This paper studies the evolution of the gender wage gap in Colombia at different points of wage distributions. Using DiNardo, Fortin, and Lemieux’s (1996) decomposition, we find that the enormous increase in female workers’ educational achievement has helped to reduce the gender gap, mainly at the top of the wage distribution. However, this effect has been countered by the reduction in the proportion of female workers in the public sector and those with indefinite contracts. Moreover, using the Arellano et al. (2017) methodology, we estimate the adjusted gender wage gap whilst controlling for sample selection. In both analysed years, our main finding was a clear glass-ceiling pattern that was slightly reduced in 2010. ****** Este articulo estudia la brecha salarial por genero en Colombia en diferentes puntos de la distribucion de salarios. Con la descomposicion de DiNardo et al. (1996) se encuentra que el enorme incremento en el logro educacional de las trabajadoras femeninas ha ayudado a reducir la brecha de genero, principalmente en la cola alta de la distribucion. Sin embargo, este efecto ha sido contrarrestado por la reduccion en la proporcion de mujeres en el sector publico y en aquellas con contrato indefinido. Ademas, con la metodologia de Arellano et al. (2016) se estima la brecha de genero ajustada controlando por sesgo de seleccion. Se encuentra un patron de techo de cristal en ambos anos analizados, que se ha reducido ligeramente en el 2010.

Este articulo cuantifica y analiza los efectos de los choques originados en los mercados estadounidenses sobre los principales mercados financieros colombianos durante el periodo de 2003 a 2015. La metodologia utilizada es un modelo de vectores autorregresivos (VAR) estructural que emplea la heterocedasticidad que existe en los datos para la identificacion y la estimacion de los coeficientes de transmision financiera. Se encuentra que los mercados estadounidenses generan efectos overall spillovers significativos sobre el mercado accionario colombiano. A su vez, los resultados reflejan la posicion dominante del mercado de bonos estadounidenses como el motor de los efectos de desbordamiento. ****** This paper aims to analyse and quantify the effects of shocks originated in the US financial markets on the major Colombian financial markets during the period 2003-2015. The employed methodology is a structural VAR model that uses the heteroskedasticity existing in the data to achieve the identification and estimation of the financial transmission coefficients. It was discovered that US markets generate significant overall spill over effects on the Colombian stock market. In turn, the results reflect the dominant position of the US bond market as the engine of spill over effects.

The study analyses the effect of international remittances in Honduras on the Monthly Economic Activity Index (IMAE) as a proxy measure of economic growth, international reserves and the Effective Real Exchange Rate Index (Itcer). Using data from time series with monthly periodicity from December 2001 to December 2016, the model of Vector Autoregressive (VAR) is formulated and results are presented in the form graphs of the Impulse-Response Function (IRF). The finding shows negative responses from IMAE and Itcer and a positive response from international reserves in the medium term.

Este articulo pretende explicar la respuesta de los bancos centrales a la estabilidad financiera con informacion de cuatro paises de America Latina entre 2000 y 2017. Se estiman funciones de reaccion en su forma basica y ampliada, lo que evidencia respuestas consistentes con el regimen de meta de inflacion, aunque con respuestas variadas al ciclo economico, al comportamiento del tipo de cambio y al ciclo del credito. Tambien, mediante estimaciones de dos modelos panel VAR, se hace manifiesto que la acumulacion de reservas internacionales se efectua por motivo de precaucion, pero la vulnerabilidad financiera persiste por los choques de flujos de capital. ****** This paper aims to explain the response of central banks to financial stability, using information from 4 different countries in Latin America between 2000 and 2017. Reaction functions are estimated in their basic and extended form, evidencing responses consistent with the inflation targeting regime, although varied responses to: the economic cycle and the behaviour of the exchange rate and the credit cycle. Also, through estimations of two panel VAR models, it is evident that the accumulation of international reserves is carried out as a precaution, but financial vulnerability persists due to capital flows shocks.

Cartagena de Indias registra la mayor exclusion social entre las principales ciudades colombianas. Este articulo evalua el nivel de desarrollo humano y los determinantes de la pobreza en la comuna 6, donde predomina la poblacion afrocolombiana. Con el marco analitico de pobreza urbana, capacidades y estructura de oportunidades, y una base ad hoc para estimar un modelo probit como estrategia empirica, se elabora un perfil de pobreza diferenciado para esta extensa zona, con un enfoque espacial. Los resultados muestran que las variables laborales, etnicas –con evidencia concluyente a favor de blancos– y capital social explican las privaciones en esta comuna. ****** Cartagena de Indias has the highest social exclusion among the main cities in Colombia. This paper evaluates human development and the determinants of poverty in the commune 6, where the Afro-Colombian population predominates.

The results reveal that the labour ethnic variables -with conclusive evidence in favour of white people- and social capital explain the deprivations in this community.

The main factor to explain the decrease in the inequality in private sector wages in Argentina since 2002 is the cut in the pay gaps of workers with different levels of education. This article analyses the influence of the minimum wage and collective bargaining on the reduction of the education premiums among the formal private sector wage earners. The emphasis is made based on the fact that both institutions cannot be analysed separately and there is evidence that, during the period analysed, they wouldn’t have had an influence on the reduction of the education wage gaps.

We find evidence suggesting that economies with a tax structure more oriented toward indirect taxes –rather than direct taxes– tend to mitigate the effect of terms of trade shocks on output fluctuations. This finding might be particularly important for lower-income countries since the negative welfare effects caused by macroeconomic volatility in the absence of consumption-smoothing mechanisms are more severe in developing economies exposed to external shocks. Additionally, some of these economies are attempting to reorient their tax structure toward more direct taxes following the standards in advanced economies.

The Pareto principle was also found in the behaviour of the variables studied. portuguesEste artigo demonstrou que a distribuicao das vendas, a utilidade liquida, os ativos e o numero de empregados das maiores quinhentas empresas do Mexico seguem a lei de Zipf. Apos calcular os coeficientes de Zipf para o periodo de 2006 a 2017, estes foram usados para criar uma escala que mede tres distintos niveis de intensidade de competencia entre empresas, em seis setores da economia mexicana. Esta escala indica quando o setor esta concentrado e quando esta favoravel a criacao ou destruicao de empresas. Tambem revelou o principio de Pareto no comportamento das variaveis estudadas.","PeriodicalId":42391,"journal":{"name":"Cuadernos de Economia-Spain","volume":"39 1","pages":"919-947"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45564917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
