    J. Ignacio Dávila Garibi’s work offers a systematic attempt to classify verbs in the Nahuatl language, organizing them into ten related groups based on their morphology and phonetics, with special focus on the formation of the past perfect indicative tense. Drawing on detailed analysis and supported by classical and dialectal sources, the author presents common patterns and variations in verb conjugation, enhancing comprehension and study of this indigenous language. This proposal is valuable both for beginners and researchers interested in Nahuatl grammar and verbal typologyEl trabajo de J.

    Education and earnings inequality in Mexico

    No full text
    Education attainment levels increased dramatically for Mexico's labor force in the 1980s and early 1990s. In parallel, the country experienced a pronounced increase in earnings inequality from 1984-94, reflected in a higher dispersion of wages and an absolute decline in the real incomes of less educated, poorer Mexicans. This increased wage dispersion presents policymakers with a tradeoff between efficiency considerations (favoring increased spending on higher education) and equity considerations (favoring a more equal distribution of per student spending) in the allocation of fiscal resources to education. The author concludes that the best way to deal with this equity-efficiency tradeoff is to encourage greater private participation in higher education. His main findings are that: a) The accumulation of human capital during 1984-94, as proxied by education attainment, was accompanied by a more equal distribution of education attainment levels over that period and, thus, exerted an equalizing effect on the distribution of incomes. The increased income inequalityobserved over that period appears to be caused by an increased rate of skill-based technological change, whose transmission to Mexico and other developing countries may have been facilitated by the increased openness of their economies. b) The greater dispersion of wager observed in Mexico during the past decade raised the rates of return on investing in higher education, reversing the traditional pattern where primary education exhibits the highest rates of return. c) The social rates of return across levels of schooling were more uniform in 1994 than in 1984, suggesting a more efficient assignment of education spending. At the same time, the distribution of spending on education became more egalitarian, as per student spending in higher education declined markedly compared with per student spending at the primary level. This surprising coincidence in the pattern of spending on education was only possible because Mexico started out with a very distorted resource allocation in education that was both highly inequitable and inefficient. As Mexico's policymakers are on the way to correcting these distortions, the opportunities for avoiding the equity-efficiency tradeoff within Mexico's centralized education framework will become progressively exhausted. d) There is little reason to expect the pace of technological change, which appears mainly responsible for raising wage dispersion and the relative returns on higher education, to abate. Efficiency considerations dictate that Mexico should respond by devoting more resources to higher education. However, the federal budget, which traditionally has financed the lion's share of higher education costs in Mexico, is unable to accommodate additional spending on higher education, while spending cuts elsewhere in the education sector are bound to raise serious equity questions. Thus, to avoid falling behind in terms of human capital accumulation, greater private sector participation is necessary, at least, in terms of cost recovery from the main beneficiaries of higher education.Decentralization,Teaching and Learning,Environmental Economics&Policies,Public Health Promotion,Curriculum&Instruction,Teaching and Learning,Environmental Economics&Policies,Health Monitoring&Evaluation,Gender and Education,Curriculum&Instruction

    Central bank independence : a critical view

    No full text
    While expansive literature on central bank independence contains some criticisms to the independent central bank quasi-paradigm, few critical analyses have been undertaken in the years between Friedman (1962) and Posen (1994). The author extends Posen's analysis to developing countries, discussing more broadly and systematically the reasons why merely instituting an independent central bank may not bring about its professed benefits, especially in developing countries. The author argues that widely reported empirical tests that are purported to support the central bank independence proposition are plagued by potential problems of simultaneity, reverse causality, missing variables, and measurement errors. Yet one can not make positive recommendations about institutional arrangements for central banks if causality relations are not well established. Institutions are shaped by a country's record of and preferences for inflation and may have little influence on them. The author also argues that the purported benefits of an independent central bank may be eroded by conflicts between fiscal and monetary policy and by inherent problems of central bank institutional design (especially mechanisms for board appointments, public accountability, and budgetary control). If these institutional problems are not solved, problems of dynamic inconsistency traditionally associated with monetary policy are not eliminated,but merely transformed. The author suggests that the benefits of central bank independence are less likely obtained in less developed countries with shallow financial markets. Accordingly, central bank independence should be granted at a later stage in a country's financial sector development. If a less developed country seeks to establish a low-inflation path, it should concentrate on instituting financial policy reforms (such as liberalization and privatization) that bolster opposition to inflation rather than easily reversible and practically meaningless changes in legal and institutional structures. This will better ensure the sustainability -- and hence the credibility -- of the government's anti-inflation stance. Fiscal policy is often at the root of macroeconomic disturbances in developing countries. Fiscal policy is more deserving of special protection from politics because of fiscal dominance over monetary policy and its greater vulnerability to private interests. The author suggests that the solution might be to make fiscal policy less susceptible to political pressures by creating an independent fiscal board. Tying the fiscal hands of government may seem a far-fetched idea. But would it not make more sense to force discipline on fiscal policy directly rather than indirectly through monetary policy?Economic Theory&Research,National Governance,Banks&Banking Reform,Economic Stabilization,Macroeconomic Management

    A partir de un estudio comparativo entre diez blogs periodísticos (j-blog) políticos hospedados en diarios de referencia en Brasil y España, presentamos los resultados referentes a la participación y a la interactividad en estos blogs. Con el objetivo de conocer el nivel de participación e interactividad de los internautas y entre los usuarios y los periodistas-blogueros, analizamos diferentes elementos del formato disponible en los j-blogs, así como los elementos periodísticos que favorecen la interactividad en 977 posts. Los resultados apuntan que los periodistas-blogueros se preocupan poco por interactuar con los usuarios. A excepción de Ignacio Escolar, autor de Escolar.net, que interviene en el espacio para comentarios e interactúa con el público que le sigue, los demás periodistas-blogueros que forman parte de la investigación no se ocupan de revisar los comentarios escritos por los lectores. Otro aspecto relevante es que estos profesionales prefieren emplear la narrativa textual en sus posts en lugar de explorar el lenguaje hipermedia con más frecuencia, lo que permitiría una mayor interactividad selectiva.From a comparative study of ten political journalistic blogs (j-blog) hosted in Brazil and Spain newspapers, we present results concerning participation and interactivity in these blogs.

    On Isolationism and Exceptionalism: Donald J. Trump, the Neoconservatives and the International Law

    No full text
    The notion of the United States as an “exceptional” country not only has extensive historical and sociological development, but also a vast political backing that has penetrated different government administrations. This has invariably transcended decisions that affect the position of this country in relation to international law. However, there are those who argue that since the inauguration of Donald J. Trump as the new president of the United States, this doctrine has come to an end. For this reason, the author proposes to explore, initially, the concept and the different movements that have arisen around “American exceptionalism”, with a historical, political and international relations approach. Then examines the relationship between the current American president and this notion, analyzes the link between the new administration and the international law, and finally, tries to answer the question: Is it the end of 'American exceptionalism'
