Using data for the 27 Brazilian states during the period 1980-2009, we found that the media index in an important determinant of the suicide rates. The econometric results suggest that an increase of 1% in the media index increases the suicide rate for young males (age between 15 and 29 years...

Our objective is to analyze the gravity of panel attrition in the Brazilian Monthly Employment Survey (PME). There are … three types of panel attrition: a) random, that does not produce any selection bias; b) function of observables, whose bias … panel attrition bias we estimated a transition to unemployment model both with and without attrition bias controls. Our …
