Parente, Stephen L. Parente, Stephen L. Baer, Werner W. Dias, Daniel Cavalcanti, Tiago Pereira de Meneses Vaz, Paulo 2014-09-16T17:17:20Z 2014-09-16T17:17:20Z 2016-09-22T20:59:31Z 2014-08 2014-09-16 2014-08 This dissertation is composed by three chapters. The first chapter regards an empirical evaluation of a type of development policy adopted in Brazil, which provides general insights into the causal effect of relaxing financial frictions on firms productivity. The second chapter concerns rationalizing Brazil's uneven development path over the postwar period through the lens of a Neoclassical growth model and its transitional dynamics. In the third chapter, a class of models of resource curse that can disentangle price and quantity effects of the discovery of raw natural resources is discussed.
