My work is influenced by ongoing engagement with academic institutions, professional communities, and publications that expose me to diverse perspectives on organizations, human behavior, economics, technology, and international affairs.
Membership does not imply institutional endorsement of my work, and the publications listed here do not necessarily represent my personal views. They are part of the broader intellectual environment in which I study, question assumptions, and develop my own analyses.
PROFESSIONAL AND ACADEMIC AFFILIATIONS
My professional and academic trajectory includes participation in institutions and communities connected to psychology, management, economics, and the study of human and organizational behavior.
I am a member of the American Psychological Association and the Academy of Management.
Membership or participation does not imply institutional endorsement of my work or opinions.
ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL SOURCES
My analyses may use economic, monetary, financial, and market information from primary institutional sources and specialized databases.
Among the principal sources I consult are the International Monetary Fund, World Bank, Banco Central do Brasil, Federal Reserve, and European Central Bank.
For international monetary and financial-system analysis, I also consult the Bank for International Settlements.
OFFICIAL STATISTICS AND ECONOMIC DATA
Official statistical data are essential when an argument depends on economic, social, labor, demographic, or productive conditions.
My principal statistical sources include IBGE in Brazil; the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, and U.S. Census Bureau in the United States; and Eurostat in the European Union. These are recognized official statistical bodies or services.
I also use data and comparative indicators from the OECD and the United Nations Statistics Division.
For U.S. macroeconomic time series, I consult FRED — Federal Reserve Economic Data.
MARKETS AND FINANCIAL DATA
Market information may be obtained directly from major exchanges and specialized financial databases.
Sources include B3 in Brazil, the New York Stock Exchange, and Nasdaq in the United States.
For financial and corporate data analysis, I may also use Economatica.
INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS AND GLOBAL ENVIRONMENT
Questions involving uncertainty and complexity frequently require an examination of the broader international environment.
Depending on the subject, I may consult the United Nations, World Trade Organization, UNCTAD, and the International Labour Organization.
These organizations provide information relevant to international trade, development, labor, technology, investment, and global economic conditions. International statistical systems also identify IMF, World Bank, WTO, UNCTAD, ILO, BIS, ECB, Eurostat, and OECD as major institutional data sources.
PUBLICATIONS AND CURRENT AFFAIRS
Academic and institutional data do not eliminate the need to understand how current events are being interpreted and debated.
I regularly follow publications including The New York Times and Foreign Affairs.
These publications are sources of information and competing interpretations. Their inclusion does not imply agreement with their editorial positions.
SOURCES, NOT AUTHORITIES
No institution, database, newspaper, or theoretical perspective is treated here as an unquestionable authority.
Data can be revised. Models depend on assumptions. Institutions operate within political and economic environments. Interpretations can conflict.
Sources provide evidence. They do not replace analysis.
My responsibility is to compare information, examine assumptions, identify contradictions, and develop my own conclusions.
SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS
My principal field of work and study is human decision and action under uncertainty and complexity.
For this reason, the scientific literature I follow is centered primarily on decision-making processes, judgment under uncertainty, organizational complexity, scenarios and strategic foresight, human and cultural values, leadership, work, motivation, and technological change.
The journals below are among the scientific sources most directly related to these fields.

And close with:
These journals reflect the principal fields connected to my work and study: human decision and action under uncertainty and complexity.
I use scientific literature to examine decision-making processes, understand uncertainty, explore possible futures, analyze organizational and cultural differences, and evaluate how leadership, work, motivation, and technological change affect human and organizational action.
Scientific research provides evidence, theories, and analytical tools.
It does not replace the problem. It helps me understand it
