    Asymptotically Efficient Estimation of Models Defined by Convex Moment Inequalities
    with H. Kaido
    This paper examines the efficient estimation of partially identified models defined by moment inequalities that are convex in the parameter of interest. In such a setting, the identified set is itself convex and hence fully characterized by its support function. We provide conditions under which, despite being an infinite dimensional parameter, the support function admits √n-consistent regular estimators. A semiparametric efficiency bound is then derived for its estimation, and it is shown that …Read more

    Francis Bacon: As duas faces da ciência
    with José Sandro Santos Hora
    Dissertatio 41 83-98. 2015.
    A ciência pode ser útil ao homem, aprimorando sua capacidade técnica, melhorando as condições de vida e propiciando a aquisição de poder frente à natureza, mas ela pode, igualmente, amedrontar e causar danos até a morte. Numa ou noutra face, o fundamental é que o cientista desenvolva sua pesquisa numa relação de proximidade com os valores éticos. Assim, o objetivo desse artigo é analisar as duas faces da ciência na filosofia de Bacon.

    Considerações Sobre o Tema do Ateísmo em Locke
    Philosophica: International Journal for the History of Philosophy 23 (45): 21-37. 2015.
    John Locke was one of the first modern thinkers to publish a work devoted entirely to the theme of tolerance in the late seventeenth century. In his work, however, Locke presents limits: atheists are not tolerated. Thus, the aim of this article is to think about this tension in the Lockean political thought.

    Berkeley and Mandeville: Religion and morality
    Filosofia Unisinos 12 (1): 56-69. 2011.
    The purpose of this text is to analyze the debate between Berkeley’s Alciphron and Mandeville’s The fable of the bees and Letter to Dion, focusing on the questions indirectly raised by Berkeley to his opponent: Would there be a place for religion in Mandeville’s society or in his social, political and economic system? If so, what role would it play? Without religion, on what foundations would morality in social life be based? Key words: Berkeley, Mandeville, morality.
