GERAÇÃO DE TECNOLOGIA EM UNIVERSIDADES/INSTITUTOS DE PESQUISA E A IMPORTÂNCIA DA INTERAÇÃO COM EMPRESAS: CONSTATAÇÕES ATRAVÉS DA BASE DE DADOS DOS GRUPOS DE PESQUISA DO CNPQ

The present work aims to study the relationship among technology created in universities and research institutes and their interactions with firms through available data from CNPq’s Research Groups Directory. Using a panel data model with information from the five censuses available in base, we can highlight, among another results, a highly significant and positive relationship between technology generation and interaction between agents, and the different magnitudes and direction of influence for different types of relationships, besides the positive correlation between technology generation and publications and scale of the research groups.

O ciclo do café durante a República Velha: uma análise com a abordagem de dinâmica de sistemas

The purpose of this work is to perform a systemic analysis of coffee production in Brazil in the period 1900-1930. The motivation to use system dynamics is that such methodology seems especially suitable to model processes subject to dynamic complexity, such as commodity cycles. Firstly, it will be shown that modeling and simulating the dynamics of coffee production in Brazil with this methodology enables to assess in a quantitative manner through counter-factual experiments the effects of price protection policies, which might complement the rich literature available on the subject. Secondly, it will be suggested that approaching the subject under that lens may allow the obtaining of insights on economic policy for other Brazilian important commodities beyond coffee.
