Policy Instruments to Lean Against the Wind in Latin America
This paper reviews policy tools that have been used and/or are available for policy makers in the region to lean against the wind and review relevant country experiences using them. The instruments examined include: (i) capital requirements, dynamic provisioning, and leverage ratios; (ii) liquidity requirements; (iii) debt-to-income ratios; (iv) loan-to-value ratios; (v) reserve requirements on bank liabilities (deposits and nondeposits); (vi) instruments to manage and limit systemic foreign exchange risk; and, finally, (vii) reserve requirements or taxes on capital inflows. Although the instruments analyzed are mainly microprudential in nature, appropriately calibrated over the financial cycle they may serve for macroprudential purposes.
After Conversion
This book examines the religious and ideological consequences of mass conversion in Iberia, where Jews and Muslims were forcibly converted or expelled at the end of the XVth century and beginning of the XVIth, and in this way it explores the fraught relationship between origins and faith. It treats also of the consequences of coercion on intellectual debates and the production of knowledge, taking into account how integrating new converts from Judaism and Islam stimulated Christian scholars to confront the converts’ sacred texts and created a distinctive peninsular hermeneutics. The book thus assesses the importance of the “Converso problem” in issues such as religious dissidence, dissimulation, and doubt and skepticism while establishing the process by which religious dissidence came to be categorized as heresy and was identified with converts from Judaism and Islam even when Lutheranism was often in the background.

The World of Forking Paths
This report details the divergent paths that the world economy may take and their potential effects on Latin America and the Caribbean. Scenarios are constructed employing a modeling exercise that captures the trade, financial and other linkages between the region and the rest of the world. While vulnerabilities remain and external shocks have been and remain critical, the region enjoys many strengths and has developed a growing arsenal of policy tools. What is the balance of vulnerabilities versus strengths? How can countries address the existing vulnerabilities? How can they perfect their policy tools and minimize the effect of external crises?

Key Aspects of Macroprudential Policy

It recognizes that developing macroprudential policy is a work in progress, and addresses key issues to help ensure its effectiveness.
L’uomo dei tre mondi
Tre fedi, due continenti, cinque paesi. Ebreo di origini spagnole nato a Fez, Samuel Pallache fu ambasciatore del re del Marocco, poi spia e agente segreto a servizio degli spagnoli, mercante e agente doppio ad Amsterdam e infine prigioniero a Londra, accusato di pirateria. Ebreo ma anche «barbaro» e africano e cattolico in Spagna, Samuel seguì le strade della diaspora sefardita senza mai integrarsi davvero nella comunità ebraica olandese, e attraversò più volte i confini di un’Europa in guerra, divisa tra cattolici e protestanti, cambiando fede lingua e identità con la stessa facilità con cui cambiò abiti e protettori. Acclamato dal pubblico e dalla critica spagnola e americana, ...
The United Kingdom and Spain in the Eighteenth Century
This book seeks to bridge a gap in the historiography of Spain and Great Britain by arguing that while the eighteenth century witnessed periods of tension, conflict and hostility between the two powers, their relationship remained multifaceted and significant in other spheres. Throughout the eighteenth century, Spain and Great Britain passed through phases of open warfare, armed peace and deep suspicion. The British capture of Gibraltar and Menorca dealt a severe blow to the newly established Bourbon dynasty in Spain. Even in times of war, however, not all communication channels were closed, with numerous formal and informal contacts being made despite the volatile political climate and enmi...
