This study investigates the impacts of bullying on the academic performance of university students in the Cariri Metropolitan Region. Using the Propensity Score Matching (PSM) methodology and primary data from 276 students at the Regional University of Cariri (URCA), victims of bullying were compared with a control group. The results show significant differences in performance coefficients, unfavorable to students who have suffered bullying. The sequelae of this phenomenon during high school have a lasting negative impact on academic performance, with possible future financial implications. These findings emphasize the need for effective preventive strategies and interventions in schools aimed at protecting students and creating a healthy school environment that fosters academic and professional success.

The theory of fiscal federalism indicates that expenditure in a specific area may increase less than transfers made to that area, with the remainder of the transfers being spent to finance other goods and services, or to reduce tax collection. This issue is known as the fungibility effect of transfers. In this sense, the objective of this work is to estimate, from quantile regression models with fixed effects for panel and dynamic panel data, between the period 2013 and 2018, the response of municipal education expenditures to Funded conditional transfers, looking for verify if the resources are, in fact, being directed to education services. The results of the quantile regression model with fixed effects indicate that for each R$ 1 increase in Fundeb transfers, R$ 0,38/capita is allocated to other expenditures, if the quantile with the highest expenditures on education is analyzed. The results of the dynamic panel model, as well as the quantile regression model with fixed effects, indicate that there is fungibility in Fundeb transfers, in which for each increase of R$1 in transfers, R$ 0,46/capita of resources are allocated to other sectors. Therefore, based on the results found, it is concluded that there is evidence of fungibility in Fundeb transfers, thus reducing the quality of education and, in the long term, harming economic development.

This article aims to identify the Blue Zone user profile in the city of Crato (CE) after the implementation of that service and evaluate the efficiency of tax policy for the use of a public good to avoid a known problem in the economy as "tragedy of common ". Data were collected through questionnaires. The methodology used was descriptive and tabular application of mean comparison tests, variance and proportion to identify possible differences in the use of Blue Zone before and after use charges. The results showed that the user profile is predominantly male, with level of education with at least high school and high income. The hypothesis of common tragedy was verified since tests have indicated significant differences between the use of the system before and after recovery. Taxation policy proved effective once the users were satisfied with the system and pointed out that it was easier to find parking space. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The efforts driven by the Comptroller General of the Union - CGU to assess the degree of compliance with provisions of the Access to Information Law (LAI) and reduce the incidence of corruption in the country, enabled the creation of methodologies for measuring the public transparency of states and counties. These requirements respond to pressure from Brazilian society for more transparency and accountability from managers. The present study analyzed the 27 Brazilian states in the period 2015 and 2016. Models with panel data were estimated to identify the influence of socioeconomic, financial-budgetary and political variables on the transparency index of Brazilian states. Characteristics such as the illiteracy rate, the geographical region and the financial condition can cooperate for the incidence of transparency and decrease the practice of illegal acts.

This article aims to analyze the intergenerational mobility of education and income, seeking to identify its determinants in the state of Ceará in the period 1996 to 2009. The evaluation of the dynamics of intergenerational income and education was done by Markov transition matrices. On the other hand, the dynamic analysis of the determinants of intergenerational income and education was conducted through an ordered logit econometric model. The results suggest that during the study period there was a reduction in educational inequality and income in Ceará. In parallel, there is an increase in intergenerational mobility of income and education characterized by an expansion in average years of schooling, the continuing shrinkage of parents of low income and a sharp decline in educational persistence of illiterate parents. The results of the parametric model indicate that there is a strong influence of geographic location, of the racial and gender aspects, in addition to income and educational attributes of the fathers upon the path of education and income determination of the children.
