Produção, Eficiência, Técnica E Desempenho Institucional Da Embrapa No Período 1996-2005

This article shows and analyzes the evolution of Embrapa's production model during the period 1996-2005, and its influence on the institution's performance. Using the technique of generalized method of moments and a dynamic panel data we identify contextual variables with significant association with the technical efficiency of production and the intensity of revenue generation other than National Treasury funds. We conclude that the institution responds positively in the short run to the sti...

Economic Growth, Foreign Direct Investment and International Trade: Evidence On Causality in the Mexican Economy

This paper examines both the existence of causality, in the Granger sense, and its direction between Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Exports, Imports and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Mexico.

The estimati...

The mathematical model is built upon a logistic equation. Since it is not analytically solvable, we run simulations for different scenarios, using data from Argentina....
