4 editions published in 2002 in English and held by 25 libraries worldwide
Preliminary evidence favors focusing safety net scholarships (designed to reduce dropout rates during an economic crisis) on lower secondary schools, continuing to target children (especially older students) from large families, scaling back scholarships to private schools at the lower secondary level, or targeting the households hurt most by the crisis.

Trade liberalization, employment flows and wage inequality in Brazil by Francisco H. G Ferreira( Book )
3 editions published in 2007 in English and held by 22 libraries worldwide
Using nationally representative, economywide data, this paper investigates the relative importance of trade-mandated effects on industry wage premia; industry and economywide skill premia; and employment flows in accounting for changes in the wage distribution in Brazil during the 1988-95 trade liberalization. Unlike in other Latin American countries, trade liberalization appears to have made a significant contribution toward a reduction in wage inequality. These effects have not occurred through changes in industry-specific (wage or skill) premia. Instead, they appear to have been channeled through substantial employment flows across sectors and formality categories. Changes in the economywide skill premium are also important.
