Since the global crisis of 2008-2009, there has been less confidence in the primacy of markets to lead sustainable development among developing countries in general and small island developing States (SIDS) in particular. It is acknowledged that markets need discipline and an institutional context that can support private gains while reducing social costs and delivering less inequality. Prompted by declining competitiveness in leading sectors, and a commitment to addressing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), governments in the subregion have been developing long-term plan…

En este trabajo se analiza la introducción del modelo de negocios basado en plataformas en el mercado laboral colombiano, que se caracteriza por un alto nivel de informalidad. Estos modelos generan valor y flexibilidad, tanto para los consumidores como para los trabajadores. Sin embargo, en este modelo, conocido como “trabajo a demanda”, la empresa de plataforma transfiere el riesgo de las variaciones en la demanda de sus servicios a los trabajadores, que disponen de pocas herramientas para manejarlo, lo que termina por reforzar las precarias condiciones laborales que los caracterizan. El estu…

La omisión de la estructura espacial en las estimaciones puede conducir a un sesgo en el cálculo del parámetro de productividad. En algunas teorías económicas se considera que los incrementos de la productividad laboral deberían traducirse en aumentos de las remuneraciones. A su vez, dadas las relaciones económicas y productivas entre los territorios, es posible que la …

The world’s financing needs multiplied rapidly from 2020 onward owing to the effects of a systemic crisis considered to have been the worst global crisis since the Second World War: that unleashed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, flows from China, FDI and other inflows of international cooperation and multilateral resources which had been the largest in the region for some years fell back from their pre-pandemic levels.
In this context, the debate about the fundamental role of development banks in alleviating market constraints in a crisis has come to the fore. The present study seeks to…
