Resumen En este documento se estiman las implicaciones fiscales del acuerdo de libre comercio firmado entre Estados Unidos, La República Dominicana y cinco países centroamericanos (Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras y Nicaragua). Entre los cinco posibles efectos sobre ingresos fiscales (directo, indirecto, elasticidad, sustitución e inducido) sólo se analizan los tres primeros. El cuarto efecto podría ser insignificante, mientras que la evaluación del quinto es tan incierta que se deja de lado. En este estudio se utiliza el método de estática comparativa con el fin de evaluar el impa…

In this paper we estimate the fiscal implications of the free trade agreement signed between the United States of America and the five Central American countries of Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. Of the five possible effects on fiscal revenue (direct, indirect, elasticity, substitution and induced), in this paper we estimate the first three. The fourth effect is most likely negligible, whereas the estimation of the fifth one would be plagued by uncertainty, so we do not attempt it here. We use comparative statics to estimate the impact. We find the adverse …
O aprofundamento das negociações entre os 34 países que comporão a ALCA mostrou a importância da realização de avaliações sobre normas e procedimentos em compras governamentais adotados em alguns blocos de comércio referenciais, como é o caso da União Européia, do Acordo de Compras Governamentais da OMC e do capítulo sobre compras governamentais do NAFTA. Revela-se, ainda, de primordial interesse avaliar a política de aquisições governamentais adotada na legislação dos Estados Unidos, o maior parceiro da ALCA, pela abrangência que esta assume ao determinar a preferência, nas aquisiçõe…
Our Caribbean civilisation has been very much shaped by the sea. The evidence of this in our region abounds from time immemorial: the peopling of our Caribbean; its trading; its economy and commerce, ancient and modern; its daily living and eating; its culture and its thinking. All these facets of life and production have been moulded, even determined, by the sea. Yet, strangely our Caribbean civilisation has yet to reflect in public policy the real value and significance of the sea which joins us all. To be sure, each country in the region has its own ministry of fisheries but each m…

Summary During the 1980's, the Dominican Republic made attempts at macroeconomic reform that saw little success. A decade later a stabilization and structural reform package was implemented. This package included, among other aspects, inflation control through monetary restraint and a tax and tariff reform which sought to increase the efficiency of the prevailing tax structure and eliminate its relative price distortion while maintaining fiscal equilibrium. Price stabilization was achieved, nominal import tariff rates were reduced and the economy started on a growth trajectory th…
