The Multi-Sectoral Thirlwall’s Law: evidence from 14 developed European countries using product-level data

These functions have never before been estimated for developed countries adopting a technological classification of sectors. The paper compares estimates of income elasticities found using vector error-correction models employing aggregate deflators, with estimates found using cross-product panels employing product-specific quality-adjusted price indexes recently calculated by Feenstra and Romalis. The results indicate that the income elasticities of imports and exports are higher for medium- and high-tech manufactures, which suggests the importance of moving from the production of simple goods to the production of goods with high technological content. The estimates also suggest that the Multi-Sectoral Thirlwall’s Law holds for the countries analysed, while comparing the estimates revealed that cross-product panels with quality-adjusted prices generate considerably more robust results. The investigation reveals that using a more recent time period generates estimates of income elasticities of demand for primary products and resource-based manufactures that tend to be higher than the estimates found by studies that have used longer time periods, while the opposite holds for low-, medium-, and high-tech manufactures.

Crédito, preferência pela liquidez e desen- volvimento regional: o papel dos bancos públicos e privados no sistema finan- ceiro brasileiro (2001-06)

Foram estudados dados referentes ao balancete de 21 bancos em atuação no Brasil, subdivididos entre bancos privados nacionais, privados internacionais, públicos federais e públicos estaduais. Testes empíricos demonstraram que a preferência pela liquidez dos bancos influencia o montante total de crédito disponibilizado, sendo a preferência pela liquidez dos bancos públicos federais aquela com maior impacto. Verificou-se a forte concentração financeira no País, sendo os bancos públicos federais e os privados nacionais os que disponibilizam maior crédito. Ressalta-se a necessidade de incentivar a elevação do crédito dos bancos nas regiões mais atrasadas. Ao verificar a influência da preferência pela liquidez dos bancos públicos federais sobre o crédito disponibilizado pelos demais bancos, demonstrou-se seu potencial em liderar o processo de desenvolvimento regional e impulsionar o crédito dos demais.
