    This paper builds a spatial model of trade with supply-chain links to examine the effect of economic links and anti-COVID policies on the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic during the first wave across NUTS2 regions of the European Union (EU) and the UK. We find that the effort to reduce infection rates was more successful in the UK than in the EU, and that the deaths due to the trade vector were 10% on average across Europe. Our results imply that without the policy response in Europe, the number of deaths during the first wave would have been about 4,520,000 higher in the EU and around 1,240,000 greater in the UK, with significant variations across regions. Oberbayern in Germany and South Yorkshire in the UK appear as the most effective in reducing the death burden of COVID-19 at different points during the first wave. Moreover, 42% and 37% of the total deaths in the UK and the EU, respectively, could have been prevented if the policy implemented in these two regions had prevailed throughout Europe.Fidel Pérez-Sebastián acknowledges financial support from ESRC-UKRI under grant ES/V015265/1 and the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation under grant PID2023-153032NB-I00, and Rafael Serrano-Quintero from the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation under grant PID2022-139468NB-I00

    Structural transformation in India: The Role of the Service Sector

    Contrary to the experience of industrialized countries, productivity growth of Indian services has been consistently faster than manufacturing. In this paper, I document that (i) the fastest growing industries in services grow faster than in manufacturing; (ii) faster productivity growth in services than in manufacturing is not because of sluggish manufacturing productivity; (iii) the supply of skilled workers in India is skewed towards tertiary education and (iv) the service sector is the most skill intensive; (v) returns to schooling are larger for the high-productivity services. To quantify and rationalize these facts, I construct a multi-sector model of estructural change with high and low-skilled workers. The calibrated model suggests that the large supply of high-skill workers combined with higher skill intensity in the service sector seem to be behind the services take-off. The data imply that service sub-sectors are gross substitutes while manufacturing sub-sectors are gross complements. This will accelerate productivity growth in services and decelerate productivity growth in manufacturing

    The aggregate productivity slowdown: A system approach

    I revisit the productivity slowdown debate by estimating the capital-labor elasticity and the bias of technical change for the U.S. economy under four different models of technical change. One with constant growth rates, one with a structural break in the constant growth rates, one in which growth is linear, and one with flexible time-varying growth rates. I find evidence in support of non-constant growth rates of factor-augmenting technical change. Labor-augmenting technical change growth rates are decelerating, while capital-augmenting technical change is non negligible but vanishes quickly

    El siguiente proyecto de intervención titulado Promoción de procesos formativos en torno a las habilidades para la vida dirigidos a las familias de los niños y niñas usuarios de la Asociación de Hogares Comunitarios San Antonio Norte y Lijacá mediante la escuela de padres “Forjadores del Futuro” durante el segundo periodo de 2017 y primer periodo de 2018, se realizó con padres de familia pertenecientes a la Asociación de Hogares Comunitarios San Antonio Norte y Lijacá, la cual está compuesta por trece Hogares Comunitarios ubicados en la ciudad de Bogotá específicamente en la localidad de Usaquén UPZ 09 Verbenal; se basó en la promoción de procesos formativos en torno a las habilidades para la vida mediante la escuela de padres “Forjadores del Futuro” de acuerdo al diagnóstico elaborado. Dicho proyecto de intervención se fundamenta en la necesidad de implementar escuelas de padres en los Hogares Comunitarios inscritos al Instituto Colombiano de Bienestar Familiar, así mismo en la importancia del rol de educador que ejerce el Trabajo Social. La metodología que se empleó para la elaboración del proyecto fue planteada por la autora Gloria Pérez Serrano en su libro Elaboración de proyectos sociales, casos prácticos; también se implementó la metodología “Alegría de vivir” para la ejecución de la escuela de padres “Forjadores del futuro” planteada por la autora Martha Quintero para direccionar la etapa de aplicación-ejecución. Dando como resultados y conclusiones que los padres evidenciaron el impacto que generó la escuela de padres “Forjadores del Futuro” en su ejercicio como padres, de igual manera la importancia de la continuidad de escenarios de formación y participación dirigidos hacia los padres de familia, alcanzando con ello un aporte a la formación integral de los menores usuarios.The present intervention Project was realized between the second period of 2017 and the first period of 2018 with parents belonging to the community housing association in San Antonio Norte and Lijacá, which are composed by thirteen community housings in locality Usaquén, Bogotá D.C. The projects aim is based on promotion of skills for life workshop “Forjadores Del Futuro” in accordance with the social diagnostic previously elaborated. The intervention project substantiates on the necessity of implementing parents´ workshops in the community housings, registered at the Colombian Institute of Family Welfare, and the importance of Social Workers´ role as an educator. The author Gloria Pérez Serrano in her book “Elaboration of Social Projects, practical cases” set out the global methodology used to elaborate the project. Also, the methodology “Happiness in Life” by Martha Quintero was approached in order to direct the project’s phase of application and execution. Some of the project’s results and conclusions are the fact that parents evinced the impact “Future Forgers” workshop has on their exercise as parents, in the same way as the importance of continuity in formation and participation scenarios directed to parents, achieving a contribution to integral formation of underage service users.Índice De Figuras XVI Índice De Tablas XVI Índice de apéndices XVII Introducción 1 1.

    Privatization in the natural gas sector: a general equilibrium analysis

    Get PDF
    A broad literature highlights efficiency gains due to cost reduction after privatizations in the energy sector. However, to the best of our knowledge, this literature does not develop general equilibrium models, which are fundamental to account for post-privatization gains from a regional perspective. This paper evaluates the increase in efficiency necessary to make the privatization of a natural gas local distribution company (LDC) worthwhile in a state-level fiscal sense. We propose a general equilibrium model representing a regional economy supplied by a monopolistic LDC, whose ownership is shared between the private sector and federal and state governments and calibrate it for 13 of the major Brazilian LDCs. We find that the necessary unit cost reduction varies substantially across LDCs and depends on the level of underpricing when the asset is sold. The necessary unitary cost reductions range from 1.6% to 64% when we consider the median level of underpricing found in the literature

    This paper builds a spatial model of trade with supply-chain links to try to understand the effect of economic links and policies on the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic during the first wave across NUTS2 UK regions. We find that the fight to reduce infection rates was more successful in the UK than in the European Union. Our results imply that without the policy reaction in Europe, the number of deaths during the first wave of the pandemic would have been about 4,400,000 larger in the European Union and about 1,217,000 higher in the UK, and that these benefits vary greatly across UK regions. Comparing the effects of the policies implemented in the EU27 and in the UK, we estimate that, in the absence of European-Union’s anti-Covid-19 measures, the number of deaths in the UK would have been an 80% larger; and that UK antiCovid-19 measures saved 50,000 lives in the European Union and 1,200,000 lives in the UK
