In this paper we discuss the evolution of labor productivity in the formal, informal and other households units sectors disaggregated by economic activity. Based on a modified shift-share that deals with the loss of additivity problem, we found that aggregate productivity grew 7% between 2001...

The present work seeks to measure for the period 2000-2019 the evolution of sectoral work productivity in production chains. To do so, we carried out an input-output matrix (IPM) exercise based on the Brazilian Annual National Accounts from 2000 to 2019 (which are currently available). In the...

This paper aims at discussing the implications of informality in Brazil by presenting new evidence on value added, occupations, and in labor productivity in the formal and informal sectors, disaggregated by economic activity. Moreover, we developed counterfactual exercises for these variables in...

There is important evidence of a recent upsurge of so-called residual inequality, i.e. wage inequality that cannot be explained by workers? observable attributes, such as schooling. The main purpose of this article is to review the intuitions and results of some of the main theoretical models...

In this work, the coefficients that relate business climate, investments and productivity are estimated based upon a panel of 81 countries in the period between 2005 and 2011. Fixed effects panel regressions (which take into account omitted variables and, as a result, time invariant country...

The aim of this work is to discuss the recent path followed by the indicators of productivity in Brazil based upon the results obtained in previous analyses and on the collection of additional data on the subject. Initially we discuss the relationship between economic growth and productivity in...

The purpose of this research was to show to what extent the problem of industrial heterogeneity is rooted in multi-scalar regional economic structures, particularly in the Brazilian Midwest from 2000 to 2010. Therefore, the technical features of the literature were used and adopted the...
