Evidence

A Cedeplar-UFMG study (Dias Filho, Resende and Carvalho) estimated, by ARIMAX with quarterly data from 2002.1 to 2023.1, that the Lava Jato intercept dummy (post-plea-agreement period, from 2014.2) has a negative sign and is significant at 5% (coefficient -1.250; standard error 0.499; p = 0.014) in the private investment equation, and that the interaction dummies indicate lower sensitivity of investment to credit.

Study estimateEstimate

The Cedeplar study mentions the DIEESE study (2021) and reproduces, in Table 1, DIEESE's results (4.4 million jobs, R$244 bn in value added, R$47 bn in taxes, R$85 bn in wage bill, R$20 bn in social security and FGTS, 3.6% of GDP); it adds its own calculation of the Rasmussen-Hirschman linkage indices with the IBGE matrix of 2010 and 2015.
