The aim of this paper is to assess the regional economic impact lockdown measures ordered by national government prevent spread COVID-19. Using an input–output model, we estimate loss extracting groups formal and informal workers from different sectors. Results show monthly losses that represent between 0.5% 6.1% GDP, depending on scenario considered. Accommodation food services, real estate, administrative construction trade are most affected Regionally, Antioquia, Boyacá, San Andrés,...

This paper explores the use of simulations in policy decision-making Brazilian State São Paulo fighting COVID-19 pandemic. We propose a methodology for assessing daily economic costs control strategies mitigating effects coronavirus. The method is based on partial hypothetical extraction approach to input–output systems. Simulated scenarios different levels compliance measures are used help guide design sectoral and territorial-based policies ease lockdown against coronavirus outbreak,...

This article attempts to elucidate one of the mechanisms that link trade barriers, in form port costs, and subsequent growth regional inequality. Prior attention has focused on inland or but costs can be considered as a further barrier enhancing liberalization growth. In contrast highway link, congestion at may have severe impacts are spread over space time whereas resolved within several hours. Since is part transportation network, any congestion/ disruption likely ripple throughout...

This study investigates how expanding transit catchment areas through new stations openings affects ridership and bilateral trip flows. Using the expansion of rapid network in São Paulo Metropolitan Region (SPMR) over a 10-year period, we combine household travel survey data with spatially detailed information econometric models to estimate changes behavior conditions. Our findings reveal that increases population within rail station positively influence flows, whereas BRT has no effect on...

Este trabalho analisa a convergência espacial da produtividade agrícola terra para as microrregiões brasileiras entre o período de 1991 2003. Tal análise avalia se há evidências existência beta agrícola, controlando-se explicitamente efeitos espaciais. Para tanto, conduziu-se preliminarmente uma exploratória dados espaciais, que detectou presença autocorrelação terra. Numa etapa posterior, desenvolveram-se modelos econométricos espaciais convergência.

A produtividade agrícola é marcada por padrões de localização representados pelos chamados efeitos espaciais, a saber: heterogeneidade espacial e dependência espacial. Assim, este trabalho analisa os espaciais que exercem influência sobre da terra para três momentos do tempo - 1991, 1997 2003 em nível microrregional. Para isso, implementa-se análise exploratória dados espaciais. O principal resultado mostra está crescentemente autocorrelacionada no espaço ao longo tempo. Dois clusters...

This paper uses a fully operational inter-regional computable general equilibrium (CGE) model implemented for the Brazilian economy, based on previous work by Haddad and Hewings, in order to assess likely economic effects of road transportation policy changes Brazil. Among features embedded this framework, modelling external scale economies costs provides an innovative way dealing explicitly with theoretical issues related integrated regional systems. The is calibrated 109 regions. explicit...

Structuring investment and regional inequalities in the Brazilian Northeast. Regional Studies. This paper evaluates long-run impacts of construction three oil refineries proposed for Brazil's Northeast (NE) region. A dynamic, interregional computable general equilibrium (CGE) model was developed, with 28 regions NE rest Brazil 30 sectors. The database methodology could be applied to any other country. main results refinery simulations indicate positive all regions. However, operation these...

The service sector expansion has shown to be a multiple trend process, producing distinct sectorial compositions. present paper aims make comparison between two large economies in different stages of development with an extensive (Brazil and United States), by focusing on final intermediary demand changes productivity as well. Input–output matrices for Brazil States were used applications carried out: structural decomposition analysis total factor productivity. Main results are follows....

Resumo: O presente trabalho tem por objetivo avaliar o impacto do Pronaf no PIB da economia brasileira e nos PIBs setoriais (PIB de serviços, agropecuário industrial) a partir aplicação regressão quantílica com efeitos fixos para dados em painel. Além disso, diante questão relativa à distribuição dos recursos, avaliam-se os diferentes resultados dentro contexto regional, isto é, impactos nas cinco macrorregiões País (Norte, Nordeste, Centro-Oeste, Sudeste Sul). uso modelo painel se justifica...

This paper offers some preliminary steps in the marriage of theoretical foundations new economic geography with spatial computable general equilibrium models. Modelling economy Colombia using traditional assumptions (CGE) models makes little sense when one territorial unit, Bogotá, accounts for over quarter GDP and where transportation costs are high accessibility low compared to European or North American standards. Hence, handling market imperfections becomes imperative as does need...

Este trabalho quantifica as emissões de CO 2 decorrentes do consumo combustíveis energéticos

This paper analyzes structural interdependence among Colombian departments. The results show that Bogotá has a large influence on the other regional economies through power of its purchases. Additionally, center–periphery pattern emerges in spatial concentration effects hypothetical extraction any territory. From policy point view, main findings reaffirm role played by recent polarization process observed Colombia. Any action oriented to reduce these disparities should take into account...
