Brazil can be a leader in the race to decarbonize aviation. This new policy brief by @nzpolicylab.bsky.social and @emaisenergia.bsky.social lays out how Brazil needs policy to leverage its biofuel expertise to lead the global SAF transition. www.netzeropolicylab.com/pathways-saf-brazil

My first task at the @nzpolicylab.bsky.social was to contribute to a report on my home country. This is the final product. A recognition of the merits of Brazilian Industrial Policy with points of attention to make Brazil a leader in the energy transition.

Que texto! www1.folha.uol.com.br/colunas/flav...

The Brazilian "market actors" are shameless. Big rally with the news of Lula's new surgery.

Raúl Prebisch (the feline) a little sleepy with my next class...

My students are not ready for the amount of Industrial Policy nerdiness and speculations on Brazilian Green Industrial Policy that I'm about to throw at them...

Excellent new paper by Juan Bogliaccini and Aldo Madariaga. One wonders whether 'opportunity hoarding' can also be applied to incumbent sectors' opposition to diversification strategies and industrial policies in Latin America. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

A surpresa da imprensa (e do tal mercado) c/ os resultados positivos do Brasil e os negativos da Argentina resultam dos anos de crença cega em um aparato teórico que nunca foi grande coisa, mas hoje está ainda mais defasado. Torcer pra melhorar, mas sem grandes esperanças...

Just signed the contract for my next chapter! In January, I’ll join @bentleyallan.bsky.social , @70sbachchan.bsky.social , and the amazing team at JHU's Net Zero Industrial Policy Lab as Senior Research Associate for Latin America. Excited to help shape industrial policies in the region!

So, let me see if I got this straight. The guy who fired people to the point of breaking Twitter (and tried to hire some back) is now in charge of firing people in the US government? Cool, cool...

So, China and Brazil signed a bunch of MoUs (and other agreements) yesterday. I will follow the numbering done by the Brazilian government: www.gov.br/mre/pt-br/ca... I was taking a look at the 'most relevant' ones for development and industrial policy. Let's do a thread with the highlights...

www.gov.br/mre/pt-br/ca... Brazil's Industrial Policy Plan may get a leg up from Chinese investments... we'll see...

If green industrial policy doesn’t speak to people’s needs, it’s doomed to fail as a political project in a time of the rise of the far right. Great G20 side event in Rio @phenomenalworld.bsky.social @cebrapazbr.bsky.social @lauraabcarvalho @pedrolrossi.bsky.social

📢Glad to share my article "Currency Internationalization, payment infrastructures and central banks: An institutional analysis of renminbi internationalization" is out at Research in International Business and Finance🧵 Article www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Blog www.bu.edu/gdp/2024/11/...

Tá faltando brasileiro nesse site pra comentar sobre os milicos.

What sticks out is that out of the 5 top receivers of fiscal benefits, 3 are in the meat sector. This sector received HUGE benefits with no strings attached during Brazil's industrial policy push in the 2010s. @dasilvapp.bsky.social and I wrote about it here: shorturl.at/QgA6n

The Brazilian Finance Ministry, amidst mainstream media and 'market-actors' calls for austerity, has released the main beneficiaries of--let's say perennial--fiscal benefits. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Great list of scholars of Latin America: go.bsky.app/5WzEcJ1

Boston, what have you done to me? Just caught myself literally rooting for the Patriots...

I wanted to start a 'democratic industrial policy' starter pack (the list wouldn't be very long), but many important names are not in here yet.

Join us in the IPE & friends starter pack!

Got a great piece of professional news today. Happy happy. SOLTA O TANTÃ! youtu.be/09_s_Kh8sls?...

It’s been a while since I felt this anxious about checking my email inbox…

Every year, Brazilians wake up to a news piece saying that deforestation was the largest responsible for emissions. Messaging that growth model change--and some industrialization--is the only way for BR to grow sustainably could mobilize the public in favor of industrial policy.
