The theme of economic development has always had an important role at the center of macroeconomic research, meanwhile microeconomic environment; uncertainty has its due prominence. However, few authors develop these issues jointly, although the uncertainty holds an important role in decision...

The aim of this paper is to show theoretically and empirically that undervalued real exchange rate has positive effects over economic growth on developing countries. We analyze the relationship between growth, exchange rate and productive heterogeneity by means of a Keynesian-Structuralist...

This paper analyzes the evolution of the share of imported intermediate goods in the production process and its influence on the share of manufacturing in value added for the Brazilian economy, covering the period span 1995-2008. In a first step, we estimate input-output matrices, at constant...

The aim of this paper is to evaluate the role of the manufacturing sector in the development process through the first two laws of Kaldor. The first states that the higher the growth of industrial output, more significant is the growth rate of the product of the economy as a whole. The second...

In this paper we examine from a sectoral point of view the main trends of investment in the Brazilian economy in the 2000s and its relation to value added and to imports and exports coefficients. It is argued for the existence of three expansion fronts: infrastructure, natural resources and mass...

The objective of this work was to explore energy transition trajectories in China and Latin America, indicating their synergies and potential. Starting from a description of the Energy Transition Index (ETI) and an explanation of its methodology, we sought to map the global energy transition,...

Despite the challenges for its development, the energy transition is crucial not only to achieve energy security and reduce energy dependence in politically unstable regions, but above all post- -pandemic to meet the goals established in the 2030 Agenda. In this context, countries considered...
