A presente obra tem como propósito examinar determinados aspectos regulatórios inerentes ao mercado de capitais e à indústria do petróleo e gás brasileira, com especial ênfase na regulação da informação. A principal problemática diz respeito aos desequilíbrios ou assimetrias informacionais existentes entre ambos os mercados (o de capitais e o petrolífero) e como tais assimetrias afetam o desempenho dos órgãos reguladores dos referidos mercados. Para tanto, a obra examina, inicialmente, o regime jurídico do mercado de capitais brasileiro; na sequência, analisa os principais aspectos relacionados à regulação do mercado de capitais; logo após, investiga o regime de divulgação da informação no mercado de capitais, bem como suas consequências para a indústria do petróleo e gás natural; por fim, propõe um modelo de cooperação institucional entre os órgãos reguladores do mercado de capitais (a Comissão da Valores Mobiliários) e da indústria petrolífera (a Agência Nacional do Petróleo, Gás Natural e Biocombustíveis), com a finalidade de reduzir as assimetrias informacionais entre os entes reguladores e aperfeiçoar a regulação entre os referidos mercados.

The world has changed dramatically in recent years and so has the field of economics, but many introductory economics textbooks have remained stuck in the past.  This book provides a new beginning for the study of microeconomics, emphasizing current debates and research trends.  It is international in outlook and reflects the shift toward empirical methods, as well as the study of institutions and economic behavior.  It is also written to fit in with an approach to teaching based on active learning and critical thinking.  Mainstream material is still covered, but within a new context, making it more relevant, realistic and responsive to the deeper questions economists are now asking about theory and policy. Economics as a discipline is viewed from a broad perspective that takes into account new developments at the intersections with psychology, political science, the natural sciences and philosophy.  Economics as presented in this text is less sure that it has all the answers, but it is more interesting, application-oriented and open to new ideas.

Finally, an insightful analysis of China’s different types of state-owned enterprises. Grounded in deep and thoughtful empirical research, China’s State Enterprises also contributes immensely to debate about the value of state intervention in an economy to drive growth. To understand how China is emerging as the world’s largest economy, guided by the strong hand of a highly interventionist state through enterprises it owns and controls, this is a must-read. —Edmund Terence Gomez, Professor of Political Economy, University of Malaya This study of China’s state owned and controlled enterprises challenges many of the easy assumptions about such enterprises made by high income country economists and business people. Through careful research and rigorous analysis the two authors argue that these enterprises have been transformed into effective vehicles for carrying out the government’s overall development strategy. The study is an important contribution to our understanding of the nature of China’s “socialist market economy”. —Dwight H. Perkins, Professor of Political Economy, Harvard University This book focuses on the nature and significance of China’s state enterprises which have undergone substantial changes since China’s economic liberalization in 1978. It argues that much of the criticism is based on mistaken premises, where even the term ‘state-owned enterprises’ is a misnomer given that the emphasis is much less on ownership than on control. Using numerous case studies, this book highlights the extent to which these enterprises have evolved in response to reforms, and provides an in-depth analysis of their role in China’s outward investment strategy in the “Belt and Road” initiative. This role speaks to their growing influence as China expands her global footprint.

This study explores why democratization does not necessarily result in inequality reduction in emerging democracies and reveals the determinants of income inequality in emerging democracies, where the average level of inequality continues to be higher and where there is a larger variance of inequality levels than in advanced democracies. Apart from economic, demographic, and social factors, the book highlights political factors that obstruct redistributive policies. In contrast to conventional studies on advanced democracies, which emphasize the relations between different classes, this study asserts that several political factors cause malfunctioning of democratic institutions at various phases of the political process in emerging democracies: multidimensional preferences, the failure of the political market, and weak state capacity. The book employs econometric methods to examine the effects of these political factors. The results indicate their significant effects. The multilevel analysis using the World Values Survey demonstrates that multidimensional preferences, operationalized as ethnic fractionalization, weaken demand for income inequality. Political market quality and state capacity are measured by the age of the largest opposition party, and the Quality of Government indicator is used for the unbalanced panel analysis covering the 1985–2012 period for 75 democracies. Both political market quality and state capacity reduce inequality, but the latter takes more time to show its effect.

In many developed countries, population decline poses economic and social strains and may even threaten national security. Through historical-political case studies of Sweden, France, Italy, Japan, and Singapore, The Other Population Crisis explores the motivations, politics, programming, and consequences of national efforts to promote births. Steven Philip Kramer finds a significant government role in stopping declines in birth rates. Sweden's and France's pro-natalist programs, which have succeeded, share the characteristics of being universal, not means-tested, and based on gender equality and making it easy for women to balance work and family. The programs in Italy, Japan, and Singapore, which have failed so far, have not devoted sufficient resources consistently enough to make a difference and do not support gender equality and women's work-family balance, Kramer finds.
