The Determinants of the Long Term Private Investment in Brazil: An Empyrical Analysis Using Cross-section and a Monte Carlo Simulation

Empirical studies regarding the determinants of private investment in developing countries, including Brazil, have demonstrated the high inflation’s rates negative impact on investment. However, the recent Brazilian’s experience clearly shows that stabilization is not capable of recovering investment’s rates. Therefore, the objectives of this study are: a) to analyze the long term private investment’s determinants in Bra zil; b) analyze if the Brazilian economy has been impacted by the crowding-in or crowding-out effetcs; and c) analyze the macronomic variables’ behavior during the 2012 to 2017 period. In order to do this, we used a cross section econometric analysis and a Monte Carlo Simulation for the data analysis. The paper presents the main investment theories, and recent developments of these theories, as well as how they can be applied to the Brazilian data. The results show evidences of a public investment crowding-in effect in infrastructure over the private investment. All the analyzed variables’ signs are consistent with the theory, with the exception of the real interest’s rates, where the coefficient is positive and insignificant in the estimated equation. The reduction in the credit’s volume and the existence of political and economic instabilities showed that they are harmful to private investment in the analyzed period. The implementation of public policies in order to guarantee economic stability and improve the government’s credibility, along with the increase of credit offer, could boost private investment in Brazil.

A longitudinal literature network review of contributions made to the academy over the past 55 years of the IJPR

The International Journal of Production Research (IJPR) first issue was published in 1961. This year commemorates the journal’s 55th year anniversary. In celebration of its anniversary, this article aims to comprehensively review the journals overall existence (1961–2017), per decade, by a longitudinal analysis of the literature through a main path analysis, and a bibliometric and social network overview. This paper differentiates from previous IJPR’s studies conducted by focusing on the journal’s social network analysis (SNA) by decades and overall period. This research article classifies leading bibliographic material by using the total number of publications, citations, authors per work, country, author’s affiliation, funding agencies, keywords, co-authorship and the top-10 cited papers (with objectives and contributions), over the previous five decades. In conjunction with utilising SNA, major findings indicate remarkable improvement on authors’ publication due to a strong social network. Furthermore, the results suggest that the improvement of Asian universities on the IJPR is not only a result of a strong social network among authors, but also an active support from national research funding agencies. The collaboration between researchers appears to be evidently rising by an increasing percentage of articles penned by three or more authors and the average number of authors per article published. The main path analysis identifies the 30 milestone papers which constitute the backbone of the knowledge published in the overall IJPR history.

Future Revolution in Innovation: Digitalization Reflections in the Brazilian Perspective

In 2008 the world economy faced its most dangerous crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s (Bonelli and Fontes 2013). The contagion, which began in 2007 when sky-high home prices in the USA finally turned decisively downward, spread quickly, first to the entire US financial sector and then to financial markets overseas. The casualties in the USA included (a) the entire investment banking industry, (b) the biggest insurance company, (c) the two enterprises chartered by the government to facilitate mortgage lending, (d) the largest mortgage lender, (e) the largest savings and loan and (f) two of the largest commercial banks. The carnage was not limited to the financial sector, however, as companies that normally rely on credit suffered heavily.

Logistics service quality measurement of a beverage distributor company in the state of Minas Gerais – Brazil

The objective of this article is to measure the customers’ behavioural intentions with respect to the logistics services’ quality of a beverage distributer company located in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Specifically, we intend to analyse the clients satisfaction level of logistics service quality, analyse the satisfaction level of the different segments and/or retails with respect to the logistics service quality and, to evaluate the distance interference from the sales locations with respect to the firms warehouse in terms of the offered services’ quality. A survey was applied with 492 company’s customers, where nine constructs were evaluated with respect to the logistics services quality attributes. It was certified that logistics services offered by the beverage distributor, fulfil the expectations of most of the customers, noting a strong tendency among them to recommend the company and encourage others retailers to purchase from this company, promoting the positive mouth-to-mouth marketing.

Segmentation policies using the customer equity model: a study in a Brazilian hypermarket

The objective of this study was to analyse the criteria of priority used to adopt the marketing strategies of quality, price, convenience, brand and relationship, and its adequacy towards the values that are perceived by the customers’ segments of a retailer, using the customer equity model. The methodological procedures consisted of a survey that was directed to the consumers and an analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was applied with the hypermarkets’ managers. The priority criteria for the adoption of marketing policies were based on the value equity, brand equity and retention equity constructs. The results have shown that these policies do not meet the expectations of most of the consumers, who value first the brand, followed by the retention and finally the value equity. In contrast, the managers that were interviewed still have their focus on the price as the main strategic action for the customers’ satisfaction, followed by brand and retention.

A INTERNACIONALIZAÇÃO NAS PEQUENAS E MÉDIAS EMPRESAS BRASILEIRAS: A INFLUÊNCIA DA DISTÂNCIA PSÍQUICA

Esse estudo buscou identificar quais os fatores da distância psiquica que, na internacionalizacao das organizacoes influenciam, positiva ou negativamente, os processos de negociacoes internacionais. Foi aplicado um survey, com questionarios enviados via internet as sete mil e novecentas empresas exportadoras das regioes Sul e Sudeste do Brasil. No modelo de pesquisa desenvolvido, o desenvolvimento economico teve uma relacao positiva com o valor de relacionamento e sobre o valor tempo. As diferencas socio-culturais provocaram impacto negativo sobre o valor no relacionamento, tempo e autoridade. A instabilidade socio-cultural (problemas economicos, sociais e corrupcao) teve impacto sobre o valor no tempo e valor de incerteza. Com relacao a informacao, ela atua de forma positiva em todos os construtos de valor. O relacionamento impacta, positivamente, sobre a confianca e controle. O tempo e autoridade apresentam relacoes, tambem, positivas levando a uma maior confianca e controle, por parte do exportador. Tem-se uma relacao positiva entre precaucao ao risco e confianca mostrando que se os acordos formais forem bem definidos, a confianca do exportador aumenta. O efeito negativo existente na relacao incerteza (precaucao ao risco) e controle resultam normas e procedimentos inflexiveis tornando o processo de exportacao engessado e rigido.
