The study analyzed the growth of agricultural activity in the Amazon region and the consequent increase in deforestation. In addition, it was investigated whether the difference in land productivity observed in agriculture in the region of the Legal Amazon can be justified by low efficiency and,...

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...

This study aims to analyze the distributional effects of carbon pricing in Brazil. The subject has gained importance with initiatives such as the PMR Brazil Project and RenovaBio, but discussions have been limited to the possible loss of competitiveness of national products. Thus, scenarios...

This paper seeks the elaboration and application of a quantitative measurement for technology in Brazilian manufacturing during 2000-2016. The results have showed stability of the proposed technological indexes and an intensive technological development of the Brazilian manufacturing during...

The goal of this paper is to identity the sectors with the greatest potential to contribute to reducing electricity consumption. To this end, we apply the analysis consumption multiplier and the structural decomposition on the hybrid Input-Output Matrix between which combines data from the...

This paper aims to analyze the impact of an improvement in income distribution on energy consumption in Brazil, based on structural decomposition techniques. For this purpose, hybrid input-output matrices are constructed to associate the evolution of national accounts with the national energy...
