    UK trade and FDI: A post-Brexit perspective

    Get PDF
    Leaving the EU will change the UK’s economic relations with the rest of the world. This paper discusses the UK’s role in the global economy and the consequences of Brexit for the UK’s trade, investment and living standards. We emphasize that international integration encompasses investment and labour services flows as well as trade in goods and services and that there are important interdependencies between the different forms of integration which should be considered when evaluating policy changes. Brexit is likely to make the UK poorer by reducing trade and investment flows, but the size of these effects will depend upon the nature of the UK’s post-Brexit economic relations with the EU and the rest of the world. We conclude by considering options for UK-EU relations after Brexit and how the UK should approach future trade negotiations

    The role of protected areas in the avoidance of anthropogenic conversion in a high pressure region : a matching method analysis in the core region of the brazilian cerrado

    Global efforts to avoid anthropogenic conversion of natural habitat rely heavily on the establishment of protected areas. Studies that evaluate the effectiveness of these areas with a focus on preserving the natural habitat define effectiveness as a measure of the influence of protected areas on total avoided conversion. Changes in the estimated effectiveness are related to local and regional differences, evaluation methods, restriction categories that include the protected areas, and other characteristics. The overall objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of protected areas to prevent the advance of the conversion of natural areas in the core region of the Brazil’s Cerrado Biome, taking into account the influence of the restriction degree, governmental sphere, time since the establishment of the protected area units, and the size of the area on the performance of protected areas. The evaluation was conducted using matching methods and took into account the following two fundamental issues: control of statistical biases caused by the influence of covariates on the likelihood of anthropogenic conversion and the non-randomness of the allocation of protected areas throughout the territory (spatial correlation effect) and the control of statistical bias caused by the influence of auto-correlation and leakage effect. Using a sample design that is not based on ways to control these biases may result in outcomes that underestimate or overestimate the effectiveness of those units. The matching method accounted for a bias reduction in 94–99% of the estimation of the average effect of protected areas on anthropogenic conversion and allowed us to obtain results with a reduced influence of the auto-correlation and leakage effects. Most protected areas had a positive influence on the maintenance of natural habitats, although wide variation in this effectiveness was dependent on the type, restriction, governmental sphere, size and age group of the unit

    Paulo Caliendo, Denise Lucena Cavalcante, João Ricardo Catarino (Organizadores) A presente coletânea é fruto das pesquisas e debates realizados em virtude do Projeto de Pesquisa Avaliação do impacto da taxação de bebidas adoçadas no Brasil (Chamada MS-SCTIE-Decit/CNPq n. 26/2019 – Pesquisas em Alimentação e Nutrição - Eixo 1 - Economia da saúde com foco nas ações de alimentação e nutrição. Linha 2 - Taxação de bebidas adoçadas), tendo como Coordenadora a Prof. Dra. Denise Petrucci Gigante. A especificidade da presente pesquisa foi um grande desafio para todos os envolvidos, tanto no contexto nacional como no âmbito internacional, com a participação dos pesquisadores lusitanos. A premissa de grande parte das pesquisas partiu dos dados da Organização Mundial da Saúde (WHO urges global action to curtail consumption and health impacts of sugary drinks, 2016), que afirma ser o consumo excessivo de bebidas adocicadas um dos maiores contribuintes para a obesidade e diabetes. Com fulcro na extrafiscalidade, os textos apresentados buscam averiguar se os instrumentos fiscais podem ser utilizados em benefício à alimentação saudável e, consequentemente, efetivar uma correlação direta com o desincentivo ao consumo de bebidas adoçadas, usando como exemplo, os refrigerantes. No contexto brasileiro, a coletânea inicia com o artigo EXTRAFISCALIDADE NO ÂMBITO DA INDÚSTRIA ALIMENTAR: REFLEXOS NO CONSUMO DE REFRIGERANTES, elaborado em parceria pela Prof. Dra. Denise Lucena Cavalcante, da Universidade Federal do Ceará e pelo Prof. Dr. Paulo Caliendo, da Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
