Rawlsian Land Reform with Human Capital: A Social Inclusion Process for the Landless ‘Underdog’. Focusing on the concept of Rawlsian-welfare-analysis, we evaluate land reform in a context of human capital. This theoretical and conceptual analysis is applied to the question of equity and social inclusion: our model previews that latifundia will be divided creating either mesofundia or microfundia. The way the social optimum is achieved, and the way we express the social welfare function is new. 2017. de Sousa, Miguel; Filipe, José. http://ojs.excelingtech.co.uk/index.php/IJLTFES/article/view/Rawls. "Don´t do Land Reform: a simple theorem". We assess the general impact of land reforms on growth using human capital growth models due to Arrow (1962) - the main newness of the paper- after surveying the literature and building a typology. Thus, we conclude that land reform can yet been used as a modern tool to spur growth and development, but with our approach we can define the main limits and constraints that can block this growth.

A macro-physics model of depreciation rate in economic exchange. This article aims at a new approach for a known fundamental result: barter or trade increases economic value. It successfully bridges the gap between the theory of value and the exchange process attached to the transition from endowments to the equilibrium in the core and contract curve. First, we summarise the theory of value; in Section 2, we present the Edgeworth (1881) box and an axiomatic app. 2014.

Corruption in Northeast Brazil: A qualitative approach for socio-economic development. This study starts from a literature review on corruption, departing from its ancient roots, going to its modern prevalence and perception. We focus our approach on the NE Brazil region. The main contribution is that it is the first qualitative approach which assesses corruption specifically in the NE Brazil.

Resumo: A crise das dívidas soberanas na zona Euro colocou em causa o modelo de integração monetária e a sua arquitetura. As manifestações de fragilidade de alguns países periféricos, devido ao endividamento público e privado e à perda de competitividade, estiveram na base de planos de resgate financeiro daqueles países.

A measurable qualitative approach to Sen's discourse on development. This paper assesses the different concepts of development along the work one of the major thinkers on the field: Amartya Kumar Sen, the Nobel Kerala Indian born economist. More than a philosophical approach, a clear cut and precise method of analysis is used – we recurr to qualitative analysis of discourse using software for building categories in Sen’s thought.

Some General Theory about Land Reforms with a Latin American Case. First we define a typology of land reforms throughout history, recurring to a politico economic approach, making a survey of this event. Then, we define a general setting, a theoretical framework (matrix), for socio-economic achievements of land reforms. Then we assess the role of land reforms in the recent past (1980s onwards) in Latin America, defining particularly the case-study of Brazil, wher. 2013.

A herança de Maastricht: das suas condicionantes às perspetivas de sustentabilidade da UEM a longo prazo. ABSTRACT: This article aims to inquire about the conditioning reasons on the Maastricht Treaty on the EMU. Taking as a reference the warnings raised by economic theory at the time (in particular, the optimal currency areas referential, e.g. Mundell, McKinnon), we try to understand whether the policy choice made has been the most correct one. We raise the hypothesis on the existence of a political. 2012. Valente, Isabel. http://www.europe-direct-aveiro.aeva.eu/debatereuropa/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=29&Itemid=17. Political leadership change: A theoretical assessment using a human capital “learning by doing” model. This article presents an economic growth model with human capital, based upon Arrow(1962), which evaluates the impact of political leadership change either in governments or political parties. The change of leadership might be seen as a change in embedded human capital, and thus we might evaluate the loss or gain for society due to these political activities.
