Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Modern society has eliminated the inhumane debtors' prisons for handling the insolvent debtor and in their stead have enacted benign modern laws in the area of bankruptcy. Unscrupulous merchants now use these benign laws for fraudulent purposes." Based on case studies in Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, and Venezuela, this is the first publication to provide recommendations about the important legal and institutional issues that are involved in bankruptcy reform in a critical region of the global economy. The authors note that effective bankruptcy policy balances several requirements for the conduct of a stable, successful economy. For example, it might be in the greatest interests to all parties if a company is given an opportunity to restructure and make use of the scarce resources remaining in its possession. On the other hand, inefficient firms, especially those that have long survived only on state subsidies, may need to fail in order to free space in the market for more efficient, better-managed companies. Finally, there are the needs to enforce loan contracts and provide an equitable system of debt collection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The note shares conflicting interests hampering insolvency systems reform in Latin America, and aims at assessing legal weaknesses, to propose some common solutions. Most insolvency systems share two prime objectives: allocating risk among participants in the economy, in a predictable, equitable and transparent way, and, maximizing the value of the insolvent firm for the benefit of all interested parties, and the broader economy. However, current regional problems reflect too rigid and formal insolvency laws; very high degrees of judicial discretion, increasing uncertainty, and financial risks; rampant corruption; absence of enforcement mechanisms to protect creditor interests; and, a powerful, explicit bias in favor of labor claimants, who are highly protected under preferential treatment. The note proposes a common set of essential reforms, to be prioritized according to each county's circumstances. First, disclosure of behind-the-scene dealings should be required, incentives created to combat corruption, rules of conduct setup, and, insolvency professional associations fostered. Second, insolvency laws should clearly differentiate criminal, from bankruptcy issues, where criminal conduct should not preclude insolvency relief to a business in crisis. Third, bankruptcy proceedings demand rapid resolution, by specialized courts, under regional cooperation in cross-border insolvency cases.

Download or read book Law and Employment written by James J. Heckman and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 585 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Law and Employment analyzes the effects of regulation and deregulation on Latin American labor markets and presents empirically grounded studies of the costs of regulation. Numerous labor regulations that were introduced or reformed in Latin America in the past thirty years have had important economic consequences. Nobel Prize-winning economist James J. Heckman and Carmen Pagés document the behavior of firms attempting to stay in business and be competitive while facing the high costs of complying with these labor laws. They challenge the prevailing view that labor market regulations affect only the distribution of labor incomes and have little or no impact on efficiency or the performance of labor markets. Using new micro-evidence, this volume shows that labor regulations reduce labor market turnover rates and flexibility, promote inequality, and discriminate against marginal workers. Along with in-depth studies of Colombia, Peru, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Jamaica, and Trinidad, Law and Employment provides comparative analysis of Latin American economies against a range of European countries and the United States. The book breaks new ground by quantifying not only the cost of regulation in Latin America, the Caribbean, and in the OECD, but also the broader impact of this regulation.
