Estrutura de comércio inter-regional no Brasil: uma análise espacial de insumo-produto para o período 1996 e 2002
The main aim of this paper is identify and calculate the evolution of inter-regional interdependence among the Brazilian states based on an interregional input-output matrix. The matrices were constructed for 1996 and 2002 and were elaborated by FIPE/USP. In the present paper, we will focus on the natures and the spatial structure of interdependence among the Brazilian sates. Thus, this paper wants to analyze the interactions in a wide perspective. To do this the analysis will be divided into two steps. The firs one will be based on the extraction method (see Dietzenbacher et al., 1993 and Perobelli et al., 2006) that enable us to identify the structure of interactions among the Brazilian states. The method will give us which is the forward dependence (output destiny) and backward dependence (source of sales). The second step will be based on the idea of model explicitly distance in the input-output model that is very important to analyze trade and do not is considered in the input-output approach. In order to implement the second step we will incorporate space into the extraction method results. This will be implemented through the global and local indicators of spatial association. Thus, in this step we will verify how important are distance for the interregional and intraregional interactions.

Regional economic impacts of the Brumadinho tailing dam rupture disaster in Minas Gerais (Brazil) based on labor productivity changes
On 25 January 2019, the Brazilian village of Brumadinho, in the mining-heavy state of Minas Gerais, was taken by the tailings of Córrego do Feijão's dam. This dam rupture is arguably one of the worst human and environmental disasters, leaving over 250 people dead and spreading several ore tailing into Paraopeba River and the surrounding area. The toxic waste of the mine dispersed towards the villages along the Doce River basin and reached the Atlantic coast. As a typical case of negative externalities, this type of disaster leaves behind large-scale environmental and economic damages at local and regional levels. This paper aims to analyze the impact of Brumadinho dam failure in Minas Gerais (Brazil) from a labor productivity perspective. In this sense, it has translated the effects of the disaster into changes in productivity through World Bank estimates. The simulations primarily used Input-Output techniques to assess the economic structure and role of mining. Second, B-MARIA Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model estimates regional effects as a function of changes in labor productivity. Input-Output Matrix database had obtained using IIOAS methodology, in which the cities directly affected are disaggregated with data referring to the year 2015. The result showed Brumadinho could have an accumulated loss of 1.17% of GDP in up to four years and the other municipalities of 1.81%. There is a loss of competitiveness concerning sectoral activity and exports. The manufacturing sectors are the most affected by the simulations applied. Finally, mining production is relevant to local economy, especially for Brumadinho, so security policies about extractive production are significant so that tragedies like this do not happen again.
Two weddings and a lawsuit: Marriage litigation in fourteenth-century Portugal
Based on one of the few surviving records of marriage cases brought before
 ecclesiastical courts in fourteenth-century Portugal, this article offers a rare
 glimpse of marriage practice in a small village in a remote corner of Western Europe
 and the complex ties that bound its inhabitants and which secular and ecclesiastical
 authorities sought to regulate. Clear parallels can be drawn with the patterns of
 marriage litigation observed in England and Northern France, but evidence also
 suggests that royal legislation played an important part in the resolution of marital
 disputes and in the shaping of conjugal behaviour.
