O objetivo geral desta dissertação é compreender como as variações da Taxa de Lucro dos EUA foram determinadas entre 1963 e 2008. Por isso faz-se necessário identificar as variáveis que afetam a Taxa de Lucro, buscar dados de variáveis proxy e especificar e estimar modelos econométricos. Por constatar-se causalidade mútua entre a Taxa de Lucro e as variáveis que a afetam, optou-se por estimar modelos VEC, os quais permitiram analisar os coeficientes de curto e longo prazo, o tempo necessário para ajuste completo das variáveis e as funções impulso-resposta para compreender as relações da Taxa de Lucro com as variáveis que a afetam. Os resultados do modelo VEC são novos em relação a Basu (2010), Shaikh (1991, 2010), Cockshott, Cottrell e Taraddinov (2009), e Duménil e Lévy (1993, 2002). / The overall objective of this dissertation is to understand the determinants of variations in the U.S. economy Rate of Profit between 1963 and 2008. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the variables that affect the rate of profit, select appropriate proxies, and specify and estimate suitable econometric models. Due to mutual causality between the profit rate and the variables that affect it, VEC models were estimated. This allowed analyzing the short and long term coefficients, the time required for full adjustment of the variables, and functions impulse-response in order to understand the relationships involving the Profit Rate and the variables that influence it. With basis on VEC models, some conclusions were inferred about the variations in the rate of profit, and these results were compared with known authors. In general, the results of VEC are new compared to Basu (2010), Shaikh (1991, 2010), Cockshott, Cottrell and Taraddinov (2009), and Duménil and Lévy (1993, 2002).

From a rereading of the theory critic of value, the debate proposed in this dissertation seeks to discusse and meditate about the mediations in which, directly or indirectly, consciously or unconsciously, affect the legal form and political form that is embodied in the Modern State, providing important elements for further discussion of current marixist´s theories of regulation and derivation of political form and legal form. / A dinâmica, os antagonismos e as contradições do modo de produção do capital impactam a forma de sociabilidade capitalista pelas crises cíclicas e estruturais decorrentes das leis econômicas do capital, especialmente na lei da queda tendencial da taxa de lucro. A partir de uma releitura da teoria crítica do valor, o debate proposto na presente dissertação busca discutir e refletir sobre as mediações que, direta ou indiretamente, consciente ou inconscientemente, afetam à forma jurídica do Direito e a forma política que se materializa no Estado moderno, fornecendo elementos importantes para futuros debates das atuais teorias marxistas da regulação e da derivação da forma política e da forma jurídica.

Η οικονομία της Ελλάδας από την μεταπολίτευση έως την είσοδό της στην Οικονομική Νομισματική Ένωση (Ο.Ν.Ε) και η δημοσιονομική πολιτική που ακολουθήθηκε από την εποχή διακυβέρνησης της χώρας από τα κόμματα που απετέλεσαν τον δικομματισμό μέχρι την κυβέρνηση συνεργασίας του 2012, θα αποτελέσουν την βάση για την ανάλυση του θέματος της παρούσας εκπονηθείσας εργασίας. Βασικός μας στόχος είναι να αναδείξουμε ομοιότητες και διαφορές στην ελληνική και πορτογαλική οικονομία, επικεντρώνοντας την ανάλυση και το ενδιαφέρον μας στην πορεία των μακροοικονομικών τους μεγεθών κατά τη διάρκεια της τελευταίας παγκόσμιας οικονομικής κρίσης που ξέσπασε στις Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες Αμερικής (Η.Π.Α) το 2007 και επεκτείνοντας τις επιπτώσεις στον ευρωπαϊκό κόσμο εως το 2009. Παράλληλα, θα εξετάσουμε κατά πόσο η ένταξη της Ελλάδας και της Πορτογαλίας στο Διεθνές Νομισματικό Ταμείο και σε καθεστώς πολυετούς επιτήρησης , βοήθησαν ή επιδείνωσαν την πορεία των οικονομιών τους αναδεικνύοντας δυνατά και αδύνατα σημεία της πολιτικής της τρόικας. Επιπροσθέτως, ειδική μνεία θα γίνει σε βασικά μακροοικονομικά μεγέθη της πορτογαλικής οικονομίας και στην τάση τους την τελευταία δεκαετία (2002-2012), συγκρίνοντας τα ευρήματα με την πορεία των αντίστοιχων ελληνικών μακροοικονομικών μεγεθών.Βάση για την σύγκριση αυτών των δεικτών, θα αποτελέσουν τα άρθρα του Οικονομάκη Γεώργιου, Ανδρουλάκη Γεώργιου και Μαρκάκη Μαρίας «Profitability and crisis in the Greek economy (1960-2012): an investigation-2013» καθώς επίσης και «Η εξωστρέφεια και κρίση της ελληνικής οικονομίας-2014». / The economy of Greece from dictatorship to its entry into the Economic Monetary Union (EMU) and fiscal policy followed by the era of government by political parties which formed the bipartisanship until the two-party coalition government until 2012, will be the basis for the analysis of the issue of this work elaborated. Our main goal is to highlight similarities and differences in Greek and Portuguese economies, focusing on analysis and our interest in the course of the macroeconomic aggregates during the last global economic crisis that erupted in the United States of America ( USA ) in 2007 and expanding its impact on the European world by 2009 . Moreover, we will examine whether the inclusion of Greece and Portugal in the International Monetary Fund and a multi surveillance system helped or worsened the state of their economies highlighting strengths and weaknesses of policy Troika. In addition, special mention will be made in macroeconomic fundamentals of the Portuguese economy and the trend over the last decade (2002-2012), comparing the findings with the state of the corresponding Greek aggregates. Basis for comparison of these indicators will be the articles of Oikonomakis George, Androulakis George and Markaki Mary «Profitability and crisis in the Greek economy (1960-2012): an investigation-2013» and also «Extraversion and crisis Greek economy-2014".
