Artigo Científico Environmental enforcement, property rights, and violence: evidence from the Brazilian Amazon(2024) Oliveira, Gustavo Magalhães de; BRUNO VARELLA MIRANDAConflicts over resources with poorly defined property rights have fuelled both deforestation and violence in the Brazilian Amazon. However, what happens when the State enhances its ability to monitor and enforce existing environmental laws? We study the case of the list of Municípios Prioritários, a policy that allocates additional resources to verify compliance with environmental laws in municipalities with high deforestation rates. Employing a difference-in-differences approach, our findings suggest that an improvement in the ability of the State to monitor and enforce environmental laws can reduce conflicts over the appropriation of value from resources with poorly defined property rights. Consistent with existing studies, we also find that the policy led to a reduction in deforestation rates in the Brazilian Amazon. Finally, we discuss the limitations of the current approach to curb violence in a region where the activity of mafias has considerably grown since the turn of the twenty-first century.Artigo Científico Urban Performance: A Systematic Literature Review Performance urbana: una revisión sistemática de la literatura sobre estudios urbanos(2024) Beck, Donizete; Ferasso, MarcosThe focus here is to explore and organize the literature of urban studies on urban performance and the main indicators used. This study applies a literature review analysing a sample of 47 papers gathered from the Scopus database. All of the selected papers are concerned with urban studies, urban management, and urban planning. This study provides a guide for scholars and practitioners containing the main indicators used for measuring urban performance and how they can effectively explore those indicators to produce better research and policies. Findings reveal a synthesis of the most used indicators for measuring the urban performance of the mainstream approaches in urban studies (socioeconomic and demographic; environmental; smart cities; urban design, built environment, and territory; public administration, government, and governance; energy efficiency; sustainability and sustainable development; transportation and mobility; benchmarking; and global cities). Also provided are how these indicators can be better explored by scholars and practitioners. The social and managerial contributions of this paper lie in its synthesis of urban performance indicators, which can be useful for scholars to improve their research as well as to enable urban planners and managers to work more efficiently with urban policies and thus improve the desired urban performance for one or various approaches.
