Understanding how this activity works and participate in its conduct, directly or indirectly, is an essential condition for the effective exercise of citizenship. In recent years there has been increasing the demand for transparency in public affairs, especially in economic and financial issues of government. Informing the public is fundamental to the social control of the state. However, it is also a significant challenge for those who are in charge of this purpose. It is operating a set of data too extensive and highly complex.

  • Of Political Instability in Brazil, 1889-2009
    Index of political instability in Brazil, 1889-2009 Jaime Jordan Costantini and Mauricio Vaz Lobo Bittencourt ABSTRACT This article aims to develop an index of political instability (INS) in Brazil between 1889 and 2009, reflecting a wide-ranging set of multiple phenomena that represent conflicts between the different social groups. By presenting different definitions of what is understood by political instability in the economics literature and by using multiple historical events —coups d’état, civil conflicts, constitutional or unconstitutional overthrow and changes in the composition of 50% of the ministerial cabinet— different indicators are obtained which are then synthesized into a single index using the principal component technique, to obtain an INS for Brazil between 1889 and 2009. KEYWORDS Political history, political conditions, measurement, statistical methodology, statistical data, Brazil JEL CLASSIFICATION N00, O54, P16 AUTHORS Jaime Jordan Costantini is a member of the research group of the International Economy and Economic Development Unit (neide) of the Federal University of Paraná (ufpr), Brazil.
