Fundamentos em processamento de linguagem natural: uma proposta para extração de bigramas
(2014)
É senso comum que o texto escrito é uma importante forma de registrar as informações e que atualmente grande parte desse conteúdo informacional está disponível em meio digital. Entretanto, de maneira geral, os computadores ...
On the effects of non tariff measures on Brazilian exports
(2015-06)
This article proposes an alternative methodology for estimating the effects of non-tariff measures on trade flows, based on the recent literature on gravity models. A two-stage Heckman selection model is applied to the ...
The BRICS: some historical experiences, growth challenges and opportunities
(FGV Crescimento e Desenvolvimento, 2015-05)
The acronym BRICS was a fad among the media and global investors. Now, the acronym sounds passé. However, the group of countries remains important, from both political and economic reasons. They have a large aggregate size, ...
Multistep stochastic mirror descent for risk-averse convex stochastic programs based on extended polyhedral risk measures
(EMAp - Escola de Matemática Aplicada, 2016)
We consider risk-averse convex stochastic programs expressed in terms of extended polyhedral risk measures. We derive computable con dence intervals on the optimal value of such stochastic programs using the Robust Stochastic ...
Citizens and the future of multilateralism in a polycentric world at 2030: the perspectives of emerging countries for the trading system: the impasse of WTO, the trends of mega agreements, the logic of value chains and the advent of consumers concerns on international trade
(2015)
A new paradigm is modeling the World: evolutionary innovations in all fronts, new information technologies, huge mobility of capital, use of risky financial tools, globalization of production, new emerging powers and the ...
The impact of market power at bank level in risk-taking: The Brazilian case
(Elsevier Inc., 2014)
This paper seeks to examine the competitive behavior of the Brazilian banking industry by conducting an analysis at the level of individual banks to gain an understanding of how the risk-taking behaviors of banks are ...
Organizational slack as an enabler of internationalization: The case of large Brazilian firms
(Elsevier Ltd, 2018)
In this paper, we address an empirical puzzle. We note that a deliberate and serious drive to internationalize has occurred rather late in the evolution of large Brazilian firms. Meanwhile, and despite their late ...
Joint dynamic probabilistic constraints with projected linear decision rules
(EMAp - Escola de Matemática Aplicada, 2016)
We consider multistage stochastic linear optimization problems combining joint dynamic probabilistic constraints with hard constraints. We develop a method for projecting decision rules onto hard constraints of wait-and-see ...

Convergence analysis of sampling-based decomposition methods for risk-averse multistage stochastic convex programs
(EMAp - Escola de Matemática Aplicada, 2016)
We consider a class of sampling-based decomposition methods to solve risk-averse multistage stochastic convex programs. We prove a formula for the computation of the cuts necessary to build the outer linearizations of the ...
Entre malucos e milicos: etnografia, estereótipos familiares e papel da mulher nas relações de cuidado
(CPDOC - Centro de Pesquisa e Documentação de História Contemporânea do Brasil, 2015)
Com base em etnografias desenvolvidas com pacientes psiquiátricos e com oficiais do exército, este artigo discute representações sociais sobre família, a partir de um enfoque epistemológico. Neste contexto, as discussões ...
On the evolution of total factor productivity in Latin America
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013-01)
Because of several policy distortions, including import-substitution industrialization, widespread government intervention, and both domestic and international competitive barriers, there has been a general presumption ...
Non-asymptotic confidence bounds for the optimal value of a stochastic program
(EMAp - Escola de Matemática Aplicada, 2016)
We discuss a general approach to building non-asymptotic confidence bounds for stochastic optimization problems. Our principal contribution is the observation that a Sample Average Approximation of a problem supplies upper ...
Governance and networks for health co-benefits of climate change mitigation: Lessons from two Indian cities
(Elsevier Ltd, 2016)
Health has been the main driver for many urban environmental interventions, particularly in cases of significant health problems linked to poor urban environmental conditions. This paper examines empirically the links ...
A Numerical method for the semilinear stochastic transport equation
(EMAp - Escola de Matemática Aplicada, 2015)
We propose a new numerical method for the computer simulation of the semi-linear transport equation. Based on the stochastic characteristic method and the Local Linearization technique, we construct an effi cient and stable ...
Estimating Brazilian monthly GDP: a state-space approach
(FGV Crescimento e Desenvolvimento, 2015-07-10)
This paper has several original contributions. The rst is to employ a superior interpolation method that enables to estimate, nowcast and forecast monthly Brazilian GDP for 1980-2012 in an integrated way; see Bernanke, ...
A China como membro da OMC e líder das exportações mundiais: desafios e oportunidade para o Brasil
(7o Fórum de Economia da Fundação Getúlio Vargas, 2010-08)
O objetivo deste artigo é analisar a evolução do papel da China na OMC, os compromissos assumidos no seu processo de acessão à organização, bem como seus interesses na Rodada de Doha de negociações internacionais do comércio. ...
The long term effects of Bolsa Família on child labour and school enrolment
(FGV Crescimento e Desenvolvimento, 2015-05-14)
In this paper we study the e ects of conditional cash transfers in school enrolment and tackling child labour. We develop a dynamic heterogeneous agent general equilibrium model, where households face a set of tradeo s ...
O desenvolvimento econômico brasileiro no pós-guerra
