Los problemas del desarrollo en las ciencias sociales
En este libro, la referencia al trabajo de Norbert Elias resulta ineludible: su producción intelectual es el eje que conecta los capítulos. Desde una perspectiva procesual, se abordan las instituciones de formación de maestros en el siglo xx en Colombia, la posición de Julio Garavito sobre las geometrías no euclidianas y la relatividad en clave eliasiana, los manuales de urbanidad decimonónicos, la modernización del Estado en Colombia, los supuestos de los estudios sociales del cuerpo, la pérdida del enfoque genético en psicología y el análisis de la creación artística. Los capítulos resaltan por su diversidad temática, pero en su conjunto tienen el objetivo de contribuir al d...
La escritura del destierro
Francisco de Paula Santander fue condenado al destierro por su supuesta participación en la conspiración contra la vida de Simón Bolívar, el 25 de septiembre de 1828. Santander se expatrió en Europa hasta 1831, cuando finalmente se le levantó la pena a que había sido sentenciado. La vivencia del exilio quedó registrada en un diario de viaje y en la correspondencia que el ilustre proscrito intercambió con familiares y conocidos, tanto en Colombia como en el Viejo Mundo. De la intimidad de esos documentos emerge un personaje extraordinario, no solo por su habilidad para sacar ventaja de la adversidad, sino porque fue el único período de su vida adulta que no dedicó al servicio púb...
Andean Tectonics
Andean Tectonics addresses the geological evolution of the Andes Mountains, the prime global example of subduction-related mountain building. The Andes forms one of the most extensive mountain belts on Earth, spanning approximately an 8,000 km distance along the western edge of South America, from 10°N to 55°S. The tectonic history of the Andes involves a rich record of diverse geological processes, including crustal deformation, magmatism, sedimentary basin evolution, and climatic interactions. This book addresses the range of Andean tectonic processes and their temporal and spatial variations. This critical resource is ideal for researchers interested in the causes and consequences of An...
Usability Evaluation In Industry
This book provides a variety of answers in its description and discussion of new, sometimes radical approaches to `usability evaluation', now an increasingly common business tool. It contains new thinking of the subject of usability evaluation in industry. Contributions come from those involved in the practice of industry-based usability evaluation as well as those involved in related research activity. The chapters are derived from and developed from presentations and discussions at the invited international seminar `Usability Evaluation in Industry', and give a leading edge overview of current usability practice in industry - identifying those issues of concern and approaches to tackling these. Key Features: * Provides a comprehensive overview of current practice * International examples * Contains practical examples of ergonomics at work and gives clear ideas of what does and doesn't work under industrial constraints

Borrowing Costs and The Role of Multilateral Development Banks: Evidence from Cross-Border Syndicated Bank Lending
Cross-border bank lending is a growing source of external finance in developing countries and could play a key role for infrastructure financing. This paper looks at the role of multilateral development banks (MDBs) on the terms of syndicated loan deals, focusing on loan pricing. The results show that MDBs' participation is associated with higher borrowing costs and longer maturities---signaling a greater willingness to finance high risk projects which may not be financed by the private sector---but it is also associated with lower spreads for riskier borrowers. Overall, our findings suggest that MDBs could crowd in private investment in developing countries through risk mitigation.

Growth Forecast Errors and Fiscal Multipliers
This paper investigates the relation between growth forecast errors and planned fiscal consolidation during the crisis. We find that, in advanced economies, stronger planned fiscal consolidation has been associated with lower growth than expected, with the relation being particularly strong, both statistically and economically, early in the crisis. A natural interpretation is that fiscal multipliers were substantially higher than implicitly assumed by forecasters. The weaker relation in more recent years may reflect in part learning by forecasters and in part smaller multipliers than in the early years of the crisis.
Operations Research and Analytics in Latin America
