New information and inflation expectations among firms
No full textUsing data from a unique and novel monthly firm-level survey on inflation expectations in Uruguay we first present stylized facts about the inflation expectation formation process and then show how information acquisition affects firms’ inflation expectations. We show that firms’ forecasts are close to observed inflation, that a sizable proportion of firms do not revise their expectations, and that there is substantial disagreement about future inflation among firms. We also present evidence on industrial sector effects on inflation forecasts and show that the correlation between inflation expectations and cost expectations increases with the forecast time horizon. We then exploit peculiarities of the collective wage bargaining negotiation mechanism to estimate the impact of acquiring information about past inflation on expected future inflation. Our results imply that firms that adjust wages expect lower inflation, revise their expectations downwards and make smaller forecast errors than firms that do not adjust wages. We find no effect of wage adjustments on firms’ own cost expectations and that disagreement among firms is lower in the months of wage adjustment. The latter suggests that inflation expectations tend to converge as firms are more informed about past inflation

Competition and Market Power in the Latin American Banking Sector
No full textThe functioning of the banking sector is key for economic growth. In this paper, we first gather banks\u27 balance sheet monthly regulatory information in a consistent manner for seven Latin American countries. Second, we estimate lending markups and deposits markdowns in each country over time. Third, with the estimated markups and markdowns in the different countries we study how they relate with banks\u27 profitability, the cost of credit, credit risk and credit supply. Finally, we explore whether there are differences in markups on lending rates and markdowns on deposit rates between international and domestic banks
Pension income indexation: a mean-variance approach
No full textThis paper proposes a theoretical framework to study pension income indexation from the retirees’ point of view. The theoretical model is then used to calculate the optimal indexation measure for different cohorts of retirees using historical data from Uruguay. The results suggest that for most of the cohorts, but particularly for those retiring in the 1970s and 1990s, the optimal strategy would be to choose the consumer price index (CPI) as the pension income indexation measure. Even for cohorts retiring after the 1989 Constitutional reform that established the average nominal earnings index (ANEI) as the indexation measure, the CPI is still the preferred indexation measure. To show the robustness of the results, two alternative criteria are used to assess the two indexation measures, with similar results

Quadros provincianos : a obra de Rodrigo Júnior
No full textOrientador: Prof. Dr. Rodrigo Vasconcelos MachadoTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal do Paraná, Setor de Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras. Defesa : Curitiba, 21/08/2019Inclui referências: p. 342-348Resumo: O objetivo geral desta tese é reunir e analisar a obra do poeta paranaense Rodrigo Júnior, pseudônimo de João Baptista Carvalho de Oliveira (1887-1964). Para isso, foi necessário coletar a quantidade máxima das suas publicações literárias e ensaísticas e, num recorte específico, analisá-las e discuti-las sob a perspectiva de quanto seus textos se apresentam como provincianos, e, quanto ao mesmo tempo não os são. Rodrigo Júnior é um autor que buscou intensamente seu próprio estilo no meio do confuso pré-modernismo, entre o parnasianismo, simbolismo e o neorromantismo, utilizando-se de várias estéticas e escolas unicamente com objetivo encontrar sua liberdade na arte. Nessa busca, encontrou a sua voz quando escreveu principalmente seus poemas com temas bucólicos, amorosos, satíricos, quase sempre atravessados por uma constante melancolia, por um tédio e pessimismo, uma tristeza de quem deseja paz e felicidade. Consagrou-se como poeta de rara qualidade, compondo ora em formas clássicas, ora em verso livre sempre com uma linguagem simples, mas também foi um eficiente prosador, como escritor de contos, crônicas, novelas e ensaios. Sua carreira começa no início do século XX e dura até os anos 60, atuando diariamente na imprensa curitibana, estabelecendo-se como um agitador cultural durante esse tempo. A produção gigantesca contrasta com seus poucos livros publicados, pois acabou abandonando muitos projetos de livros e deixando a maior parte dos seus escritos esparsos em jornais e revistas. Incentivou e influenciou pelo menos duas gerações de artistas do Paraná, como os jovens interessados no futurismo e no modernismo e os literatos da década de 30 e 40 que queriam modernizar as letras paranaenses. Por fim, dedicou boa parte da sua vida à literatura e à criação um sistema literário no Paraná autossuficiente que fosse independente dos grandes centros urbanos da época como o Rio de Janeiro. Palavras-chave: Rodrigo Júnior. Literatura paranaense. Pré-modernismo e modernismo paranaense. Simbolismo. Provincianismo.Abstract: The general objective of this thesis is to gather and analyze the work of the poet Rodrigo Júnior, pseudonym of João Baptista Carvalho de Oliveira (1887-1964). For this, it was necessary to collect the maximum amount of their literary and essayistic publications and, in a specific cut, to analyze and discuss them from the perspective of how much their texts are provincial, and at the same time not. Rodrigo Júnior is an author who intensely sought his own style in the midst of confusing pre-modernism, between parnasianism, symbolism and neorromantism, using various aesthetics and schools solely to find their freedom in art. In this search, he found his voice when he wrote mainly his poems with bucolic, loving, satirical themes, almost always crossed by a constant melancholy, boredom and pessimism, a sadness of those who want peace and happiness. He established himself as a poet of rare quality, composing sometimes in classical forms, sometimes in free verse always with simple language, but was also an efficient prospector, as a writer of short stories, chronicles, novels and essays. His career begins in the early twentieth century and lasts until the 1960s, working daily in the Curitiba press, establishing himself as a cultural agitator during that time. The mammoth production contrasts with its few published books, as it has abandoned many book projects and left most of its sparse writings in newspapers and magazines. It encouraged and influenced at least two generations of artists from Paraná, such as the young people interested in futurism and modernism and the literati of the 30's and 40's who wanted to modernize Paraná's lyrics. Finally, he devoted much of his life to literature and the creation of a self-sufficient literary system in Paraná that was independent of the great urban centers of the time such as Rio de Janeiro. Keywords: Rodrigo Júnior. Literature from Paraná. Premodernism and modernism of Paraná. Simbolism. Provincialism
The untapped skilled labor of Latin America
No full textIncreasingly offshoring is concentrated on IT and business processes rather than on manufacturing. Multinational companies have focused primarily on offshoring skilled work to Asia rather than to Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) countries, neglecting the region's considerable supply of skilled labor. This study projects LAC's skilled labor supply up to 2020.Our study shows that as LAC countries reach the next stage for their demographic transition, a slowdown in population growth rate is expected suggesting that these economies will face the problems posed by an aging population in the decades ahead. Our results also indicate that LAC countries have gradually lost their lead when it comes to year of formal education, being surpassed by other developing countries such as Korea or Taiwan.
Delgado, Hegel and the Rodrigo Chronicles
No full textRichard Delgado has made path-breaking contributions to the literature on race and American law. His Rodrigo Chronicles are already classics of the Critical Race Theory genre. It is, therefore, wholly appropriate that the Harvard Latino Law Review dedicated a symposium issue to an examination of the Rodrigo Chronicles and Delgado\u27s other work. In this symposium essay, the author attempts to illuminate Delgado\u27s project in the Chronicles through an examination of various aspects of Hegel\u27s philosophy. Hegel\u27s philosophy allows us to better understand Delgado\u27s work in the Chronicles and elsewhere
