Labor in a Globalizing City

The extraordinary stories of low-income women living in São Paulo, industrial case studies and the details of three squatter settlements, and communities in the periphery researched in Simone Buechler’s book, Labor in a Globalizing City, allow us to better understand the period of economic transformation in São Paulo from 1996 to 2003. Buechler’s in-depth ethnographic research over a period of 17 years include interviews with a variety of social actors ranging from favela inhabitants to Wall Street bankers. Buechler examines the paradox of a globalizing city with highly developed financial, service, and industrial sectors, but at the same time a growing sector of microenterprises, degraded labor, considerable unemployment, unprecedented inequality, and precarious infrastructure in its low-income communities. The author argues that informalization and low-income women’s labor are an integral part of the global economy. Other countries are continuing to use the same kind of neo-liberal economic model even though once again with the latest global financial crisis, it has proven to be detrimental to many workers.

Enforcement of Labor Regulation, Informal Labor and Firm Performance

This paper investigates how enforcement of labor regulation affects the firm's use of informal employment and its impact on firm performance. Using firm level data on informal employment and firm performance, and administrative data on enforcement of regulation at the city level, the authors show that in areas where law enforcement is stricter firms employ a smaller amount of informal employment. Furthermore, by reducing the firm's access to unregulated labor, stricter enforcement also decreases average wages, productivity, and investment. The results are robust to several specification changes, and to instrumenting enforcement with (1) measures of access of labor inspectors to firms, and (2) measures of general law enforcement in the area where the firm is located.

This paper investigates the determinants of informal economic activity. We present two equilibrium models of informality and test their implications using a survey of 48,000+ small firms in Brazil. We define informality as tax avoidance; firms in the informal sector avoid tax payments but suffer other limitations. In the first model there is a single industry and informal firms face a higher cost of capital and a limitation on size. As a result informal firms are smaller and have a lower capital labor ratio. When education is an imperfect proxy for ability, we show that the interaction of the manager's education and formality has a positive correlation with firm size. These implications are ...

Conversas sobre Trigueirinho

Esta biografia do filósofo espiritualista Trigueirinho investiga o período de 1931, ano de seu nascimento, até 1990. O instrutor espiritual, conferencista, escritor e fundador da Comunidade-Luz Figueira nada reteve para si. Para impulsionar a fraternidade entre os seres humanos, entregou o que era e o que possuía: seu amor, seu poder, sua criatividade. O livro baseia-se em passagens de vida narradas por ele mesmo. Sobretudo nos últimos anos do período retratado pela obra, Trigueirinho dava exemplos da própria busca espiritual em livros, palestras e algumas entrevistas para a mídia. Contamos também com memórias e dados de uma prima-irmã e de outras dezenas de pessoas que o conheceram entre 1970 e 1990.
