No. of bitstreams: 1 Frederico Steffen Neto.pdf: 630287 bytes, checksum: af9c8d26cbc3ec84fbf35d737c883c01 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2015-12-16 / The Brazilian agribusiness is one of the generators of wealth origins of Brazil, accumulating growth for decades, contributing significantly in the rate of gross domestic product (GDP), and placing the country among the nations that produce more agroindustrial commodities. The rapid growth of agribusiness has shown that the available infrastructure is insufficient for actual needs. Facing this situation presented this dissertation is meant to examine the state's participation in the performance of the infrastructure of complex projects in agribusiness. In face of this objective the research question that arises is: "How much the participation of the State interferes with the performance of infrastructure complex projects in agribusiness?" In order to answer it was developed 05 hypotheses and researches carried out in the works of literature concerning the theoretical axes defined as supporters of this research: Agribusiness Sector Complex and Performance Project, Participation and State Role in Infrastructure Projects Complexes in Agribusiness. The data used in this study were obtained through consultations in Annuals exemplary of Infrastructure of Exame magazine, covering the biennium 2014/2015 and specific sites related in some way with the theme of this work. The method used in this study is descriptive, quantitative, inferential method making use of multivariate data analysis technique. The results confirmed, the study framework, which the Brazilian government actively participates as a major stakeholder in the infrastructure of complex projects in agribusiness, with consequent impact on the performance of the same. The present study contributes to both the academia and the practice by presenting the impacts of state participation in infrastructure complex projects in agribusiness. The main practical contribution of this work was to present a quantitative way, through the data obtained and the technique used to analysis; multivariate data analysis, which can influence other factors, including external, in compliance with the objectives of these projects, in particular working in the state's participation in infrastructure projects in the agribusiness complex. / O agronegócio brasileiro é uma das origens geradoras de riqueza do Brasil, acumulando crescimento há décadas, colaborando de forma significativa no índice do Produto Interno Bruto (PIB), e colocando o país entre as nações que mais produzem commodities agroindustriais. O crescimento acelerado do agronegócio tem mostrado que a infraestrutura disponível é insuficiente para as necessidades existentes. Diante desse quadro apresentado a presente dissertação tem como objetivo principal analisar a participação do Estado no desempenho dos projetos complexos de infraestrutura no agronegócio. Frente a esse objetivo a questão de pesquisa que se apresenta é: "Quanto a participação do Estado interfere no desempenho de projetos complexos de infraestrutura no agronegócio brasileiro?" Para poder respondê-la foram elaboradas 05 hipóteses e realizadas pesquisas na literatura de trabalhos referentes aos eixos teóricos definidos como sustentáculos desta pesquisa: Setor do Agronegócio, Projetos Complexos e Desempenho, Participação e Papel do Estado nos Projetos Complexos de Infraestrutura no Agronegócio. Os dados utilizados neste estudo foram obtidos através de consultas realizadas nos exemplares de Anuários de Infraestrutura da Revista Exame, abrangendo o biênio 2014/2015 e sites específicos relacionados de alguma forma com o tema deste trabalho. O método utilizado no presente estudo é descritivo, de natureza quantitativa, método inferencial valendo-se de técnica de análise multivariada de dados. Análise multivariada ser refere a todas as técnicas estatísticas que de forma simultânea analisa múltiplas medidas sobre indivíduos ou objetos sob pesquisa (Hair, Black, Babin, Anderson, & Tatham, 2009). Os resultados obtidos confirmaram, no quadro estudado, que o estado brasileiro participa ativamente, como principal stakeholder, nos projetos complexos de infraestrutura no agronegócio, com consequente impacto no desempenho dos mesmos. O presente estudo contribui tanto com a academia quanto com a prática ao apresentar os impactos decorrentes da participação do Estado nos projetos complexos de infraestrutura no agronegócio. A principal contribuição prática deste trabalho foi apresentar de forma quantitativa, através dos dados obtidos e da técnica utilizada para análise dos mesmos, análise multivariada de dados, que outros fatores podem influenciar, inclusive externos, no cumprimento dos objetivos desses projetos, neste trabalho em específico a participação do Estado nos projetos complexos de infraestrutura no agronegócio.

The formal access of transnational actors (TNA) to international organizations (IO) has increased steadily over the past five decades, and a growing body of literature is at the moment concerned with the theoretical and normative implications of these developments. However, very little is known as of yet about who the TNAs in global governance are, where they come from, which issue areas they focus on, and when and where they choose to participate. Using analytical tools from interest group theory, in particular a subfield called population ecology, this study describes and explains the chronological development of two populations of TNAs in global governance, namely the observer communities of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity. TNAs’ financial resources and their geographical proximity to global governance venues emerge as important factors influencing their capacity to participate, causing these TNA populations to be stratified and volatile.

This thesis follows and analyses the involvement of both social actors and the state in the industrial transformation of Mexico. While these actors have been key associates in the development of the Mexican economy for decades, with the 1982 debt crisis, and especially after the promotion of a structural reform in 1986, the patterns of their involvement changed. However, this change was more limited than expected, and the state did not abandon its participation in some key industrial sectors. This thesis will demonstrate that the role of the state remained important during the process of change towards an Export-Oriented developmental paradigm, although the state continued to participate in fashioning social relations, it did so in new ways that can be termed “protective liberalization.” / Cette thèse évalue et analyse la participation des acteurs sociaux et de l'État dans la transformation industrielle du Mexique. Alors que durant plusieurs décennies ces acteurs on été des partenaires stratégiques dans le développement de l’économie mexicaine, avec la crise de la dette de 1982 et spécialement suite à la réforme structurelle de 1986, le modèle de leur participation a changé. Néanmoins, ce changement a été plus limité que prévu et l‘État n‘a pas abandonné sa participation dans certains secteurs industrielles clés. Cette thèse démontre que le rôle de l’État n’a pas perdu de son importance pendant le transfert vers un paradigme du développement orienté vers l’exportation et que même si l ́État a continué à participer dans la structuration des relations sociales, cela c’est fait d’une nouvelle manière que l'on pourrait dénommer “libéralisation protective”.

This diploma thesis focuses on providing complete characteristics of European electroenergetic industry by sample of 28 most important companies from 28 countries. Analyzing these companies, their financial results and relations to surroundings during terms from 2001 to 2010 is made by means of financial analysis, then output analysis and statistical analysis to prove relations between companies' financial results and macroeconomic and microeconomic factors. As a result of partial analyses there are several findings, of which the most interesting ones are following. Financial results were getting better during observating period, indebtedness was decreased in spite of low level of indebtedness at the beginning, however companies didn't show high profitability of their capital. Companies from southeastern part of Europe had worse results than the others. By statistical analysis there wasn't observed significant influence of prices of input commodities necessary for electricity production. On the other side the positive connection between domestic product with price index and development of these companies was found significant. During this period the decrease of portion of these companies in electricity production in domestic economies was found with average partial privatization.

Влияние институциональной среды на эффективность российских публичных акционерных компаний. Целью исследования является определение влияния факторов институциональной среды на эффективность российских публичных акционерных компаний. Предмет исследования - институциональная среда российской экономики. Объект исследования - компании, включенные в индекс Московской Биржи. В работе изучена научная и теоретическая литература по вопросам роли институциональной среды в развитии экономики и общества, проанализировано развитие российской институциональной среды и происхождение собственности в исторической ретроспективе, проанализировано влияние государственного участия и прочих факторов на эффективность зарубежных и российских компаний, разработана эмпирическая модель оценки влияния факторов на эффективность компаний и сформулированы рекомендации по итогам проведённого эмпирического и теоретического исследования. По итогам исследования были сделаны выводы о том, что наиболее значимыми переменными собственности в объяснении эффективности котируемых компаний являются бинарная переменная государственно-олигархического происхождения собственности, а также доля акций в свободном обращении. Также был сделан вывод о том, что абсолютные и ранговые значения доли государства и концентрации собственности оказывают незначительное влияние на зависимые переменные. / The impact of the institutional environment on the efficiency of Russian public joint-stock companies.
