In this paper, we calculate for Brazil the macroeconomic aggregate called Real Gross Domestic Income (RGDI) and trading gains resulting from terms of trade changes, from 1948 to 2014. RGDI equals Real Gross Domestic Product (RGDP) plus trading gains, thus incorporating terms of trade change...

It is difficult to exaggerate the macroeconomic and political relevance of the public transfers to the private sector in the Brazilian economy. These transfers have reached 15% of GPD in the last decade. However, there are just a few papers analyzing the evolution of these transfers. Given that,...

The aim of this paper is to build the so-called RAWS/RAW method to estimate an annual series of Input-Output Tables (IOTs) in 2000 reference of Brazilian national accounts. The RAWS/RAW differs from other procedures applied to Brazil in that it is based on algorithms that optimize the use of...

This paper develops the RAWS algorithm to estimate auxiliary tables of indirect taxes and margins related to the Brazilian input-output tables (IOTs) for 2000 and 2005. We derive RAWS by an information loss minimization problem, which explores the data structure from both the IOTs and supply and...

In this paper we discuss the evolution of labor productivity in the formal, informal and other households units sectors disaggregated by economic activity. Based on a modified shift-share that deals with the loss of additivity problem, we found that aggregate productivity grew 7% between 2001...
