Wind power generation is essential to reduce the use of fossil resources and, consequently, the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG). Currently, the National Interconnected System (SIN) has about 9971 wind turbines in operation, the sixth largest network in the world ranking, and 80% of Brazilian...

This paper applies the dynamic linear model (DLM) estimated based on the Bayesian approach to project electricity consumption for five Brazilian regional units. The appeal for the use of DLM in the case of energy consumption is due to the fact that in this model the adjustment occurs in the unit...

This paper uses meta-analysis to investigate job creation, job destruction, and job reallocation among 62 studies for 35 countries for the period 1963-2007. The analysis aimed to clarify some stylized facts from the literature about the topic such as the differences among industrial and service...

The goal of this paper is to evaluate the results of regional economic growth estimates at multiple spatial scales using spatial panel data models. The spatial scales examined are minimum comparable areas, micro-regions, meso-regions and states over the period between 1970 and 2000. Alternative...

This text presents the main points of the debate about the mechanisms of attraction and facilitation of foreign direct investment. Recently several countries have questioned the traditional model of investment agreements. One of the remarkable dimensions in the agenda of several multinational...
