“…The export revenues from soy production have contributed to an increase in the value of the Brazilian currency, which increases consumers' purchasing power in world markets. On the other hand, the appreciation of the Brazilian Real reduces the competitiveness of Brazilian manufactured goods in world markets, which may decrease employment opportunities in the manufacturing sector (Gaulard 2012).…”

In this study we assess the sustainability of the Brazilian soy industry over the past 40 years in comparison to alternative land uses. We conclude that Brazilian soy production performs as well as or better than sugarcane or cattle production in a number of areas, including macroeconomic contributions, local economic development and land use efficiency, though it involves similar tradeoffs between growth and equity, and food production and conservation. While there is no evidence that soy has reduced food security in Brazil, tax redistributions and value-added activities from soy remain limited, particularly in comparison to sugarcane production. Emerging environmental governance measures have helped to reduce the land cover impacts from soy; however, little effort has been taken to minimize the impacts of intensification.

“…In fact, real estate prices in Brazil have raised rapidly in the last few years, and some analysts have been arguing the possibility that a bubble has been inflated and could potentially burst [35,36,37,38,39]. In contrast, others argue that the pricing growth is sustainable and based on fundamentals, since Brazil was one of the fastest-growing major economies in the world in recent years with an average annual Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate of over 5 percent, which made Brazilian economy the world's seventh largest by nominal GDP by the end of 2012.…”

Risk Management Post Financial Crisis: A Period of Monetary Easing

Speculative bubbles have been occurring periodically in local or global real estate markets and are considered a potential cause of economic crises. In this context, the detection of explosive behaviors in the financial market and the implementation of early warning diagnosis tests are of critical importance. The recent increase in Brazilian housing prices has risen concerns that the Brazilian economy may have a speculative housing bubble. In the present paper, we employ a recently proposed recursive unit root test in order to identify possible speculative bubbles in data from the Brazilian residential real-estate market. The empirical results show evidence for speculative price bubbles both in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, the two main Brazilian cities.

We explain why and how the governing parties, AKP of Turkey and PT of Brazil, converged on the same path of relying on the poor as the main strategy to stay in power. With the neoliberal reorganization and internationalization of their economies, the capacity of these governments to set up developmentalist alliances with big capital, the middle classes and the organized working classes was weakened. Based on a most-different-systems design and on descriptive statistical analysis, we argue that both PT and AKP failed to build multi-class bases and thus had to mobilize the poor by using various strategies, most importantly expanding social assistance policies, which accelerated the emergence of a new welfare state.
