Podcast appearances and mentions of rodrigo zeidan

O WW Especial deste domingo (1º) debate se "O governo está deitado em berço esplêndido?". Participam deste programa Rodrigo Zeidan, professor da NYU Shanghai e da FDC, Christopher Garman, diretor-executivo para as Américas do grupo Eurasia, e Bolívar Lamounier, sociólogo e cientista político.

O presidente Lula (PT) vai participar do Fórum Celac-China, evento que acontece em Pequim e que reúne chefes de Estado da América Latina, do Caribe e de países asiáticos. O analista de Política da CNN Caio Junqueira, o analista de Internacional da CNN Lourival Sant'Anna, o analista sênior de Internacional da CNN, Américo Martins, Rodrigo Zeidan, professor da NYU Shanghai e da FDC, e Thiago Aragão, CEO da Arko Advice Internacional, comentam o assunto.

A China decidiu deixar de lado as taxações pontuais e passou a dobrar a aposta no aumento das tarifas, demonstrando que pode vencer a guerra comercial. A analista de Economia da CNN Thais Herédia, o analista de Internacional da CNN Lourival Sant'Anna, Rodrigo Zeidan, professor da NYU Shanghai e da FDC, e Carlos Gustavo Poggio, professor de Ciência Política do Berea College, comentam o assunto.

De tudo que o Brasil exporta, mais de 30% vai para os chineses – em 2023, a soma das vendas bateu os US$ 100 bilhões, o que deve se repetir em 2024. Para nosso maior parceiro comercial, mandamos, principalmente, minério de ferro, soja e petróleo; e recebemos mais bilhões de dólares, fundamentais para o crescimento do agronegócio e da indústria. Ou seja, qualquer ruído na economia chinesa pode ser muito sentido por aqui. E, por lá, sinais de alerta foram ligados. Depois de meses seguidos com indicadores abaixo do esperado, ficou mais difícil atingir a meta de crescimento estabelecida pelo governo para este ano: 5% – o que já seria um índice tímido em relação às últimas décadas. O governo de Xi Jinping decidiu agir, e lançou um pacote de medidas que envolve corte na taxa de juros, facilitação de crédito e injeção de cerca de US$ 140 bilhões na economia chinesa. Neste episódio, para explicar o que motivou o pacote econômico e como ele irá repercutir, Julia Duailibi conversa com Rodrigo Zeidan, professor da New York University Shanghai e da Fundação Dom Cabral, que fala diretamente de Xangai. Participa também Cláudia Trevisan, diretora-executiva do Conselho Empresarial Brasil-China, que analisa os impactos da medida neste lado do mundo.

China has loosened its COVID curbs with an aim of reviving its dampened economy. With both internal and external pressures, how long will it take before the Chinese economy can get back on track? What may be the biggest risk threatening its recovery? To find out, host Tu Yun is joined by Dr. Liu Baocheng, Director of the Center for International Business Ethics, University of International Business and Economics, Rodrigo Zeidan, Professor of Practice of Business and Finance, New York University Shanghai, and John Ross, Senior Fellow at the Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies, Renmin University of China.

A política de Covid zero adotada pelo governo chinês fez a nação com a maior população do mundo registrar menos de 31 mil mortes em quase três anos de pandemia. Com o recente aumento do número de casos, novos lockdowns foram adotados. E parte da população se mostra insatisfeita, principalmente depois de um incêndio matar dez pessoas em uma cidade no oeste do país. Neste episódio, Natuza Nery conversa com Rodrigo Zeidan. Professor da Universidade de Nova York em Xangai e da Fundação Dom Cabral, ele relata direto da China como – ao contrário do que se pensa – protestos são comuns por lá. Você vai ouvir: - Zeidan revela o caráter espontâneo e descentralizado das manifestações, o que inibe punições significativas; - Como os valores do confucionismo orientam a maioria dos chineses a endossar a política de Covid zero; - Nomeado pelo Partido para um terceiro mandato de 5 anos, Xi Jinping "seguramente vai terminar o mandato”, diz Zeidan, mesmo com parte da população insatisfeita.

No episódio, Ana Frazão conversa com Rodrigo Zeidan, Professor da NYU Shangai e da Fundação Dom Cabral sobre a sua trajetória de pesquisa e seus temas de interesse, como é o caso da sustentabilidade e as relações entre gestão financeira, desenvolvimento econômico, finanças sustentáveis e a importância dos modelos de gestão de risco. O fio condutor do diálogo é a perspectiva mais generalista adotada pelo Professor e sua preocupação em buscar soluções viáveis para os problemas estudados a partir de uma visão que não fique no terreno das utopias e das ideias mas sim, pelo contrário, leve em consideração os limites políticos e organizacionais. O professor explica o que o levou a editar, juntamente com Fabio Giambiagi, o livro “Apelo à razão: a reconciliação com a lógica econômica”, em que buscam mostrar como o debate econômico ocorre no Brasil e quais são as perspectivas para a solução de alguns dos nossos principais problemas. O Professor também trata da importância da educação e das políticas de transferência de renda para os mais pobres para a superação da armadilha da renda média em que nos encontramos.

The Sino-US agreement on audit oversight is expected to avert delisting of Chinese firms on the US stock market. But how much of a concern will it cause in terms of disclosure of sensitive information? Will it lead to an exodus of US-listed Chinese firms? How helpful is such a deal in mending bilateral economic relations? Joining host Tu Yun are Liu Zhiqin, Senior Fellow, Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies of Renmin University of China, Rodrigo Zeidan, Professor of Practice of Business and Finance, New York University Shanghai, and Edward Lehman, founder and managing director of China-based law firm Lehman, Lee & Xu on this episode of Chat Lounge.

China's economy grew by 4.8 percent in the first quarter compared to the same period last year. This growth rate is lower than the annual target of 5.5 percent set by the central government, but it is still higher than the predictions made by a slew of international institutes. Can the growth momentum last? Will the annual target be reached? Or does the growth rate really matter? To find out, host Tu Yun is joined by Dr. John Gong, Professor of Economics at the University of International Business and Economics, Rodrigo Zeidan, Associate Professor of Practice of Business and Finance, New York University Shanghai, and author and commentator Thomas Pauken II.

Rodrigo Zeidan, Professor da NYU Shanghai e Fundação Dom Cabral - 13/04/2022 by Rádio Gaúcha

Como conflitos ocorrendo em uma determinada parte do mundo podem afetar a vida de milhões de pessoas pelo globo? Neste episódio dos Debates, os professores da FDC, Paulo Vicente Alves e Rodrigo Zeidan, discutem como cenários geopolíticos conturbados como da guerra entre Rússia e Ucrânia pode influenciar o funcionamento de mercados e organizações, afetando assim a vida de inúmeras pessoas inclusive aqui no Brasil. Qual o papel da China nesse contexto e quais os pontos que ainda passam despercebidos no que tange este capítulo da geopolítica contemporânea. Imagem ilustrativa do podcast Jordy Meow via Unsplash

Um cordão sanitário nas fronteiras e dezenas de milhões de pessoas em lockdowns focalizados. Às vésperas de seu principal feriado e de um evento global em Pequim, o país que primeiro identificou o novo coronavírus segue com as medidas mais draconianas para contê-lo. Aliada a uma taxa de vacinação superior a 85%, essa estratégia conseguiu segurar as mortes pela doença num patamar comparativamente baixo (em torno de 5 mil registradas desde o início da pandemia, contra mais de 850 mil nos EUA, por exemplo). Mas agora é questionada tanto do ponto de vista da eficácia (a variante ômicron já está presente em pelo menos 7 das 31 províncias) quanto de efeitos colaterais (recuperação insuficiente da atividade). Professor da Universidade de Nova York em Xangai, o economista Rodrigo Zeidan conta como funciona na prática: “Se um caso for detectado num condomínio, as autoridades fecham o lugar com quem estiver dentro” e promovem testagem em massa. Empresas e governos estrangeiros podem torcer o nariz, mas essa abordagem tem “alto apoio popular”, afirma. Participa também do episódio o jornalista Carlos Gil, que por mais de três anos foi correspondente da TV Globo na Ásia. É ele quem explica as rígidas regras da “bolha” onde ficarão atletas e demais envolvidos nas Olimpíadas de Inverno, a partir de 4 de fevereiro na capital chinesa. Como público, nas arenas, apenas convidados e em número restrito. Gil compara esse ambiente ao dos Jogos de Tóquio, em 2021. “Na China, quem pisar fora do circuito fechado vai sofrer sanções”, até mesmo deportação.

Neste episódio, Jojo Washman e Roberta Scrivano trocam uma ideia com professor Rodrigo Zeidan, doutor em economia pela UFRJ, sobre a China, país que possui o segundo maior PIB do mundo e que, nos últimos anos, chamou a atenção pelo rápido crescimento. Um dos principais pontos desse bate papo gira em torno do sistema socialista de mercado do gigante asiático, que mesmo com premissas de igualdade social, ainda enfrenta extrema disparidade de renda entre os chineses. Além disso, eles comentam sobre os investimentos no país de Xi Jinping e o potencial de influência dessa economia no mercado mundial.

Developing countries are facing a difficult time in defending their interests within the WTO as the trade body has been crippled by the US for years. With China having become a major player in global trade since its WTO accession, can it lead developing-country members to safeguard their own interests as the WTO carries out reforms? For answers to this and other questions, join host Tu Yun and Rodrigo Zeidan, Associate Professor of Practice of Business and Finance, New York University Shanghai, in this episode of our special series on the 20th anniversary of China's WTO accession.

Since one of the aims of the China International Import Expo is to share the vast market opportunities in China with the rest of the world, especially developing and least developed nations, what have business people from those countries achieved at this year's CIIE? And in what ways has the event reshaped Shanghai and China in general? Join host Tu Yun and Rodrigo Zeidan, Associate Professor of Practice of Business and Finance from New York University Shanghai, as well as Xu Qinduo, Senior Fellow of the Beijing-based think-tank Pangoal Institution for a discussion at the Chat Lounge, where we talk about hot issues in a more laidback manner.

A ameaça de calote da segunda maior incorporadora chinesa, cujo passivo chega a US$ 300 bilhões, levou pânico aos mercados na largada da semana. "O risco financeiro é dentro da China, não fora", sintetiza Rodrigo Zeidan, professor da Universidade de Nova York em Shangai, de onde fala com Renata Lo Prete. Zeidan descreve a importância do setor imobiliário num um país em que mais de 1 bilhão de pessoas migraram do campo para as cidades nos últimos 30 anos. "Imóveis são vistos como algo que traz riqueza para a família", explica, lembrando o peso do setor no PIB. Zeidan diz ainda que, ao contrário da crise com o banco norte-americano Lehman Brothers, em 2008, agora a expectativa é que a China socorra e “estanque a crise financeira", mais do que a empresa, mas pondera que é difícil saber o "tamanho certo" da intervenção. Participa também do episódio Lívio Ribeiro, pesquisador do Ibre-FGV. É ele quem detalha os possíveis efeitos para o Brasil, principalmente para empresas do setor de mineração. Lívio pontua como 85% das exportações brasileiras para a China são de minério de ferro, soja e petróleo. Por isso os impactos podem ser sentidos aqui, principalmente pela desvalorização da moeda brasileira e da queda do preço das commodities.

O efeito dominó do coronavírus mexeu com muitas pedras essa semana. O Banco Central dos EUA fez o primeiro corte emergencial nos juros desde a grande crise de 2008. Na Europa e na Ásia, governos já anunciam medidas para reduzir o impacto da epidemia em seus índices econômicos. No Brasil, fábricas já sentem a falta de peças importadas da China. Renata Lo Prete conversa com Rodrigo Zeidan, professor da Universidade de Nova York em Shangai, que está em autoexílio na Espanha. Ele conta como sua rotina foi afetada na China e analisa a perspectiva de crescimento global em 2020. Participa também Humberto Saccomandi, editor de Internacional do jornal Valor Econômico, que explica as ações dos governos para enfrentar o coronavírus.

Nesta publicação Extra dos Diálogos FDC, conversamos com o professor associado da FDC, Rodrigo Zeidan, onde ele comenta os impactos econômicos imediatos do novo coronavírus, quais os impactos imediatos à economia brasileira e os aprendizados que o mundo pode adquirir com este capítulo de sua história.

Não é comum aos brasileiros pensar numa carreira a longo prazo, assim como a educação financeira não costuma fundamentar boa parte das decisões das pessoas. O resultado disso: em vez de conduzir os objetivos profissionais com base no método e na razão, o lema pregado pelo senso comum diz o seguinte: “faça o que você gosta e assim você será feliz”. Rodrigo Zeidan, nosso convidado desta edição do Podcast Guide, discorda bastante dessa frase e nesta entrevista vai explicar por que. Professor da NYU em Shangai e doutor em economia pela UFRJ, Rodrigo tem experiência de sobra para falar desse assunto. Não, ele não quer dizer que você tem de trabalhar em algo que detesta, mas afirma que essa decisão tem de estar ancorada no cálculo do que você ambiciona alcançar na sua trajetória profissional. Está preparado para um podcast sincero de mais para ouvir uma vez só? Vem com a gente.

I spoke with Ioana Negru about the book that she recently edited with Wilfred Dolfsma. We were joined in the conversation by our colleague Rodrigo Zeidan to discuss the timely issues covered by The Ethical Formation of Economists (Routledge, 2019). Economists' role in society has always been an uneasy one, and in recent years the ethicality of the profession and its practitioners has been questioned more than ever. This collection of essays is the first to investigate the multifaceted nature of what forms economists' ethical and economic views. The book suggests that if we can better understand what is making economists think and act as they do, considering ethicality in the process, we might all be better placed to implement changes. The intent is not to exonerate economists from personal responsibility, but to highlight how considering the circumstances that have helped shape economists' views can help to address issues. It is argued that it is important to understand these influences, as without such insights, the demonization of economists is too easily adapted as a stance by society as well as too easily dismissed by economists. The 2007 financial crisis has raised obvious questions about the link between ethics and economic questions. This book edited by Ioana Negru and Wilfred Dolfsma aims to show how important ethics is for economic life and to discuss what is the role of ethics in economics, econometrics, in relation to media or public policy. The purpose of the book is to help economists understand what ethics is and how pervasive ethics is in everyday life. Bringing together work from international contributors such as George DeMartino, Deirdre McCloskey, Mark White, Steve Ziliak, Robert McMaster, Andrew Mearman, Craig Duckworth, Patrick O'Sullivan, Jamie Morgan, Wim Groot, Henriette Maassen van Den Brink, Alice Sindzigrea and Edward Teather-Posadas, it explores the ways in which economists are influenced in their training and career, examining how this can explain their individual ethical stances as economists. The book is an important contribution that students and scholars (in the fields of economics, ethics, philosophy and sociology) should consider buying and reading regardless to their methodological and theoretical preferences. Andrea Bernardi is Senior Lecturer in Employment and Organization Studies at Oxford Brookes University in the UK. He holds a doctorate in Organization Theory from the University of Milan, Bicocca. He has held teaching and research positions in Italy, China and the UK. Among his research interests are the use of history in management studies, the co-operative sector, and Chinese co-operatives. His latest project is looking at health care in rural China. He is the co-convener of the EAEPE’s permanent track on Critical Management Studies. Learn more about your ad choices.

I spoke with Professor Rodrigo Zeidan of New York University, Shanghai. He has just published Economics of Global Business (MIT Press, 2018), a great book with innovative real-world macroeconomic analyses of timely policy issues, with case studies and examples from more than fifty countries. The book is particularly suitable for use as an introduction to macroeconomics for business students. If you are looking for something accessible that covers also the most contemporary topics (inequality, climate change, migration, sustainability, austerity, financial crisis…), go and buy it. It is a beautiful book written having in mind students with no previous education in economics. It is original in its style, in the selection of themes and in the approach to policy making. The book is divided into two parts and 15 chapters. The preface starts with an amazing personal story of his infancy. After presenting analytical foundations, modeling tools, and theoretical perspectives, Economics of Global Business goes a step further than most other texts, with a practical look at the local and multinational tradeoffs facing economic policymakers in more than fifty countries. Topics range from income equality and the financial crisis to GDP, inflation and unemployment, and, notably, one of the first macroeconomic examinations of climate change. Written by a globetrotting economist who teaches and consults on three continents, Economics of Global Business aims not for definitive answers but rather to provide a better understanding of the context-dependent rationales, constraints, and consequences of economic policy decisions. The book covers long-run and short-run growth (with examples from the United States, China, the European Union, South Korea, Japan, Latin America, Africa, Australia, and Vietnam); financial crises and central banks; monetary and fiscal policies; government budgets; currency regimes; climate change and macroeconomics; income inequality; and globalization. All chapters rely on recent and historical examples of economic policy in action. Rodrigo Zeidan is an Associate Professor of Practice of Business and Finance at New York University Shanghai and a Visiting Professor at Brazil's Fundação Dom Cabral and Copenhagen Business School. His more recent research focuses on Sustainable Finance, alongside issues in Corporate Finance and Development Economics. Alongside his article in Nature Sustainability, his research has been published in the Journal of Corporate Finance, Harvard Business Review, Journal of Business Ethics and Journal of Environmental Management, among others. Rodrigo has written extensively for media outlets, including the The New York Times, World Economic Forum, Bloomberg, Americas Quarterly and Financial Times. Learn more about your ad choices.

China’s Belt and Road Initiative now spans nearly every continent, and countries are eagerly lining up for a share of the trillions of dollars Beijing is doling out. But is there more to this infrastructure plan than meets the eye? Featuring NYU Shanghai professors Rodrigo Zeidan and Ivan Rasmussen.
