Reflecting its loose seminal definition (Epstein, 2005), financialisation has been differently conceptualised. Those conceptions go from a microeconomic approach focused on shareholder value, the detrimental effects of financialisation as a new regime of accumulation, to the growing significance of finance in daily life and culture (van der Zwan, 2014).

This decision did not come from the municipal level, but a courtroom decision. Subsequently, some municipalities in the state of São Paulo also decided to take up the juvenile curfew. In order to verify the effect of the ordinance in reducing crime, this article uses the difference in difference estimation to calculate the causal impact of the implementation of the ordinance in relation to municipalities that not adopted. Thus, the ordinance caused a decrease of 17.5% in thefts per thousand inhabitants in municipalities that adopted the ordinance.

M. Reducing road fatalities is a key policy concern in several countries. Nonetheless, there is limited evidence on whether highway concessions and Public Private Partnerships (PPP) can bring road safety benefits, despite the growing number of countries adopting this policy to finance and manage road infrastructure. In this paper, we use a difference-in-differences approach to examine the causal effect of highway concessions on road safety outcomes using daily crash data from Brazilian Federal highways between 2007-2017. We find that concessions significantly improve road safety measures, including fatality rates and the number of people and vehicles involved in crashes. On average, procured roads had 15 fewer deaths then publicly managed highways for every 1000 crashes each year, and avoided 16 thousand deaths between 2007-2017. Moreover, these effects are marginally larger for every additional year of treatment but only become statistically significant a few years after the concession implementation. Finally, our results suggest that including safety-based incentives in concession contracts can substantially improve road safety performance.

C.; Carrillo, Bladimir; Mata, Daniel da; Silva, Lucas Emanuel da; Sampaio, Breno The provision of clean water is a key factor for poverty reduction and economic development. This study uses a difference-in-differences research design to evaluate the impact of a water policy in Brazil that distributed cisterns for water storage to poor families in rural areas on labor market outcomes. Our findings show that receiving a cistern had a positive impact on the probability of getting formal jobs and increased the wages of beneficiaries. The effect was stronger for jobs with longer commuting times, indicating that access to clean water can help reduce time spent on daily chores and increase labor force participation. Our results provide evidence of the important role that water policies can play in reducing poverty and promoting economic development, particularly in rural areas with limited access to clean water.
