O presente artigo tem por objetivo apresentar o debate sobre a modernização teatral no Brasil, no final da década de 1930 e início da seguinte. Por meio da pesquisa em jornais e revistas, o artigo traz à tona um conjunto de textos escritos por escritores, dramaturgos e críticos teatrais que se manifestaram sobre o surgimento do teatro amador, identificado com o teatro moderno, e sua oposição ao teatro profissional. Nesse contexto, a estreia de Vestido de noiva, de Nelson Rodrigues, em 1943, consolida a renovação teatral então em curso.

AbstractThis article studies a game between authors and editors. Editors play as leaders while authors are the followers. Authors maximize the number of publications seeking to increase the impact of their work in the literature, captured by citations. Editors maximize the quality of papers they publish in order to increase the reputation of their journals. The main results are: (i) rules aimed at increasing scholars productivity, such as requirements to obtain tenure, increase author's citations and journal's quality; (ii) editors willingness to build journal's reputation hurt journal's quality and increase author's publications; (iii) journal's reputation increases citations and journal's quality.

We examine a model that blends the neoclassical theory of investment with an intertemporal efficiency wage model with turnover costs. Investment decisions in capital are associated with the allocation of labor and the determination of efficiency
wages. The model relates Tobin's q to efficiency wages and, in particular, to the Solow condition. It provides a general
framework to analyze firm's intertemporal choices of capital, labor and efficiency wages.

This paper proposes a simple model to classify economists according to their preferences towards quality and/or quantity of their publications. When more emphasis is placed on quantity they are defined as r‐strategists. When they put more effort in the quality of their papers targeting top journals, they are defined as K‐strategists. It is shown that prestigious departments tend to select K‐strategists. By analyzing which strategy maximizes the influence of an economist in the profession, the paper shows that neither r‐, nor K‐strategists are the winners. The paper conjectures that the economists more likely to be successful in the profession follow the Samuelson‐strategy, which is characterized by a balance between quality and quantity.

The Consultancy disease is a type of rent seeking behavior in academia, and occurs when scholars spend time searching and working in public and private consultancies. It is shown that the Consultancy disease leads to lower equilibrium levels of academic work. Higher standards for scientific productivity and publications help to fight the disease.

Private sector research and development (R&D) in food processing has seen a growing share of agricultural R&D. This paper analyzes market and technological links between farmer-entrepreneurs and food processing firms. It is shown that processing sector R&D tends to display explosive cycles. To avoid explosive cycles, the processing sector sets the R&D growth path and its target. Dynamic adjustments are related to the shadow price of R&D and farm output price. In equilibrium, the effects of increases in technological innovations (e.g., at the farm level, in public agricultural research, from entrepreneurial talent, in processing sector R&D, and in the price of final goods) on agricultural price and output are positive. The patent race does not affect steady-state agricultural price and output, nor processing sector R&D; it only reduces the opportunity cost of R&D.
