Drawing upon the recent explosion of research in the field, a diverse group of scholars surveys the latest strategies for solving ecological inference problems, the process of trying to infer individual behavior from aggregate data. The uncertainties and information lost in aggregation make ecological inference one of the most difficult areas of statistical inference, but these inferences are required in many academic fields, as well as by legislatures and the Courts in redistricting, marketing research by business, and policy analysis by governments. This wide-ranging collection of essays offers many fresh and important contributions to the study of ecological inference.
This paper analyzes the influence of macroeconomic factors on the introduction of antidumping (AD) cases in Brazil and in Argentina. Since this type of research does not have large samples, the relevant variables were selected via Sala-i-Martin's (1997) test. The results, estimated using Poisson models, revealed that Brazil and Argentina are influenced by macroeconomic factors. However, the traditional (aggregated) models tend to minimize this influence on Brazil and overestimate it on Argentina. We also found that domestic and foreign income growth, exchange rate devaluation, and a reduction in domestic prices could reduce the number of AD cases in both countries. Therefore, there is evidence that these countries are using the AD law as a political tool, shifting it from its main objective of avoiding unfair trade.
Docentes da área de ciências da saúde e da enfermagem apresentam nesta publicação um conteúdo singular com metaconceitos que norteiam as teorias de enfermagem. Esses conceitos oferecem um ponto central e importante na formulação de proposições relativas às ações de enfermagem e ao conhecimento necessário para desenvolver-se como ciência, prática profissional e validação do fenômeno do cuidar. O livro destaca a importância do indivíduo não apenas como pessoa, mas como ser integrante e participante da família, sociedade, comunidade e instituição. Sensibiliza a enfermagem para ações cuidativas, sistematizadas e cientificamente embasadas. Com linguagem didática, as teorias são aplicadas em casos clínicos e exercícios, sendo a obra indispensável à preparação de estudantes de graduação e pós-graduação e de profissionais da área, como desafio para entender o compromisso da enfermagem atual.
