Foreign Direct Investment in oil-abundant countries: The role of institutions
2019
The present work reassesses the impact of good governance and democracy on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in oil-abundant countries. To this end, we estimate the effect of host countries’ institutions on greenfield FDI, using a gravity equation for a dataset that covers 182 countries during 2003-2012. Our findings confirm that compliance to rule of law, lack of corruption, political stability and democracy could boost new FDI links through the extensive margin. Our results could not rule out the “oil curse”, meaning that oil producers attract fewer new greenfield projects than similar countries without oil. Unlike other studies, we show that the impact of institutions is not necessarily un…
Bases para el análisis económico de los sistemas de compliance penal
2019
Compliance programs and systems of criminal or administrative liability are being increasingly adopted by different countries as measures meant to reduce the social cost of white collar criminality. However, the legal application of these measures does not always ponder correctly the impacts on common good, the levels of economic activity and the adequate functioning of markets of goods and services. Eventually, this situation can lead to undesired effects, such as the inefficiency of the criminal system, the reduction of economic activity or the arising of obstacles to competition. By taking these circumstances into account, in this paper we will utilize the Economic Analysis of Law to ana…
Strategic sharing of a costly network
2012
We study minimum cost spanning tree problems for a set of users connected to a source. Prim’s algorithm provides a way of finding the minimum cost tree mm. This has led to several definitions in the literature, regarding how to distribute the cost. These rules propose different cost allocations, which can be understood as compensations and/or payments between players, with respect to the status quo point: each user pays for the connection she uses to be linked to the source. In this paper we analyze the rationale behind a distribution of the minimum cost by defining an a priori transfer structure. Our first result states the existence of a transfer structure such that no user is willing to …
The effects of monetary policy on income and wealth inequality in the U.S. Exploring different channels
2020
We assess the effects of monetary policy shocks on income and wealth inequality through direct inequality measures and by analyzing several transmission channels explored in recent literature. Furthermore, we analyze two additional channels: the Housing and the Fiscal channels. The methodology adopted is a Bayesian proxy SVAR using a high-frequency identification based on the external instruments approach. Our own policy shocks are constructed for this purpose. The results show that an expansionary monetary policy shock does not have a significant effect on income inequality due to the existence of opposite channels, whereas it increases wealth inequality mainly through the portfolio channe…
Corporate Networks and business influence in Panama, Costa Rica, and El Salvador.
2021
Objective/Context: This paper explores the relationship between corporate networks and business influence to figure out the conditions of state capture. Methodology: We analyze corporate networks through interlocking directorates in three Central American countries - Panama, Costa Rica, and El Salvador - using network analysis, and we pinpoint the relationship between the structure of the corporate network and two corporate political actions: contributions to presidential campaigns and revolving doors. Conclusions: Results show corporate networks were fragmented in the three Central American countries, except for a well-connected business cluster in Panama. The organization of business elit…
La fusión posterior a una adquisición de sociedad con endeudamiento de la adquirente (Análisis del art. 35 LME)
2015
La tesis aborda la problemática de las adquisiciones apalancadas con especial referencia a aquéllas que concluyen en una fusión. Ésta se encuentra dividida en tres partes, que se corresponden, respectivamente, con los aspectos económicos y financieros de la transacción, con la evolución histórica y panorama jurídico- comparado relativo a las fórmulas de tutela de los intereses económicos que surgen en la operación, y con el tratamiento jurídico-positivo dado a la misma tras la entrada en vigor del art. 35 de la Ley 3/2009, de Modificaciones Estructurales de las Sociedades Mercantiles. En la primera parte, que se corresponde con el primer capítulo, se da cuenta de las características fundame…
Eficacia de la resincronización cardiaca en el tratamiento de la insuficiencia cardiaca sintomática: metaanálisis y análisis económico
2014
La insuficiencia cardiaca es un síndrome clínico crónico, causado por alteraciones funcionales del corazón, generalmente del ventrículo izquierdo (VI). Es un importante problema de salud, con unas elevadas morbilidad y mortalidad. Es una de las enfermedades cardiovasculares que causa más invalidez, más mortalidad y mayor gasto en los países de nuestro entorno, a pesar de los recientes avances en su tratamiento. La terapia de resincronización cardiaca es una opción terapéutica en estos enfermos. Se trata de un marcapasos tricameral, con electrodos localizados en aurícula derecha, ventrículo derecho y en cara lateral de ventrículo izquierdo. Logra corregir la asincronía electromecánica ventri…
