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.

Download or read book Preliminary Overview of the Economies of Latin America and the Caribbean 2000 written by United Nations and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The economic recovery of the Latin American and Caribbean economies that began in the final quarter of 1998 continued during the year 2000, and the region's GDP, after coming to a virtual standstill the year before, grew 4%. The main engine of this recovery was an export boom, while domestic demand was weaker than expected. Partly because of that weakness, the region's brisker growth rate was not reflected in any appreciable decrease in unemployment, which remained at nearly 9%, and real wages rose very little. Thanks to the export boom, the region was able to narrow the deficit on its balance.
Download or read book Latin America and the Caribbean in the World Economy written by United Nations and published by UN. This book was released on 2012-01-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In mid-2011, conditions deteriorated in the industrialized economies. Early in the year, instability in North Africa combined with other factors to push up fuel prices. Then, in March, the tragedy of the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster in Japan damaged global production chains. Although the impacts of these factors eased in the second semester, concern mounted over the threat of default in Greece, Ireland and Portugal and the repercussions of such an event for larger European economies. In late July, the difficulties in securing congressional approval on the United States public debt ceiling added to the volatility prevailing in financial markets. The downgrading of the United States' sovereign debt rating for the first time ever and lacklustre economic growth rates in the euro area and the United States added to the uncertainty.
