PANEL DATA ANALYSIS: THE INFLUENCE OF CLIMATIC VARIABLES ON MEDICINES SALES IN SOUTHERN BRAZIL

Este artigo propõe a construção de um modelo econométrico para a análisedo impacto das variáveis climáticas sobre a venda de medicamentos. Para isso, foramcoletadas informações de venda de 262 farmácias da região Sul do Brasil, representando mais de 80 milhões de transações comerciais, durante o período de janeiro de 2012a junho de 2016.

Generalized Method Of Moment

Financial development could exert various effects on income distribution of a country. By employing Generalized Method of Moment, this paper aims at examining the impacts of credit market depth, one of most used financial development barometers, on income inequality in Vietnam. The empirical findings show that expanding credit market in the country could lead to higher income inequality. We have not found evidence that supports the hypothesis of an inverted U-shaped relation ever introduced by Greenwood and Jovanovich, although this hypothesis may still hold in a sense that Vietnam has not reached to the inflection point to generate such a curve alike.
