This paper presents a brief literature review concerning the costs and benefits of electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles, highlighting their advantages in terms of greenhouse gas emissions reductions. Even though electric and electro-hybrid vehicles must still overcome many cultural and...

This study describes the relationship between GHG emissions and a set of economics and environmental variables in the energy sector of the 27 Brazilian states, during the period 2010 to 2020. The system Generalized Moments Method (system GMM) was used to verify the influence, in particular, of...

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...

Este trabalho explora a metodologia Input-Output como uma alternativa válida para estudar interacções entre energia, ambiente e actividades económicas, tendo por desígnio a obtenção de resultados susceptíveis de apoiar estratégias e políticas que respeitem e promovam uma gestão...

The objective of this paper is to estimate the length of poverty spells and its determinants. We analyze if short-term changes in the labor market affect the probability of staying in poverty. On the assumption that poverty transitions occur more frequently when we use a monthly data rather than...

The panel data of the Brazilian Monthly Employment Survey - Pesquisa Mensal de Emprego (PME/IBGE) is actually one of the richest datasets for analysis of labor market in Brazil. The reason is its longitudinal design. Since it is only addressed to labor market investigations, its questionnaire...

Over the past two decades, poverty and income inequality declined sharply in Espírito Santo. About half of the observed reduction in poverty was due to the concomitant and also sharp drop in inequality that characterized the period under review. This sharp reduction in poverty and inequality,...
