Social Common Capital

Brazil, with its rich natural resources and ongoing efforts toward sustainable development and addressing social inequality, plays a critical role in advancing planetary health. The Amazon rainforest, its rich biodiversity, and vast water resources are essential for environmental sustainability and the health and well-being of populations locally and globally. We aim to collaborate to safeguard these resources while fostering systems that enhance societal well-being and healthcare outcomes.

Social Common Capital (SCC), as proposed by Japanese economist Hirofumi Uzawa, offers a framework for sustainable societies, integrating environmental preservation with public health and social equity. Following last year’s symposium in Indonesia Jakarta, the Research Division of Social Common Capital and the Future at Kyoto University is convening this symposium in Brazil to strengthen our partnership and explore the transdisciplinary impact of SCC on planetary health. We look forward to learning from Brazil’s experiences and jointly advancing sustainable and health-promoting practices on a global scale.

Insensitive Multinationals? Competitive Subsidies and Carbon and Corporate Income Taxes

Emilson Caputo Delfino Silva

Vander Mendes Lucas

One of the crucial aspects of international mobility of firms that we wish to consider is the fiscal stimulus that a nation may offer to multinationals but not to domestic firms. The subsidy is the policy instrument that allows each nation to control the size of its industry. Our simple international economy enables us to identify the effects that international mobility cause to the allocation of resources. We examine two scenarios, one in which multinationals are insensitive and another in which multinationals are sensitive. Multinationals are insensitive if their mobility decisions do not depend on subsidies and taxes. In the Nash equilibrium with insensitive multinationals, each nation overprovides its national public good. With symmetric tax bases, both nations provide equal amounts of public goods and set their relative carbon taxes efficiently. We find that if nations need to make efforts to attract multinationals, they will be more sensitive to the tax burden that its taxes cause to multinationals. The optimal national subsidy policies nullify the excessive burden that multinationals face relative to domestic firms. As the optimal national policies for provision of public goods and control of carbon emissions demonstrate, the nations essentially treat multinationals as domestic firms in the setting with sensitive multinationals. The relative carbon tax rate in the resource-poor nation exceeds the efficient rate, and the latter exceeds the relative carbon tax rate the resource-rich nation charges.

Keywords: insensitive multinationals, corporate income tax, carbon tax, subsidies.

Análise dos Impactos de Choques em Preços de Combustíveis na Competição entre Empresas Aéreas

Cicero Rodrigues de Melo Filho

Davi Prado Novais Moura

Vander Mendes Lucas

Francisco Gildemir Ferreira da Silva

This paper investigates the effects of exogenous cost shocks on the competition between Full Service Carriers (FSC) and Low Fare Carriers (LFC) in the airline industry. We develop an oligopoly model of airline competition with exogenous fuel costs and simulate increases in total costs. We apply the model to the case of the most important Brazilian domestic route, using airline/route-specific demand and costs data. The contribution of this paper relies on the empirical model of asymmetric economies of density for the competing business models applied to fuel cost shocks. Results show that LFC’s Airlines suffer greater losses of markup and demand in comparison with their rival (FSC), however they also increase the price proportionally more than their rivals. We find that, on account of the airlines have similar sizes, less changes were observed which gives a more predictable environmental to consumers. The results are attenuated by higher economies of density, but amplified by higher price-elasticities of demand and lower economic growth.

Keywords: Airlines; Markups; Fuel cost pass-through; Oligopoly; Industrial Organization.

Testing the Algebraic Modeling of Competitive Impacts from Wage Premium Shocks. A Case Study from a Booming Airline Market

Cicero Rodrigues de Melo Filho

Vander Mendes Lucas

Francisco Gildemir Ferreira da Silva

Alessandro Vinicius Marques de Oliveira

Labor relations issues such as collective bargaining and strike threat power have recently gained increased attention in the Brazilian air transportation market due to a short-term shortage of qualified workforce, leading stronger pilot unions to demand higher wages and better working conditions. Exacerbated by the notable expansion of the Brazilian economy between 2020 and 2023, where air travel demand surged by 60%, this pressure has driven labor costs to grow more rapidly than other cost categories. This paper examines exogenous flight crew cost shocks, treating these as increases in wage premiums resulting from stronger unionization and higher labor market rents. Using a differentiated duopoly model, we analyze the impact of these wage increases on competition between a major network carrier and a small low-fare carrier, introducing the hypothesis of non-exhausted economies of density. Our findings indicate that smaller airlines are more adversely affected by labor cost shocks, though differentiated wage increase schemes can mitigate these impacts, reducing market concentration and preserving consumer welfare. This study contributes to the literature by incorporating wage premium shocks into existing models and suggesting that labor regulations in Brazil should be liberalized to address the rapid growth in air transportation demand and the resultant workforce shortage.
