Journal of Internet Services and Applications (2015) 6:17 DOI 10.1186/s13174-015-0032-6 RESEARCH Open Access A study on the geographical distribution of Brazil’s prestigious software developers Fernando Figueira Filho1*, Marcelo Gattermann Perin2, Christoph Treude1, Sabrina Marczak3, Leandro Melo1, Igor Marques da Silva1 and Lucas Bibiano dos Santos1 Abstract Brazil is an emerging economy with many IT initiatives from public and private sectors. To evaluate the progress of such initiatives, we study the geographical distribution of software developers in Brazil, in particular which of the Brazilian states succeed the most in attracting and nurturing them. We compare the prestige of developers with socio-economic data and find that (i) prestigious developers tend to be located in the most economically developed regions of Brazil, (ii) they are likely to follow others in the same state they are located in, (iii) they are likely to follow other prestigious developers, and (iv) they tend to follow more people. We discuss the implications of those findings for the development of the Brazilian software industry.

  • In Search of the Amazon: Brazil, the United States, and the Nature of A
    IN SEARCH OF THE AMAZON AMERICAN ENCOUNTERS/GLOBAL INTERACTIONS A series edited by Gilbert M. Joseph and Emily S. Rosenberg This series aims to stimulate critical perspectives and fresh interpretive frameworks for scholarship on the history of the imposing global pres- ence of the United States. Its primary concerns include the deployment and contestation of power, the construction and deconstruction of cul- tural and political borders, the fluid meanings of intercultural encoun- ters, and the complex interplay between the global and the local. American Encounters seeks to strengthen dialogue and collaboration between histo- rians of U.S. international relations and area studies specialists. The series encourages scholarship based on multiarchival historical research. At the same time, it supports a recognition of the represen- tational character of all stories about the past and promotes critical in- quiry into issues of subjectivity and narrative. In the process, American Encounters strives to understand the context in which meanings related to nations, cultures, and political economy are continually produced, chal- lenged, and reshaped.

  • STATE-OWNED ENTERPRISES in BRAZIL: HISTORY and LESSONS by Aldo Musacchio and Sergio G
    Workshop on State-Owned Enterprises in the Development Process Paris, 4 April 2014 OECD Conference Centre, Room 4 STATE-OWNED ENTERPRISES IN BRAZIL: HISTORY AND LESSONS by Aldo Musacchio and Sergio G. Lazzarini This paper serves as background material for the Workshop on SOEs in the Development Process taking place in Paris on 4 April 2014. It was prepared by Aldo Musacchio and Sergio G. Lazzarini working as consultants for the OECD Secretariat. The opinions and views expressed and arguments employed herein are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect or represent the official views of the OECD or of the governments of its member countries. STATE-OWNED ENTERPRISES IN BRAZIL: HISTORY AND LESSONS Aldo Musacchio Harvard Business School and NBER Sergio G. Lazzarini Insper Prepared for The Working Party on State-Ownership and Privatisation Practices OECD (Revised version, February 28, 2014) INTRODUCTION Despite decades of liberalization and privatization in many countries, state ownership and state-led business activity remains widespread (Christiansen, 2011). Governments still often use state-owned enterprises (SOEs) to promote local development and invest in sectors in which private investment is scant. Many SOEs endured over the years and turned into large corporations partnering with market investors and competing on a global scale against private multinationals. The forms of ownership and control governments use in the set of surviving SOEs is, however, poorly understood. Beyond the traditional wholly-owned SOEs, governments also intervene to support specific industries by propping up privately held enterprises (i.e., “national champions”). These private firms receive government support in the form of minority equity investments, direct subsidized loans from development banks, and equity and debt purchases by sovereign wealth funds.

    4, 2014 A caption of an environmental friendly plant in Brazil. 1 INTRODUCTION This is a quarterly publication by the Embassy of Brazil in Nairobi which aims at creating awareness on the existing trade and investment opportunities between Brazil and Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi. This fourth quarter edition is the last for 2014 and it will focus on trade and investment opportunities for Brazilian companies in the area of medical supplies and equipment, heavy industrial machinery and equipment, food processing machinery and technology and modern cattle and poultry farming techniques. These sectors have contributed immensely in spurring trade and investment between Brazil and its trading partners across the globe. In retrospect, the first edition published in March captured how to do business and invest in Brazil and how to import from Brazil. The second edition published in May focused on Brazil’s investments in infrastructure and tourism in readiness for the FIFA World Cup tournament that was held in Brazil from 12th June to 13th July. The third edition that was published in July focused on Brazil’s investments in the agricultural sector that propelled her to global economic status. BRAZIL’S TRADE AND INVESTMENT PROMOTION SYSTEM The Department of Trade and Investment Promotion (DPR) is the unit of the Ministry of External Relations (MRE) responsible for developing and implementing Brazilian exports, foreign investment promotion policies and dissemination of national tourism products. In working with other organizations of the Federal Public Administration, DPR is responsible for matching up Brazilian exports to external demand and stimulating foreign investments.

  • Brazil: Capital Goods Industry During the 2003-2008 Boom and Following the Global Crisis
    Brazil: capital goods industry during the 2003-2008 boom and following the global crisis Guilherme Riccioppo Magacho ABSTRACT The capital goods industry is essential for technological development and long-term economic growth without external restrictions. After a long period of stagnation, investment growth resumed in Brazil in 2003 and brought renewed vigor to the capital goods industry. Nevertheless, the industry is very diverse, and some sectors have failed to meet rising demand where others have succeeded, namely those with high technological potential such as suppliers of machinery for the oil, mining and construction industries and makers of transportation and electrical generation and distribution equipment. Those sectors continued to expand even in the wake of the 2008 global crisis and have been barely touched by foreign competition. KEYWORDS Industry, capital goods, industrial development, industrial policy, Brazil JEL CLASSIFICATION J60, O14, F14 AUTHOR Guilherme Riccioppo Magacho has a doctorate in Land Economy from Cambridge University, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
