Why are (human) lives political? Interview with Ariel Colonomos
No full textSite du CERIHow do we price lives? This question, far from being rhetorical, refers to notions that lie at the core of the political. Ethically, from a principled approach perspective, lives have an infinite value. However, politically, lives can be valued in material terms, i.e. they can be put in balance with material interest, whether these interests are monetary or political (such as the national interest). Ariel Colonomos, author of the recently published Pricing Lives (Oxford University Press, 2023), answers our questions and helps us better understand this crucial philosophical question.

Rodó y su Ariel : el Ariel de Rodó
No full textEl artículo presenta al autor de Ariel Rodó, como integrante de la promoción literaria uruguaya, como uno de los exponentes del modernismo y como pensador que pertenece a la generación de los Fundadores. Parte de la problemática Ariel- Calibán como símbolo latinoamericano y de la postulación de Ariel como discurso antiimperialista para situar la pregunta respecto de la función de la educación en la constitución del joven latinoamericano como sujeto social portador de sentido del proyecto nacional. Se tratan luego las figuras que se desprenden de los Prósperos, los Calibanes y los Arieles concebidos como la pluralidad de perspectivas desde las que transcurren las vidas de los sujetos y de los espacios desde los cuales las naciones se paran para mirarse unas a otras.This article introduces the author of Ariel, Rodó, as a member of the Uruguayan literary community, as well as one of the figures of expressionism, and as a thinker who belongs to the generation of the founders. It starts off from the Ariel-Calíban conflict as a Latin American symbol and from the postulation of Ariel as an antiilllpenallst discourse to pose the question about the function of education in the formation of the young Latin American as a social subject that bears the true sense of the national project. The study finally arrives at a meeting with the figures that derive themselves from the Prosperos, the Callbans and the Ariels conceived as the pluralism of the perspectives in which the lives of the subjects are Iived in the spaces from which the nations stand up in arder to take a look at one another.Fil: Alvarado, Mariana

Earnings Quality Following Corporate Acquisitions
No full textWe use the corporate acquisition setting to examine earnings quality during the post-acquisition period. We define earnings quality as an earnings stream more closely associated with future cash flows from operations. We use the stock market’s reaction at the acquisition announcement to infer merger motives and hypothesize that synergy-motivated acquisitions will produce higher quality earnings than agency-motivated acquisitions. Our findings are consistent with this prediction and support the view that managers who pursue synergy or agency-motivated acquisitions do not face the same economic environment and incentive schemes. Our results are also consistent with the notion that incentives for earnings management are greater following agency-motivated acquisitions when compared to those of synergy-motivated acquisitions. We conjecture that these differences originate from those accounting-based contracts that are likely impacted by reported post-acquisition balance sheet and income statement amounts
