El poster, una mirada educativa desde la comunicacion digital
El póster, como pieza de creación gráfica, tiene un profundo sentido comunicativo. Hoy en día, casi dos siglos después de su aparición y utilización sistemática, y pese a las transformaciones tecnológicas, sigue siendo utilizado para diversos fines. Desde la comunicación y la educación, este libro estudia la forma como es empleado el póster por parte de cuatro de las organizaciones culturales más importantes de Popayán: Corporación Festival de Música Religiosa de Popayán, Corporación Gastronómica de Popayán, Corporación de Cine Corto y Junta Pro Semana Santa de Popayán. Los autores plantean un análisis que confluye en la interpretación iconológica de los pósteres creados por las organizaciones estudiadas. El análisis evidencia que las organizaciones, al hacer uso del póster, no solo promueven su propuesta de agenda cultural para la ciudad, sino que es también una manera de proyectar su idea de ciudad hacia sus públicos.
A Fighting Chance
Seventeen-year-old Miguel Angel spends every minute after school at the Packing Shed, working out with the Alisal Boxing Club. He dreams of becoming a champion so he can get his mother and five siblings out of their cramped one-bedroom apartment in one of Salinas' poorest barrios. But suddenly his life gets more complicated. The city is threatening to take the Packing Shed away from Coach, and without a place to train he won't be able to avoid the gangbangers in his neighborhood. His childhood friend, Beto, has succumbed to the wiles of easy money and expensive cars, and Miguel Angel wonders if he'll be able to resist his friend. Meanwhile, beautiful blonde Britney from Pebble Beach has ente...
Labor and Product Market Reforms and External Imbalances: Evidence from Advanced Economies
We explore the impact of major labor and product market reforms on current account dynamics using a new “narrative” database of major changes in employment protection for regular workers and product market regulation for non-manufacturing industries covering 26 advanced economies over the past four decades. Our main finding is that product market deregulation is associated with a weakening of the current account, while labor market deregulation is associated with an improvement. These effects are transitory and driven by both saving and investment responses. Labor and product market reforms both have a more positive impact on the current account balance when implemented under weak macroeconomic conditions. Our results are broadly consistent with predictions from recent DSGE models with endogenous producer entry and labor market frictions.
The Effects of COVID-19 Vaccines on Economic Activity
This paper empirically examines the economic effects of COVID-19 vaccine rollouts using a cross-country daily database of vaccinations and high frequency indicators of economic activity—nitrogen dioxide (NO2) emissions, carbon monoxide (CO) emissions, and Google mobility indices—for a sample of 46 countries over the period December 16, 2020 to June 20, 2021. Using surprises in vaccines administered, we find that an unexpected increase in vaccination per capita is associated with a significant increase in economic activity. We also find evidence for non-linear effects of vaccines, with the marginal economic benefits being larger when vaccination rates are higher. Country-specific conditions play an important role, with lower economic gains if strict containment measures are in place or if the country is experiencing a severe outbreak. Finally, the results provide evidence of spillovers across borders, highlighting the importance of equitable access to vaccines across nations.

Waging the War of Ideas
This paper discusses how wars of ideas can be waged, using the author's extensive experience, both as director general of the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) and at other classical liberal think tanks. John Blundell begins his stimulating collection of published essays, reviews and introductions by showing how the founders of the IEA successfully fought the conventional planning wisdom of the 1960s and 1970s, providing the ideas which, by the 1980s and 1990s, had brought about increased freedom and a revival in the use of markets. He draws lessons from those days and then surveys the contemporary scene, showing how the anti-liberal ideas emerging now are different from those which prevailed in the early years of the IEA. As well as giving a valuable view of the IEAs development in the past, these essays also offer advice on how to continue winning in the new circumstances of the present. Waging the War of Ideas has been constantly in demand since it was first published in 2001. This new and expanded edition contains three new chapters and is introduced by Professor Walter Williams.
Venecia
In a remote Argentinian brothel, La Gringa, the ancient madam, approaches death. She has one regret that still haunts her. She never travelled to Venice with her one true love. None of the girls can afford the voyage, but La Gringa is blind, and it is her last wish to travel there. And so a plan is formed to take her on a fantastical journey to redeem her youth and rediscover her lost love in a city with streets of water. Accame fuses memory and imagination in this beautiful exploration of lies, truth, poverty and love, to prove that against all odds, imagination can be as valid as reality
