The Joint Program “Support for the development of an Integrated National Framework for Financing the SDGs in Cuba” or CIFFRA is part of the more than 70 international experiences promoted by the United Nations system to finance the 2030 Agenda.

This report describes in detail the process followed to carry out the project, summarizing the key milestones, lessons, challenges, and c…

Os desafios impostos a partir do desenho peculiar da Federação brasileira não são triviais. A dinâmica de repartição de competências e recursos financeiros vigente expõe a necessidade de remodelagem e afinamento das relações intergovernamentais por meio de processos de coordenação e cooperação a fim de minimizar as assimetrias. É neste contexto que os consórcios públicos vêm se sobressaindo no cenário federativo, diante da possibilidade de responder a determinadas competências a partir do ganho de escala, aprimoramento técnico e racionalização do gasto público. Embora tenham sido formalizadas …
O texto contribui com a discussão da Meta 11 do Plano Nacional de Cultura, que propõe o aumento do emprego formal do setor cultural, apoiada na Relação Anual de Informações Sociais (Rais). Aborda-se o mercado de trabalho cultural a partir da Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios Contínua (PNAD Contínua), por abranger a informalidade, dinâmica não abarcada pela Rais. Parte-se do estudo sobre o mercado de trabalho da cultura, suas características e contrapontos em relação às transformações no mundo do trabalho contemporâneo, bem como as relações de emprego da sociedade salarial e suas poss…

This study presents an exploratory analysis of the current state of financing the implementation of quality education and resilient infrastructure in Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados and Saint Lucia. The study will analyze domestic funding sources, including government budgetary resources, and foreign sources, including loans and grants. It will examine strategies the region can adopt to leverage funding at scale, such as blended finance, innovative PPPs, ESG-driven FDI and syndicated loans. The study will also examine how the countries can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of financing to…
This study proposes using optimum currency areas (OCA) as a theoretical basis for analysis of the full dollarization of Ecuador, viewing the country and the United States as an informal monetary union. At least two facets of this are of interest: (i) the convergence properties of inflation rates between Ecuador and the United States; and (ii) the degree of vulnerability of the Ecuadorian economy to changes in United States monetary policy. Unit roots and stationarity tests are used to study inflation rate convergence, structural vector autoregressive models are used to examine the Ecuadorian e…
This article analyses Raúl Prebisch’s earliest activities while still a young student at the University of Buenos Aires, between 1918 and 1922. One of these activities was the translation of texts by foreign economists for the university’s Revista de Ciencias Económicas, contributing to the dissemination of ideas in Argentina. We analyse Prebisch’s 1919 translation of Adolph Wagner and find indications that he modified the text, firstly by selecting for translation excerpts critical of the idea that free trade was automatically beneficial to all nations, secondly by omitting Wagner’s defence o…
Health satellite accounts provide information to elucidate the interaction between the health sector and the rest of the economy. However, in Brazil these accounts have gaps, such as a lack of data on gross fixed capital formation. The aim of this article is to present a methodology to measure gross fixed capital formation in the health sector in 2010–2019 and to analyse the data thus obtained. The results show that gross fixed capital formation in the health sector is biased towards machinery and equipment rather than construction. The share of private investment increased throughout the peri…
In Latin America, “islands of modernity” associated with a new biological and digital paradigm in the exploitation of natural resources and the production of services and manufactures coexist with vast segments of the population mired in insecurity, poverty, stagnation and social exclusion. This structural dualism reflects a growing gap between a modern segment of society that emulates the behaviour patterns of developed nations and a segment that lags behind, in which labour informality, basic material deprivations and rising citizen insecurity predominate. The lack of an appropriate theory o…
We compare the effects of labour market shocks and social policy responses on people’s welfare following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Uruguay. We assess the role of formal and informal sector labour incomes and social transfers in the changes observed in the distribution of income and welfare. We worked with harmonized household survey microdata and performed a microdecomposition analysis by income source. In all four countries, the loss of earnings was the main mechanism behind the loss of income, and developments in the informal sector were crucial in…
