Fiscal indicators - Proceedings of the the Directorate-General for Economic and Financial Affairs Workshop held on 22 September 2006 in Brussels

Fiscal indicators are the backbone of effective fiscal policy-making, including the coordination and surveillance of budgetary policy at the EU level. The quality and success of the EU surveillance framework, in particular the timeliness and appropriateness of any policy recommendation or decision taken in the context of the Stability and Growth Pact (SGP), crucially depend on the quality of its diagnostic instruments. The right conclusions can only be drawn if the underlying analysis is comprehensive and accurate.fiscal indicators, government budget, EU fiscal surveillance, sustainability of fiscal policy, cyclically adjusted budget balance, Larch, Nogueira Martins

B+→K−π+π+B^+\to K^-\pi^+\pi^+: three-body final state interactions and KπK\pi isospin states

Final state interactions are considered to formulate the $B$ meson decay amplitude for the $K\pi\pi$ channel. The Faddeev decomposition of the Bethe-Salpeter equation is used in order to build a relativistic three-body model within the light-front framework. The S-wave scattering amplitude for the $K\pi$ system is considered in the $1/2$ and $3/2$ isospin channels with the set of inhomogeneous integral equations solved perturbatively. In comparison with previous results for the $D$ meson decay in the same channel, one has to consider the different partonic processes, which build the source amplitudes, and the larger absorption to other decay channels appears, that are important features to be addressed. As in the $D$ decay case, the convergence of the rescattering perturbative series is also achieved with two-loop contributions.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figure

How reliable are the statistics for the Stability and Growth Pact?

The aim of this paper is to assess the reliability of the government deficit and debt figures reported to the European Commission by Member States. Reliability is one of the several dimensions of quality in statistics; it refers to the magnitudes of data revisions after the publication of the first outcomes. The measurement of the data reliability and inference about potential future revisions are particularly relevant for fiscal surveillance in the EU since statistical institutes take a long time - usually four years - to provide final data, while the decisions on the Stability and Growth Pact context are taken on the basis of the first estimates available shortly after the end of each year. The paper shows that there are very significant differences in reliability among Member States and indicates the margins of uncertainty in relation to the most recent years' data. It also compares the reliability of deficit and debt figures; checks that the shift from ESA79 to ESA95 did not generally harm the reliability of data and suggests that the size of deficits may have an impact on the way statistical offices revise data.reliability, quality of statistics, Stability and Growth Pact, government deficit, Gordo Mora, Nogueira Martins

CNC 0434: nova cultivar de feijão caupi para o Amapá.

Esta cultivar foi introduzida no Amapá pela Embrapa através da Unidade de Execução de Pesquisa de Ambito Territorial de Macapá (UEPAT de Macapá) no ano de 1982, sendo avaliada durante 3 anos nos municipios de Macapá e Mazagão. Esta cultivar, pelo fato de possuir graos com tegumento de coloração branca e apresentar rendimentos medios de 1.000 kg/ha, superiores em ate 40% aos das tradicionalmente plantadas no Territorio, e recomendada para utilização em escala comercial pelos agricultores amapaenses.bitstream/item/64922/1/AP-1985-cnc-nova-cultivar-feijao-caupi.pd

Análise econômica de sistemas de manejo de açaizais nativos no estuário amazônico.

Importância do manejo de recursos extrativos em aumentar o carrying capacity: o caso de açaizeiros (Euterpe oleracea Mart.) no estuário amazônico.

O açaizeiro (Euterpe oleracea Mart.) é a maior fonte supridora de matéria-prima para a indústria de palmito no Brasil. A forma com que a espécie vem sendo explorada tem ocasionado, em algumas áreas, a sua degradação e a redução da oferta de frutos e de palmito. O objetivo desse trabalho foi o de analisar cinco sistemas de manejo dos açaizais nativos utilizados pelas populações ribeirinhas do estuário amazônico. A pesquisa foi conduzida no município de Igarapé-Miri, Pará, onde foram analisados pelo método do VPL, considerando o horizonte de tempo 0 até , visando subsidiar a definição de técnicas que auxiliem o manejo racional do açaizeiro. Verificou-se que a coleta de frutos é mais lucrativa que a extração de palmito, e que o manejo é uma prática que aumenta a produtividade e a rentabilidade dos açaizais nativos de várzea
