Brazil is a country with climate conditions that range from tropical rain forest to temperate savanna regions in the southern part of the country. When one travels from north to south and west to east, and from sea level to altitudes of 1,300 meters, it is possible to examine the results of a stochastic process and a range of global warming experiences. Therefore looking at the relationship between health and climate in Brazil could help to explain the impact of climate change on the health of the population. The objective of this study is to understand the relationship between health and climate after taking into account the interaction between man and nature represented by the level of economic development and the effects of policies to create a more (or less) adequate life environment.

Research Network Working Paper, 436. Social exclusion and the two-tiered healthcare system of Brazil / Denisard Alves 

Público ISBD Título de serie: Research Network Working Paper, 436 Título : Social exclusion and the two-tiered healthcare system of Brazil Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: Denisard Alves ; Christopher Timmins Editorial: Washington : Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo Fecha de publicación: 2001 Número de páginas: 36 p Idioma : Inglés Temas: ATENCION MEDICA BANCO INTERAMERICANO DE DESARROLLO BRASIL EXCLUSION SOCIAL SERVICIOS DE SALUD Clasificación: 338.9 Resumen: In Brazil, there exists a two-tiered system of healthcare access. Those with sufficient means have access to a private system of healthcare that provides quality treatment on demand, while the remainder of the country relies on an overburdened system of public clinics and hospitals. Household survey data are used to determine which socio-demographic groups rely most on this public healthcare system. Current demographic trends suggest that the public healthcare infrastructure will become more and more heavily used in the coming decades. A stylized model of healthcare choice is estimated, and its parameters are used to conduct counterfactual simulations of the welfare implications of this increased congestion, and of policies to offset it, like private healthcare subsidies.
