2. Ciclos políticos eleitorais e a interação espacial de políticas fiscais entre os municípios brasileiros
Este trabalho investiga se existe interação espacial para os gastos municipais (saúde, educação e investimentos) tendo como base o modelo tradicional de ciclos políticos eleitorais. O teste realizado compreende o período entre 1997 e 2008 e segue Lockwood & Migali (2009). Os resultados sugerem interação espacial positiva para as despesas de saúde e

3. UMA ABORDAGEM BAYESIANA PARA O CÁLCULO DOS CUSTOS OPERACIONAIS EFICIENTES DAS DISTRIBUIDORAS DE ENERGIA ELÉTRICA / A BAYESIAN APPROACH TO ESTIMATE THE EFFICIENT OPERATIONAL COSTS OF ELECTRICAL ENERGY UTILITIES
This thesis presents the main results of the cost efficiency scores of 60 Brazilian electricity distribution utilities. Based on yardstick competition scheme, it was applied a Kohonen Neural Networks (KNN) to identify and to group the similar utilities. The KNN results are not deterministic, since the estimated weights are randomly initialized. Thus, a Monte

4. UM MODELO DE ANÁLISE ENVOLTÓRIA DE DADOS PARA ESTABELECIMENTO DAS METAS DE CONTINUIDADE DO FORNECIMENTO DE ENERGIA ELÉTRICA / A DATA ENVELOPMENT ANALYSIS MODEL TO SET ELECTRICITY SUPPLY CONTINUITY STANDARDS
In the Brazilian electric power sector, the distribution tariff revision is made by the price cap method. Since this approach encourages the cost reduction, the quality of supply can suffer deterioration. In this context, a quality supply regulation becomes more important. The continuity of supply regulation consists in setting upper limits or standards to t
