“…according to Milanovic and Roemer (2016), the rise in income inequality in emerging and developing asia was mostly driven by the very high income growth rates in China and India and the economic transformation in relatively poor populous countries, such as Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia. according to López-Calva and Lustig (2010), the decline in the gini indexes of countries in Latin america is a result of the decrease in the earnings gap between skilled and low-skilled workers and an increase in government transfers to the poor (Limoeiro, 2015). Nonetheless, Darvas (2019) emphasized that institutional development towards redistribution in advanced countries, particularly in europe, influenced the dynamics of income inequality, and the situation in emerging and developing economies appears to yield the least impact.…”

This study investigates whether there is an institutional quality threshold effect on income distribution. We employ the dynamic panel threshold model developed by Kremer et al. (2013: Empirical Economics 44(2): 861–878) and a panel of both developing and advanced countries from 1995 to 2017. Our findings suggest the inequality-reducing effect of institutional quality is disproportionate. More specifically, we find two-pronged results: (i) when institutional quality is measured by World Governance Indicators, we find quadratic effect for advanced countries, but a monotonic negative effect for developing countries; (ii) when the International Country Risk Guide-based measure of institutional quality is used as the threshold variable, we find a Kuznets inverted U-shaped relationship between institutions and income inequality for both advanced and developing countries. The results also show a higher threshold value for developing countries compared to advanced economies. These results are robust to both measurement and endogeneity issues. The results have interesting policy implications for income inequality in developing economies.

“…Historically, Piauí was the most poverty-stricken region in Brazil and had been latterly fronting significant economic growth, majorly induced by the practice of large-scale export agriculture in its southwest region (Freitas, 2011;Limoeiro, 2015;Barbosa Júnior et al, 2016). The southwest region of Piauí is formed by 62 municipalities, covering 128,193 km 2 , with 33 municipalities in the Matopiba (de Silva Figueredo et al 2019;Klink & Machado, 2005).…”

In Brazil, forest conservation policies have centered primarily on the Amazon rainforest, given its significance to the actual discussion on climate change. Until 2018, and under a period of rigorous macroeconomic conditions, Brazil had successfully decreased Amazon's deforestation by strengthening national environmental policies. On the other hand, in 2015, the Brazilian government had institutionalized the Matopiba region, placed in the northeast of the Cerrado biome. In the present study, we used linear and spatial regression models to evaluate determinant factors of land-use change in the southwest region of Piauí, Brazil, placed among Cerrado and Caatinga biomes. We considered determinant factors: distribution and proportions of deforestation and significant temporary agricultural products. Our results show that the natural vegetation represented 69.68% of the total area in 2016. The distance to roads variable does not play a substantive function in defining the deforestation patterns (Coef. = − 0.03). We found that variables as distance to ports, large proprieties size, and land price significantly impact land-use transition models. Also, the study shows that protected areas have reduced the probability of deforestation in the region (Coef. = − 0.22).

“…Assim, a ineficiência de legislações específica sobre a ocupação do solo urbano em Teresina causam problemas sociais e ambientais relevantes. Um deles é a ocupação da região do Encontro dos Rios, hoje caracterizada pela presença de populações de baixa renda vivendo em ocupações irregulares, em áreas loteadas sem a devida regulamentação e sujeitas a enchentes (Reis Filho 2012, Reis Filho e Moura 2014, Limoeiro 2015).…”

Teresina, a maior cidade do estado do Piauí, é exemplo de capital do Nordeste que tem apresentado acelerado processo de desenvolvimento urbano nas últimas décadas. As tendências de urbanização da cidade mostram que uma expansão urbana acelerada tem criado problemas relacionados à ocupação de importantes áreas dos sistemas ambientais, como a região do encontro dos Rios Parnaíba e Poti, localizada na zona Centro-Norte. Neste contexto, este trabalho tem por objetivo mapear e caracterizar a ocupação urbana nesta zona, analisando ainda o tipo de ocupação predominante às margens do Rio Poti, mais especificamente no bairro Poti Velho. Foram usadas imagens dos satélites RapidEye, dados do Censo Demográfico do IBGE e visitas a campo. O mapa de uso da terra foi combinado aos dados populacionais agregados nos setores censitários de modo a fornecer novos subsídios ao planejamento urbano desta região da cidade. Os resultados mostram uma intensa ocupação urbana na zona Centro-Norte de Teresina, com regiões que apresentam altos valores de densidade populacional, e áreas de ocupação irregular na região do Encontro dos Rios.
