Direito do Agronegócio, Sustentabilidade e Comércio Exterior
“O agronegócio tem se consolidado como o setor mais dinâmico e próspero da economia brasileira, aumentando, ano após ano, o percentual da sua participação no produto interno bruto (PIB) do país; nos empregos, diretos e indiretos, gerados pelas diversas cadeias produtivas que o compõem; e no valor total das vendas externas do Brasil. Trata-se, também, de um setor que reflete as complexidades brasileiras: inovação, eficiência e alta competitividade (ainda) convivem com falta de infraestrutura, burocracia, problemas fundiários e fome para determinada parcela da população, sem falar nos desafios e enormes oportunidades ambientais ainda não corretamente compreendidas, comunicada...
Agronegócio sem fronteiras
A ideia por trás da obra Agronegócio sem Fronteiras foi, de um lado, criar uma fonte de pesquisa e referência de estudos sobre temas atuais e controversos nas áreas de gestão, finanças, contabilidade, crédito, regulação e tributação, encadeados e organizados de forma a tornar a leitura mais objetiva, assim como, de outro, destacar que o agronegócio é setor muito maior e mais forte que qualquer questão política ou ideológica, não se rendendo a grupos de interesse, regionalismos ou captura.
A Unified Model of Cohort Mortality for Economic Analysis
We propose a dynamic production function of population health and mortality from birth onwards. Our parsimonious model provides an excellent fit for the mortality and survival curves for both primate and human populations since 1816. The model sheds light on the dynamics behind many phenomena documented in the literature, including (i) the existence and evolution of mortality gradients across socio-economic statuses, (ii) non-monotonic dynamic effects of in-utero shocks, (iii) persistent or “scarring” effects of wars and (iv) mortality displacement after large temporary shocks such as extreme weather.
Luis Frois: First Western Accounts of Japan's Gardens, Cities and Landscapes
This book focuses on Luis Frois, a 16th-century Portuguese Jesuit and chronicler, who recorded his impressions of Japanese gardens, cities and building practices, tea-drinking rituals, Japan’s unification efforts, cultural traditions, and the many differences between Europe and Japan in remarkable manuscripts almost lost to time. This research also draws on other Portuguese descriptions from contemporary sources spanning the years 1543 – 1597, later validated by Japanese history and iconography. Importantly, explorer Jorge Alvares recorded his experiences of discovery, prompting St. Francis Xavier to visit Japan in 1549, thus ushering in the “Christian Century” in Japan. During this ...
Health Econometrics
This volume covers a wide range of existing and emerging topics in applied health economics, including behavioural economics, medical care risk, social insurance, discrete choice models, cost-effectiveness analysis, health and immigration, and more.
Plant-Animal Interactions
This textbook provides the first overview of plant-animal interactions for twenty years focused on the needs of students and professors. It discusses a range of topics from the basic structures of plant-animal interactions to their evolutionary implications in producing and maintaining biodiversity. It also highlights innovative aspects of plant-animal interactions that can represent highly productive research avenues, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in a future career in ecology. Written by leading experts, and employing a variety of didactic tools, the book is useful for students and teachers involved in advanced undergraduate and graduate courses addressing areas such as herbivory, trophic relationships, plant defense, pollination and biodiversity.
A Pocket Mirror for Heroes
A book of strategies for reaching excellence in a competative world ruled by appearances and, often, deceit.
The Atlantic Forest
The Atlantic Forest is one of the 36 hotspots for biodiversity conservation worldwide. It is a unique, large biome (more than 3000 km in latitude; 2500 in longitude), marked by high biodiversity, high degree of endemic species and, at the same time, extremely threatened. Approximately 70% of the Brazilian population lives in the area of this biome, which makes the conflict between biodiversity conservation and the sustainability of the human population a relevant issue. This book aims to cover: 1) the historical characterization and geographic variation of the biome; 2) the distribution of the diversity of some relevant taxa; 3) the main threats to biodiversity, and 4) possible opportunities to ensure the biodiversity conservation, and the economic and social sustainability. Also, it is hoped that this book can be useful for those involved in the development of public policies aimed at the conservation of this important global biome.
Aging and the Macroeconomy
The United States is in the midst of a major demographic shift. In the coming decades, people aged 65 and over will make up an increasingly large percentage of the population: The ratio of people aged 65+ to people aged 20-64 will rise by 80%. This shift is happening for two reasons: people are living longer, and many couples are choosing to have fewer children and to have those children somewhat later in life. The resulting demographic shift will present the nation with economic challenges, both to absorb the costs and to leverage the benefits of an aging population. Aging and the Macroeconomy: Long-Term Implications of an Older Population presents the fundamental factors driving the aging of the U.S. population, as well as its societal implications and likely long-term macroeconomic effects in a global context. The report finds that, while population aging does not pose an insurmountable challenge to the nation, it is imperative that sensible policies are implemented soon to allow companies and households to respond. It offers four practical approaches for preparing resources to support the future consumption of households and for adapting to the new economic landscape.
