Uma política baseada na penalização fiscal dos rendimentos do trabalho

Não é uma participação maior ou menor do Estado enquanto provedor de bens e serviços que colocará em causa a existência de uma classe média em Portugal. É antes uma política baseada na penalização fiscal dos rendimentos do trabalho e incapaz de fazer do crescimento económico e da criação de emprego os objectivos da política económica. Obviamente que a privatização de serviços públicos ou políticas de preços de serviços desajustadas das reais capacidades de pagar das pessoas são peças desse processo de empobrecimento geral do país (embora haja quem ganhe com isso).

A acção pública na economia

«Claro que é possível a cada momento alterar a lógica da acção pública na economia. Aliás, tal tem sido feito. A questão a levantar é, entretanto, não a que está formulada mas a dos objectivos económicos e sociais que o Estado pretende prosseguir. No discurso dos detentores do poder, esses objectivos são sempre muito meritórios e informados por grandes preocupações de bem-estar social

“Rendimento Acadêmico, o que prediz (e o que não prediz): o caso dos alunos de Ciências Econômicas da UnB”

“The analysis was based in 240 questionnaires answered by students of economics at University of Brasília. Using them, it was tried to make a whole description of the characteristics of these alumni and, in a second moment, to estimate econometric models to identify the causes of academic outcome, measured by the Grade Point Average (GPA) of UnB. The models showed that the amount of study and the frequency in classes are fundamental. Although, it did not find relationship between the participation in the campus social life and GPA. As in previous surveys, women presented better grades than men. Quota students, however, had lower GPAs than others. Finally, when a logistic regression was estimated to determine the probability of a fail, the time spent studying had little significance, as long as, the number of absences and subjects were the most important variables.”
