Lucia Helena Salgado

Procuramos salientar as principais razões pelas quais o tema da qualidade da governança das instituições deve ocupar lugar de destaque nas agendas de políticas públicas. O conceito de governança aqui é o utilizado na literatura de economia da regulação de foco empírico e com viés normativo, que segue a velha tradição da teoria economia de proposição de políticas públicas para a solução de falhas de mercado. “Governança” é uma elipse de expressão mais ampla, significando “normas de governança de boa (ou alta) qualidade”, cujos princípios basilares são transparência, participação social e prestação de contas. a questão de pesquisa, que motiva …

Lucia Helena Salgado

A agenda de melhoria regulatória é muito mais complexa que parece a princípio. A partir dos diagnósticos traçados neste capítulo, elencam-se a seguir as principais diretrizes de atuação do próximo governo no sentido de aperfeiçoar o modelo de governança das agências reguladoras: 1) Necessidade de garantir autonomia orçamentária e financeira das agências, eximindo-as de contingenciamentos. 2) Aperfeiçoar o método de seleção e nomeação de diretores das agências. 3) Reforçar os quadros de pessoal das agências com mais concursos e política de retenção de talentos, em especial aquelas com maior rotatividade de pessoal. 4) Aumentar os níveis de transparência e accountability …


A New Test For Anticompetitive Litigation, Lucia Helena Salgado, Rafael Pinho De Morais Apr 2013

A New Test For Anticompetitive Litigation, Lucia Helena Salgado, Rafael Pinho De Morais

Lucia Helena Salgado

This paper aims at shedding some light on a very controversial topic in Competition Policy or Antitrust. The anticompetitive litigation – commonly called sham litigation – has been broadly discussed in the legal literature but there is no consensus on how antitrust authorities should handle those cases. Our intention is to offer a new test for evaluating the potential anticompetitive behavior associated with abusing the right of petition. Our challenging objective is to provide a screening device capable of guiding competition authorities around the globe when dealing with the practice of initiating one or a series of lawsuits or administrative …

(Wrongly) Regulating The Cigarettes Market, Lucia Helena Salgado, Humberto Bettini, Rafael Pinho De Morais

Lucia Helena Salgado

This paper aims at exploring the peculiarities of the cigarettes market and its consequences in terms of the desired regulation and the impacts of undesired regulatory measures. The main idea behind the paper is the complementarity of regulatory policies independently implemented by different governmental bodies in the presence of a non- negligible black market, not compliant to any regulation. We build a model where companies choose between going legal or illegal – where the latter includes fake products produced locally as well as smuggled cigarettes, but could be easily extended to apply also to legal brands produced by firms not …

Hence, The Economic Tools Developed To Identify This Kind Of Practice Can Be Useful Here, Too., Lucia Helena Salgado, Rafael Morais Nov 2011

This article critically examines aspects of the recent decision in the Act of Concentration that has approved with restrictions the purchase of Sadia by Perdigão, upholding the Brasil Foods creation – and its unfolding. During the decision-making process in CADE, was sometimes mentioned as being an applicable precedent decision of CADE who approved the Act of concentration on the buying of the Kolynos by Colgate, in 9/18/1996. The goal of this article is twofold: point technical fails in the decision-making process and on the merits of the case Sadia-Perdigão; and demystify any possible association between this and the case Colgate-Kolynos.
