The role of contracts in the adoption of irrigation by Brazilian orange growers

How do transaction costs, capabilities and networks influence the procurement strategies of small agri-food firms? Evidence from the wine industry
(2022) BRUNO VARELLA MIRANDA; Ross, Brent; Franken, Jason; Gómez, Miguel
Purpose – The purpose of this study is to disentangle the drivers of adoption of procurement strategies in situations where small agri-food firms deal with constrained organizational choices. More specifically, the authors investigate the role of transaction costs, capabilities and networks in the definition of feasible “make or-buy” choices in emerging wine regions. Design/methodology/approach – This article analyzes a unique dataset of small wineries from five US states: Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, New York and Vermont. The reported results derive from both a hurdle model (i.e. a probit model and a truncated regression model) and a tobit model. Findings – The results suggest the importance of trust as a replacement for formal governance structures whenever small firms deal with highly constrained sets of organizational choices. On the other hand, the level of dependence on a limited mix of winegrape varieties and the perception that these varieties are fundamental in building legitimacy help to explain higher rates of vertical integration. Originality/value – This study is important because it sheds light on organizational constraints that affect millions of farmers across the globe. The study of “make-or-buy” decisions in agri-food supply chains has mostly relied on the implicit assumption that all organizational choices are available to every firm. Nevertheless, limited capabilities and the participation in low-density networks may constrain the ability of a firm to adopt a governance mechanism. Stated organizational preferences and actual organizational choices may thus differ.
Alternative proteins: organization of the agri-food system and sustainability outcomes
(2023) BRUNO VARELLA MIRANDA; VINICIUS PICANÇO RODRIGUES
Everybody is talking about alternative proteins. And yet, we do not know much about the socioeconomic implications of the emergence and consolidation of the alternative proteins market. In part, the gap in our knowledge is justifiable: alternative proteins represent a tiny slice of the market, and some of the most expected technological breakthroughs are still to materialize. On the other hand, the mere interest in the alternative proteins industry is a powerful driver of economic, environmental, and social changes which may deeply affect the future of traditional agriculture. Helping to shed light on this emerging industry, we discuss the relationship between the development of an alternative proteins market and sustainability outcomes in the economic, environmental, and social areas. We adopt a governance perspective, discussing first on the relationships among the many players within the alternative proteins agri-food system and then on the interactions in the broader competitive and institutional environment. We are particularly interested in outlining potential friction points and insights for research hypotheses

Latin America: Public management concepts and developments
(2022) MARCELO MARCHESINI DA COSTA; BRUNO VARELLA MIRANDA
The evolution of public administration in Latin America since the early 20th century can be described as successive attempts of modernization and adaptation to new political and socioeconomic circumstances. Much of the push for these reforms has come either from international inspirations – e.g., the “progressive movement” in the United States and the “New Public Management” arrangements – or from episodes of institutional change, which are common in a region marked by successive cycles of democratic, dictatorial, and populist regimes. Yet by the second decade of the 21st century, these multiple waves of transformation have not entirely revamped practices which are deeply embedded in the public administration of Latin American countries, such as patrimonialism, the existence of a bureaucratic culture that inhibits innovation at the public management level, and the high level of centralization in the decision-making process.
Environmental enforcement, property rights, and violence: evidence from the Brazilian Amazon
(2024) Oliveira, Gustavo Magalhães de; BRUNO VARELLA MIRANDA
Conflicts 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.
