This paper studies the determination of the surpluses of the Brazilian central government. For quarterly data from 1996 through 2011, the empirical strategy included: i) structural break models and nonlinear estimates on the level of public debt, to handle the inertia after 1999, for high levels...

This text details the technical procedures used in the construction of a panel data base of public servants and employees and military personnel working in the public administrations of Brazilian States. Six sets of procedures are presented. The first set deals with the extraction of the raw...

This paper investigated the usage of artificial intelligence and text mining techniques for classification of court judgments and discussed potential alternative applications in formulation and evaluation of public policies. Besides, we built a survey of studies related to Jurimetry based on the...

This paper verified the predictive performance of probabilistic record linkage algorithms for the integration big sized real databases, evaluating the effects of the blocking key definition, as well as string metric functions and phonetic code pairing algorithms with respect to the prediction's...

Portuguese Abstract: Os esportes no Brasil e no mundo são fontes de emprego e renda. Apesar de ser o esporte mais popular no país e possuir torcedores diversos, os clubes de futebol não participam no mercado de ações brasileiro. Observando este fato, a pesquisa identificou o grau de...

In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, governments mobilized scientists to help them design, implement and evaluate policies. These scientists analysed the available scientific evidence and worked to incorporate it into policies, being in this way an essential interface between governments and...

In this paper, we present some models to analyze the impacts of surface transportation logistic costs on importers and exporters decisions on which ports to choose for foreign trade operations. We employed a technique based on fractional split distributions, in which the dependent variable...
