This article analyzes the imbrication between literature and economics in a poem by Carlos Drummond de Andrade. It is "Lira Itabirana", published in a newspaper in 1983, but it was never published in a book. The poem, known by few back then, gained notoriety after two catastrophic ruptures of tailings dams by mining company Vale s.a., in 2015 and 2019, in the state of Minas Gerais, the birthplace of Drummond. Despite its timelessness, the original theme of the poem relates to the economic crisis and the indebtedness of the Brazilian state during the military civil dictatorship that was in force for two decades in the country.

Esse artigo revisa a recente literatura acadêmica sobre gerenciamento de resultados (GR) no Brasil. O seu objetivo é identificar os principais temas de pesquisa desenvolvidos no contexto do Brasil e os resultados de interesse para usuários, reguladores e preparadores das demonstrações financeiras. Almeja-se que este estudo seja também util a pesquisadores considerando investigar o tema gerenciamento de resultados, na medida em que propicia uma visão abrangente das principais discussões travadas e as metodologias mais usualmente empregadas. Enquanto tema de pesquisa acadêmica, o gerenciamento de resultados revela-se num tópico diversificado e vasto, embora relativamente recente. A maioria dos estudos brasileiros no assunto foi publicada nos últimos dez anos e a produção científica tem se acelerado recentemente, o que torna oportuno uma reflexão sobre o estado da arte, esboçando a evolução do conhecimento e caminhos a serem trilhados no futuro.

The article surveys the Brazilian economics literature on innovation and development from the early nineties to the present. The survey begins by a discussion of the economic, political and academic factors which may explain why "innovation" came back to the fore in the nineties, after a relative decline during the eighties. A survey of the studies which place Brazilian national system of innovation in the international context follows suit. The next (and longest section) presents the studies (and their data-base) on innovation in Brazil. They are presented following a chronological order according to the phases of industrial investment in the country. The concluding part suggests a future research agenda, aiming at deepening and complementing the literature surveyed as well as filling some important lacunae observed in the literature.
