Book excerpt: La obra destaca lo último en conocimiento e investigación sobre el sector de la economía latinoamericana que más genera empleo, impulsa la movilidad social y actúa como incubadora de innovación, pero permanece menospreciado y poco estudiado. Aporta una valiosa actualización de nuevas tendencias en el desarrollo del sector, el papel que desempeña en nuestra cada vez más global economía y lo que recién hemos aprendido de las políticas ideadas para apoyarlo. Una muy bienvenida, oportuna y entusiasta contribución a las pymes. Allen Blackman Centro de investigación Resources for the Future Washington, D. C. Este es un libro fundamental para comprender que las pymes son un actor clave en la transformación productiva de América Latina y que la región puede y debe incentivar el acceso al financiamiento, el emprendimiento, la innovación y la inserción en cadenas de suministro globales para lograr un crecimiento más alto e inclusivo. Enrique García Presidente ejecutivo CAF - Banco de Desarrollo de América Latina. Las pymes, pequeñas y medianas empresas, son la fuente de empleo y de movilidad social más importante de América Latina. Fortalecerlas, mejorarlas y facilitar su crecimiento y sostenibilidad son prioridades en torno de las cuales políticos y analistas están de acuerdo. Sin embargo, hay poco acuerdo en la manera en que estos objetivos pueden convertirse en realidades. Son muchos y variados los esfuerzos que en toda América Latina se han hecho para potenciar la pequeña y mediana industria. Con frecuencia estos esfuerzos han dado pocos resultados. Henry Gómez y Bart van Hoof convocan en estas páginas a un lúcido grupo de analistas y académicos que nos ofrecen una interesante visión panorámica de las realidades, dificultades y posibilidades de las pymes en América Latina. Este texto será referencia obligatoria para cualquier análisis o propuesta que en el futuro se hagan sobre este sector tan importante para la economía y la sociedad de nuestra región.

Book excerpt: Después de un largo período en el que el desarrollo económico se equiparaba a la creación y el crecimiento de grandes empresas, hoy hay consenso en que éstas no son capaces de proveer nuevos puestos de trabajo con el dinamismo necesario para disminuir el desempleo.

Download or read book Glosario Del Banco Mundial written by World Bank and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1996 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition of the World Bank has been revised and expanded by the Terminology Unit in the Languages Services Division of the World Bank in collaboration with the English, Spanish, and French Translation Sections. The Glossary is intended to assist the Bank's translators and interpreters, other Bank staff using French and Spanish in their work, and free-lance translator's and interpreters employed by the Bank. For this reason, the Glossary contains not only financial and economic terminology and terms relating to the Bank's procedures and practices, but also terms that frequently occur in Bank documents, and others for which the Bank has a preferred equivalent. Although many of these terms, relating to such fields as agriculture, education, energy, housing, law, technology, and transportation, could be found in other sources, they have been assembled here for ease of reference. A list of acronyms occurring frequently in Bank texts (the terms to which they refer being found in the Glossary) and a list of international, regional, and national organizations will be found at the end of the Glossary.
Download or read book Foreign Direct Investment in Latin America and the Caribbean 2018 written by United Nations and published by . This book was released on 2019-01-30 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication sets out and analyses the main foreign direct investment (FDI) trends in the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean. In 2017, certain trends that had already emerged in the global economic landscape became more established. In particular, announcements of potential restrictions on trade and pressures to relocate production to developed countries were confirmed. At the same time, China has taken steps to restrict outflows of foreign direct investment (FDI) in order to align these flows with its strategic plan. Adding to these factors is the expansion of digital technologies, whose international expansion requires smaller investments in tangible assets. Firms in these areas are heavily concentrated in the United States and China, which reduces the need for cross-border mergers and acquisitions.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

Download or read book Trade and Employment written by Marion Jansen and published by International Labor Office. This book was released on 2011 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An International Labor Office and European Commission publication Although the effect of trade on employment is a popular point of economic debate, there are very few factual assessments available. This book examines the most recent evidence and provides guidance for the design of tools to assess more accurately the employment impacts of trade. Trade and Employment argues for strengthening the micro-foundations of models used to evaluate the employment effects of trade and for including the informal economy and adjustment processes in modeling efforts. It emphasizes the role of governments in helping firms survive or grow, in providing social protection to protect against external shocks, in addressing gender equity, and in building physical infrastructure and human skills bases that facilitate export diversification. It is a valuable resource for all those interested in the debate on the employment effects of trade: workers and employers, academics and policymakers, and trade and labor specialists.
Download or read book Science Technology and Innovation Policies for Development written by Gustavo Crespi and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-04-11 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the implementation of science, technology and innovation (STI) policy in eight Latin American countries and the different paths these policies have taken. It provides empirical evidence to examine the extent to which STI policies are contributing to the development of the region, as well as to the solution of market failures and the stimulus of the region’s innovation systems. Since the pioneering work of Solow (1957), it has been recognized that innovation is critical for economic growth both in developed and in less-developed countries. Unfortunately Latin America lags behind world trends, and although over the last 20 years the region has established a more stable and certain macroeconomic regime, it is also clear that these changes have not been enough to trigger a process of innovation and productivity to catch-up. Against this rather grim scenario there is some optimism emerging throughout the region. After many years of inaction the region has begun to invest in science, technology and engineering once again. Furthermore, after many changes in innovation policy frameworks, there is now an emerging consensus on the need for a solution to coordination failures that hinder the interaction between supply and demand. Offering an informative and analytic insight into STI policymaking within Latin America, this book can be used by students, researchers and practitioners who are interested in the design and implementation of innovation policies. This book also intends to encourage discussion and collaboration amongst current policy makers within the region.
