Assumptions about how risk preferences change over levels of wealth and income are key to a wide variety of economic and financial models. For example, models of how saving behaviour respond to income uncertainty may lead to different consumption and portfolio selection plans depending on whether one's utility function is CARA or CRRA (i.e., if one's absolute and relative risk aversion ch…
Recent empirical research does not find robust effects of aid on growth. Because of possible endogeneity of aid, instrumental variables have been frequently used, but without a clear justification for the validity of the instruments chosen. Based on annual announcements of the Human Development Index, we propose a new set of instruments: the position of a country on the HDI ranking, and i…
In the late 1980s and early 1990s a series of economic policies were taken by Latin American countries to open their economy and in the hope to regain growth.

This dissertation aims to measure the effects of Mercosur in terms of trade creation and diversion, using a comprehensive database and the most modern instruments in gravity literature. In recent years, there has been a great advancement in theory and estimation of gravity equations, which helped the microfoundation of these models and the obtainment of consistent results. Our estimates s…
Based on a standard model of entrepreneurship and credit, as proposed by Evans and Jovanovic (1989), this study aims to examine the effects of taxes and credit constraints on agent's occupational choices. With this purpose, the possibility of coexistence of entrepreneurs working in the formal and informal sectors will be added to the basic model. The main difference between both sectors l…

This research project aims to study analytically and quantitatively the effects on economic growth in Brazil of trade liberalization and the creation of Mercosur in the 90´s. The quantitative analysis will rely on finely desegregated trade data using the most recent developments in the gravity literature. For institutional analysis, the objective is to look at the efficacy and efficiency …
