Perspectivas sobre a participação política em Inglehart e Putnam: origens, aproximações e divergências

Ensayos sobre POLÍTICA ECONÓMICA

During a time of rising world interest rates, the central bank of a small open economy may be motivated to increase its own interest rate to keep from suffering a destabilizing outflow of capital and depreciation in the exchange rate. Empirically, this paper shows that this is especially true for a small open economy with a current account deficit, which relies on foreign capital inflows to fin...

Programação matemática e imersões métricas para aproximações em problemas de corte

In this work, we present a theoretical study about NP-hard optimization problems of cuts in graphs and the state of the art in approximation algorithms that use techniques of mathematical programming and of metric spaces. Three problems of cuts in graphs were modeled by integer mathematical programs and they are relaxed to admit solutions with continuous values. The solution of these programs d...

Análise comparativa de pesquisas de origens e destinos: uma abordagem baseada em Redes Complexas

In this paper, a comparative study was conducted between complex networks representing origin and destination survey data. Similarities were found between the characteristics of the networks of Brazilian cities with networks of foreign cities. Power laws were found in the distributions of edge weights and this scale free behavior can occur due to the economic characteristics of the cities.
