Covid-19, periodismo y crónicas
La pandemia de la covid-19 no ha terminado y según parece llegó para quedarse, por lo menos por un buen tiempo. Sus efectos siguen impactando en todo el mundo. ¿Nos cambió la vida?, ¿nos hizo mejores?, ¿nos ha servido de algo?, ¿podemos sacar algo positivo de ello? Estas y otras preguntas han surgido durante los últimos meses, después de constatar que esta enfermedad es global y nos afecta a todos —no por igual, pues esto no es así—, pero también ha servido para demostrar la fragilidad humana. Uno de los efectos de este acontecimiento fue la necesidad de reflexionar y comunicarnos. De eso trata este trabajo colectivo. Las reacciones vividas por un grupo de personas que compartieron —hace más de 25 años— espacio y tiempo, en una institución escolar formadora de periodistas. Desde su lugar de residencia, desde su ámbito profesional o familiar, desde su realidad concreta, cada uno decidió colaborar en este aporte colectivo a través de la reflexión, la interrogación, el recurso fotográfico, el análisis, la entrevista. Un mosaico de reacciones muy humanas al efecto de la pandemia.
Doing Business in 2005
Doing Business in 2005: Obstacles to Growth is the second in a series of annual reports investigating the scope and manner of regulations that enhance business activity and those that constrain it. New quantitative indicators on business regulations and their enforcement can be compared across more than 130 countries, and over time. The indicators are used to analyze economic outcomes and identify what reforms have worked, where and why. Topics in Doing Business in 2005 include: Licensing and Inspections: Having registered a business, now what? In most countries, firms face a myriad of sector specific licenses as well as inspections to enforce compliance. The Doing Business database construc...
Many Marriages
"A time will come when love like a sheet of fire will run through the towns and cities. It will tear walls away. It will destroy ugly houses. It will tear ugly clothes off the bodies of men and women. They will build anew and build beautifully," declares John Webster, a quiet middle-aged businessman who has repressed his dreams in order to function as a washing machine manufacturer. Webster gradually awakens to the inner voices that encourage him to abandon his job and family and live what he believes to be the truth of life. His search for spiritual salvation leads to the embrace of a gospel of sexual emancipation — a complete and absolute acceptance of the flesh, without shame or guilt. ...

When Do Creditor Rights Work?
Abstract: Creditor-friendly laws are generally associated with more credit to the private sector and deeper financial markets. But laws mean little if they are not upheld in the courts. The authors hypothesize that the effectiveness of creditor rights is strongly linked to the efficiency of contract enforcement. This hypothesis is tested using firm level data on 27 European countries in 2002 and 2005. The analysis finds that firms have more access to bank credit in countries with better creditor rights, but the association between creditor rights and bank credit is much weaker in countries with inefficient courts. Exploiting the panel dimension of the data and the fact that creditor rights c...

The Russian Flat Tax Reform
Russia dramatically reduced its higher rates of personal income tax (PIT) in 2001 establishing a single marginal rate at the low level of 13 percent. In the following year, real revenue from the PIT actually increased by about 26 percent. This 'flat tax' experience has attracted much attention (and emulation) among policymakers, making it perhaps the most important tax reform of recent years. But it has been little studied. This paper asks whether the strong revenue performance of the PIT was itself a consequence of this reform, using both macro evidence and, in particular, micro-level data on the experiences of individuals and households affected by the reform to varying degrees. It concludes that there is no evidence of a strong supply side effect of the reform. Compliance, however, did improve quite substantially-by about one third according to our estimates-though it remains unclear whether this was due to the parametric reforms or to accompanying changes in enforcement.
