher. Os resultados são válidos ao empregar especificações de DiD que avaliam os efeitos da representação feminina antes e após intervenções exógenas (legislação local promulgada para prevenir a violência contra a mulher). No geral, os resultados sugerem que a representação feminina não apenas melhora o desempenho da polícia em favor da população feminina, mas também promove a equidade social.
