Resumo: The objective of this study is to analyze how liquidity shocks affect households\' decisions related to entrepreneurial activities in order to identify whether households are liquidity constrained. This study focused on households\' responses to anticipated income shocks, via the receipt of pension benefits, since under complete markets, decisions should not be affected by a liquidity shock when the timing and amount of that shock are known. We exploited the fact that eligibility rules for old age pension were partially determined by age and used a Fuzzy Regression Discontinuity Design to estimate the causal effects. The results suggest that Brazilian small business owners in the informal sector of the economy are liquidity constrained.

Esse trabalho teve como foco a análise das respostas dos domicílios a choques antecipados de renda, advindas da aposentadoria, desde que com mercados completos, decisões não devem ser afetadas por um choque de liquidez quando o momento e a quantidade do choque são conhecidos. Utilizamos regressão descontínua para estimar este efeito causal, dado que a elegibilidade para aposentadoria por idade é parcialmente determinada pela idade do indivíduo. Os resultados sugerem que proprietários de pequenas empresas brasileiras do setor informal da economia sofrem problemas de liquidez.Biblioteca Digitais de Teses e Dissertações da USPMadeira, Gabriel de AbreuTorello, Eugenia Josefina Fernandez2015-11-27info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://www.teses.usp.br/teses/disponiveis/12/12138/tde-21012016-122711/reponame:Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertações da USPinstname:Universidade de São Paulo (USP)instacron:USPLiberar o conteúdo para acesso público.info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesseng2017-09-04T21:06:17Zoai:teses.usp.br:tde-21012016-122711Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertaçõeshttp://www.teses.usp.br/PUBhttp://www.teses.usp.br/cgi-bin/mtd2br.plvirginia@if.usp.br|| atendimento@aguia.usp.br||virginia@if.usp.bropendoar:27212017-09-04T21:06:17Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertações da USP - Universidade de São Paulo (USP)false
