The permanent component refers to workers’ productivity characteristics such as education and abilities, whereas the transitory component relates to noise caused by economic instability. We use data from the Annual Reports of Social Information (RAIS) from 1994 to 2016, covering periods of both economic instability and stability. Our proposed model includes year and cohort specific effects in both components and we use minimum distance methods to estimate our parameters of interest. Overall we observe a downward trend in wage inequality levels for most cohorts during the entire period. However, different sources are associated with this decrease in different sub-periods. This decline can be attributed to reductions in the transitory component from 1994 to 2005 (related to the economic stabilization process) and in the permanent component from 2010 to 2016. Moreover, our results suggest that the permanent component has an important role in explaining the wage inequality level in Brazil, especially considering older cohorts, even though its share in terms of total variance has decreased over the 2010s. Finally, we show that age and education are accountable for a great share of permanent inequality, with this percentage being even greater for younger cohorts, although their relative importance also decreased over the years.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100389,"journal":{"name":"EconomiA","volume":"20 3","pages":"Pages 153-190"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.econ.2019.10.001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86627388","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We develop a structural choice model that nests a process of contingent valuation among non-degenerate lotteries and estimate it by both maximum likelihood and geographically weighted regression (GWR) using a dataset from the city of Fortaleza that contains a precise measurement of individual's subjective probability of victimization among detailed socioeconomic measurement, willingness to pay, and police presence variables. Expected loss, gender, age, education, and perception of patrolling explain WTP. Our global model estimated a mean WTP of R$ 19.23 (U$ 10.33) per month. Our local model, estimated by GWR, suggests that there is a reasonable amount of spatial heterogeneity that follows the city's socioeconomic spatial distribution profile. Although the city's northwest periphery presents higher WTP, as long as we go inwards, there is plenty of heterogeneity on its spatial distribution. Our results support a theory of crime with an active role for victim's (costly) precautions influenced by socioeconomic spatial heterogeneity.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100389,"journal":{"name":"EconomiA","volume":"20 1","pages":"Pages 44-72"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.econ.2019.02.001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79849035","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Climate science tells us that most of these fluctuations are increasingly resulting from intra-year, instead of interyearly, shifts in the timing and intensity of rainfall. Consequently predictions of the economic effects of these fluctuations would likely differ depending on how these shifts are taken into account by the empirical models. To investigate this, the present paper introduces a novel hydro-economic model in which the timing and intensity of rainfall affect the productivity of a partially irrigated agricultural system in Brazil. The specification of the production function is designed to reflect intra-year, in a monthly or seasonal basis, and interyearly shifts on rainfall to show how the opportunity cost of supplementary irrigation supply varies with changes in the timing and intensity of rainfall. Results suggest that the timing of rainfall is indeed an important economic variable and models that take into account shifts only on a yearly basis will tend to underestimate the impacts of water scarcity on agricultural income.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100389,"journal":{"name":"EconomiA","volume":"20 1","pages":"Pages 1-14"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.econ.2019.03.006","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85797298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
