O presente trabalho aborda a vida do artista Amedeo Clemente Modigliani, judeu não ortodoxo, que sempre buscou um saber artístico e filosófico e que se lançou na busca da arte e da mística judaica: a Cabala. Este estudo revela a maneira como questões místicas são expostas em suas obras de modo pouco perceptível. Para atingir os objetivos propostos, foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica e exploratória, em busca de um referencial teórico e prático para a compreensão e elucidação dos fatos e a demonstração de como este artista abriu-se para o mundo sem perder suas raízes fundamentadas na tradição judaica. / The present work deals with the life of the artist Amedeo Clemente Modigliani, an unorthodox Jew, who has always sought artistic and philosophical knowledge and who has launched the quest for Jewish art and mysticism: the Kabbalah. This study reveals how mystical questions are exposed in their works in a barely perceptible way. In order to reach the proposed objectives, a bibliographical and exploratory research was carried out, in search of a theoretical and practical reference for the understanding and elucidation of the facts and the demonstration of how this artist opened up to the world without losing its roots based on the Jewish tradition.

No. of bitstreams: 1 2104.pdf: 315512 bytes, checksum: 16b71315d3c0036ed419b563fa5346a8 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2005-12-15 / We analize a discrete type version of a common agency model with informed principals of Martimort and Moreira (2005) in the context of lobby games. We begin discussing issues related to the common values nature of the model, i.e.the agent cares directly about the principal’s utility function. With this feature the equilibrium of Martimort and Moreira (2005) is not valid. We argue in favor of one solution, although we are not able to fully characterize the equilibrium in this context. We then turn to an application: a modification of the Grossman and Helpman (1994) model of lobbying for tariff protection to incoporate assimetric information (but disconsidering the problem of common values) in the lobbies objective function. We show that the main results of the original model do not hold and that lobbies may behave less agressively towards the police maker when there is private information in the lobbies valuation for the tariffs.
