The Harsanyi paradox and the 'right to talk' in bargaining among coalitions
No full textWe introduce a non-cooperative model of bargaining when players are divided into coalitions. The model is a modification of the mechanism in Vidal-Puga (Economic Theory, 2005) so that all the players have the same chances to make proposals. This means that players maintain their own 'right to talk' when joining a coalition. We apply this model to an intriguing example presented by Krasa, Tamimi and Yannelis (Journal of Mathematical Economics, 2003) and show that the Harsanyi paradox (forming a coalition may be disadvantageous) disappears.cooperative games bargaining coalition structure Harsanyi paradox
Tácticas de sobrevivencia: Puga y Posada narran la enfermedad
No full textResumen: Este artículo explora las formas en que la autora mexicana María Luisa Puga y la periodista y escritora colombiana Margarita Posada articulan las complejidades de experimentar una enfermedad crónica, ofreciendo una interpretación novedosa del sufrimiento que expone las dimensiones multifacéticas de vivir con enfermedades como mujeres. Al examinar sus obras, específicamente Diario del dolor (2004) y Las muertes chiquitas (2019), el artículo aborda la creatividad con la que Puga y Posada escriben la experiencia de enfermarse, sumergiendo a los lectores en emociones y vivencias que, incluso para profesionales médicos, a menudo permanecen inaccesibles. El trabajo investiga cómo la escritura actúa como un salvavidas en medio de eventos dolorosos y traumáticos, empoderando a ambas autoras para reclamar, redefinir, desmitificar y reformular sus enfermedades desde su perspectiva. Además, este estudio examina el acto de escribir sobre la enfermedad como una forma de resistencia y activismo, sacando a la luz los cuerpos marginados y estigmatizados de las mujeres afectadas por enfermedades. A través de sus relatos personales, Puga y Posada se unen a una comunidad de mujeres que construyen una base de conocimiento para llenar los vacíos dejados por la medicina, revelando experiencias, sentimientos y realidades frecuentemente pasados por alto o silenciados. Sus narrativas sientan las bases para otras mujeres que luchan con enfermedades crónicas o incurables, transformando Diario del dolor y Las muertes chiquitas en lecturas indispensables para desmantelar los tabúes y estigmas sociales entrelazados con la experiencia de la enfermedad.

Abstract: This article explores the ways that Mexican author María Luisa Puga and Colombian journalist and writer Margarita Posada articulate the intricacies of experiencing chronic illness, offering a novel interpretation of suffering that exposes the multifaceted dimensions of living with illness as women. By examining their works, namely Diario del dolor (2004) and Las muertes chiquitas (2019), the article discusses the creativity with which Puga and Posada approach the experience of illness, immersing readers in emotions and experiences that, even for medical professionals, often remain inaccessible. The paper investigates how writing acts as a lifeline amidst agonizing and traumatic events, empowering both authors to reclaim, redefine, demystify, and reshape their illnesses on their own terms. Additionally, this study scrutinizes the act of writing about illness as a form of resistance and activism, bringing to light the marginalized and stigmatized bodies of women afflicted by illness. Through their personal accounts, Puga and Posada join a community of women constructing a foundation of knowledge to bridge the gaps left by medicine, revealing experiences, sentiments, and realities frequently disregarded or silenced. Their narratives lay the groundwork for other women grappling with chronic or incurable diseases, transforming Diario del dolor and Las muertes chiquitas into indispensable readings that play a pivotal role in dismantling the societal taboos and stigmas intertwined with the experience of illness.

Trading arrangements and industrial development
No full textHow do different trading arrangements influence the industrialization process of developing countries? Can preferential trading arrangements (PTAs) be superior to multilateral liberalization, or at least an alternative when multilateral liberalization proceeds slowly? If so, what form should the PTAs take? Are developing countries better advised to seek PTAs with industrial countries or among themselves? Traditional analysis of these issues has been based on the idea of trade creation and trade diversion. The problem with this analysis is that it starts from assuming a pattern of comparative advantage of newly industrialized countries. The experience of these countries suggests the need for an analysis in which the pattern of comparative advantage is not set in stone but is potentially flexible, and in which less developed countries can develop and converge in both income and economic structure to industrial economies. The authors outline an alternative approach for analyzing the role of trade in promoting industrial development. There are few fundamental differences between countries that generate immutable patterns of comparative advantage. Instead the pattern of trade and development in the world economy is determined mainly by history. Cumulative causation has created concentrations of industrial activity in particular locations (industrial countries) and left other areas more dependent on primary activities. Economic development can be thought of as the spread of these concentrations from country to country. Different trading arrangements may have a major impact on this development process. By changing the attractiveness of countries as a base for manufacturing production they can potentially trigger or postpone industrial development. This approach explains why firms are reluctant to move to economies that have lower wages and labor costs, and shows how trade liberalization can change the incentives to become established in developing countries. It provides a mechanism through which import liberalization can have a powerful effect in promoting industrialization. And it suggests that import liberalization may create or amplify differences between liberalizing countries with the possible political tensions this may create. While these features are consistent with the world economy, they fall short of providing convincing empirical support for the approach. Using the approach, the authors derive number of conclusions about the effects of trade liberalization. First, that unilaterally liberalizing imports of manufactures can promote development of the local manufacturing industry. The mechanism is forward linkages from imported intermediates, but this may be interpreted as part of a wider package of linkages coming from these imports. Second, the gains from liberalization through PTA membership are likely to exceed those obtained from unilateral action. South-South PTAs will be sensitive to the market size of member states, and North-South PTAs seem to offer better prospects for participating Southern economies, if not for North and excluded countries. Third, the effects of particular schemes (such as the division of benefits between Southern economies) will depend on the characteristics of the countries and cross-country differences in these characteristics.Economic Theory&Research,Environmental Economics&Policies,Water and Industry,Labor Policies,Banks&Banking Reform,Economic Theory&Research,Environmental Economics&Policies,TF054105-DONOR FUNDED OPERATION ADMINISTRATION FEE INCOME AND EXPENSE ACCOUNT,Trade and Regional Integration,Water and Industry
