This project seeks to develop estimation and inference of quantile regression with measurement error models. We shall propose a semiparametric easy to implement two-step estimator under the assumption of repeated measures. The asymptotic properties of the estimator will be derived, namely, consistency and weak convergence. We shall also develop practical statistical inference procedures. …
Recent studies show the existence of a dynamic component in the urban wage premium (Glaeser and Mare, 2001; De La Roca and Puga, 2016; Baum-Snow and Pavan, 2012), i.e., workers experience faster wage growth in big cities. We intend to understand the causes of this stylized fact using Brazilian data. We consider three explanations that can rationalize these results, two of them based on ag…
The objective of this project is to construct a consistent estimator that addresses the problem of sample selection in unconditional quantile models. The proposed approach is based on three steps: (i) estimation of a control function using a logistic distribution regression; (ii) construction of a counterfactual distribution of the latent dependent variable using the previously estimated …
Fast urban growth in emerging countries calls for deeper understanding about increasing interaction between formal and informal housing and allocation of space to each of them. As cities expand towards its fringes and get denser at these areas, the frontiers between these two markets get closer and closer, resulting in greater dispute for the remaining land plots and increasing real estat…
The theme of electoral competition and its implications for the formulation of public policies is widely debated in the literature of Political Economy. In particular, the Brazilian municipal electoral competition becomes relevant, because the 1988 Constitution establishes that Brazilian municipalities have the autonomy to decide which public policies to implement and are responsible for …
In the last decades, many economies, including the Brazilian one, faced a growth of health spending as a relation to GDP. While increasing spending has brought many benefits, financing these expenditures creates concerns and fiscal consequences for both public and private sectors. In many economies, the public sector dominates health-spending financing. However, even in these economies, t…
In this project, we propose to explore a particularity of the Brazilian industrial policy on the computer sector to investigate whether technological change, as implied by the massive adoption of computer technology in the labor market, alters the way by which tasks are priced and, ultimately, the distribution of work earnings. With the end of the market reserve policy in 1991, labor mark…

Our research focuses on the relationship between real estate markets and evictions of informal settlements in cities. We investigate how poor enforcement of land property rights combined to rising real estate value can contribute to the use of alternative violent solutions, such as fires, in land property rights disputes. Based on the literature on evictions and on anecdotal evidence on t…
This project proposes a new methodology for both testing for imbalances and estimating the average treatment e¤ect parameter (ATE) controlling for the bias that might arise if within strata randomization was not properly performed. In that sense, our results are expected to facilitate the task of applied researchers that have become more involved with research designs. Finally, a great ad…
