Taxation, Lobbies and Welfare in an Enclave Economy: Rubber in the Brazilian Amazon 1870-1910
Conheci o Felipe Tãmega em 2006, quando ele era doutorando em história econômica e orientado pelo Colin Lewis na LSE. Um cara gente boa e muito bom mesmo. Googlando, esbarrei no texto super legal (acho que tirado da tese):
Taxation, Lobbies and Welfare in an Enclave Economy: Rubber in the Brazilian Amazon 1870-1910O mais bacana, contudo, foi descobrir que ele está na Harvard Business School. Parabéns!!!
Abstract
This paper uses an enclave economy (Brazilian Amazon) to show that [export] taxes can be welfare enhancing and be used as instruments to move the economy away from the immiserizing growth path. Nonetheless, the results show that the government could have raised the Brazilian Amazon's welfare with a much higher export tax, and offers political-economic reasons why it did not.
