“…The institutional framework in place during this period was characterized by federal government central planning. Commercial and investment activities were carried out mostly by state water and sanitation companies (SWSCs), which accounted for roughly 80% of the system, and low-cost financing provided by federal funds (Pinheiro, 2005). The Planasa was quite successful in increasing the coverage of sanitation services.…”

This article discusses the issue of water quality restoration in Guanabara Bay, a much polluted estuary, located in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, which serves as drainage basin for 11 million people. The theoretical basis for analyzing the problem is the systems approach, and the focus is on devising actions to achieve the modernization of the sanitation sector. In order to restore the bay’s water quality, specific targets measured in terms of the level of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) need to be attained. The Guanabara Bay system contains five components: decision support tools, physical infrastructure, financing, governance, and administration. The article proposes a policy approach that seeks to attend to the environmental concerns associated with the restoration of the bay’s water quality by advocating an effective governance structure able to provide sanitary services to all citizens that will also mitigate the bay’s pollution problems.

“…Rigolon (1997), Pires and Goldstein (2001), Salgado (2003), and Pinheiro (2003) agree that a major problem was derived from the fact that the government did not establish regulatory rules prior to the privatization process. Moreover, the privatization was incomplete due to fact that some large-generation electricity companies were not privatized.…”

“…Procurando melhorar a infraestrutura rodoviária brasileira, a partir da década de 1980 e, de forma mais intensificada na década de 1990, ocorreram diversos projetos de privatizações e concessões à iniciativa privada. Pinheiro (2003) observa que, entre 1992 e 2001, foi um período de mudanças significativas no setor de infraestrutura brasileiro.…”

Este trabalho tem por objetivo analisar os contratos de concessão de praças de pedágio existentes no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul no período de 1998 até 2012, utilizando as informações obtidas do Relatório de Acompanhamento do Programa Estadual de Concessão Rodoviária do Rio Grande do Sul (PECR-RS). Para atingir tal meta, emprega-se o modelo de simulação proposto por Ng et al. (2007), o qual utiliza o procedimento de simulação de Monte Carlo, que permite inserir as informações contratuais, de modo a visualizar um possível comportamento das empresas durante a execução dos mesmos. Em suma, os resultados encontrados indicam que, para as praças analisadas com a taxa interna de retorno sendo aquela considerada no projeto básico de exploração, o tempo ótimo simulado foi igual ou menor do que aquele acordado contratualmente. Deve-se destacar que os contratos apresentados pelas concessionárias Rodo Sul e Santa Cruz seriam economicamente inviáveis dentro deste período de tempo.
