dc.description.abstract: Good governance practices in Higher Education Institutions (heis) in Colombia have been a subject of discussion during the past decade. The Ministry of Education, key actors in heis' governance systems, and researchers with studies in this subject have participated in this dialogue. It was due to this debate that in November 2017 the National Council of Higher Education (cesu, by its acronym in Spanish) established the Public Policy for the improvement of Colombian heis' governance. This policy highlights relevant aspects for good governance at Colombian heis but leaves behind many others that we want to bring to discussion. This paper undertakes a critical review to the public policy enacted in 2017 and suggests to the Colombian Ministry of Education new issues to be considered in establishinggovernance guidelines for Colombian heis.
dc.description: Las prácticas de gobierno en las instituciones de educación superior (ies) en Colombia han sido objeto de debate en la década actual. En este diálogo han participado el Ministerio de Educación Nacional, actores en los sistemas de gobierno de las ies e investigadores que han desarrollado estudios sobre el tema en particular. En el marco de este debate, el Consejo Nacional de Educación Superior estableció la política pública para el mejoramiento del gobierno en las ies en noviembre de 2017. Esta política expresa aspectos relevantes para un buen gobierno en las ies del país, pero deja de lado otros que consideramos fundamentales traer a discusión. Este artículo realiza un análisis crítico a la política pública promulgada en el año 2017 y sugiere al Ministerio de Educación Nacional nuevos aspectos que deben ser considerados en el establecimiento de lineamientos de gobierno para las ies colombianas.

dc.description.abstract: We analyze a short-term macroeconometric model for the colombian economy, in order to evaluate the impact of the process of adjustment and stabilization. The model is based on a structure with non-neutralities given by sticky prices and it decompose the economy through the aggregated supply and demand. We estimate the model using different methods for the 1997 and 1998 years, with a quarterly frecuency, in order to make one-year and two-year forecasts.
dc.description: Este documento analiza un modelo macroeconométrico de corto plazo para la economía colombiana, con el fin de evaluar el impacto de procesos de ajuste y estabilización. Se basa en una estructura que reconoce no neutralidades por rigideces de precios y descompone la economía a través de oferta y demanda agregada. El modelo se estima por diversos métodos para el período comprendido entre 1977 y 1998 con una frecuencia trimestral, con el fin de realizar proyecciones para períodos de uno y dos años.

A proposal to commercialize minor and new exports directed towards the japanese marketOrbes Algarra, Victoria Eugeniahttps://repository.urosario.edu.co/handle/10336/154892021-06-03T05:48:35Z2010-01-01T00:00:00Zdc.title: A proposal to commercialize minor and new exports directed towards the japanese market; Una propuesta de comercialización para las exportaciones menores y nuevas con destino al mercado Japonés
dc.description.abstract: We propose the commercialization of fruits exports using the channels established between México, Chile, and Japan, and implementing the Third Country Trade system, which is being succesfully used by japanese commercializators. The proposal is based on the advantages offered by the supplementary relations between Colombia and Mexico, and Colombia and Chile -here, in exotic fruits.

dc.description.abstract: Previous research has shown that people with higher cognitive skills (mental abilities) and socioemotional skills (behaviors and personality) get better labor market outcomes. It is unclear, however, if this conclusion applies to low- and middle-income countries, given that existing literature builds on studies that are dominantly about high-income countries. In this paper, we explore how cognitive and socioemotional skills of adults, ages 15-64, relate to their labor market outcomes in the context of Colombia. Controlling for a range of confounding factors in a cross-sectional survey, we do find that adults with higher skills also have better outcomes, but that cognitive and socioemotional skills correlate with different outcomes and seemingly through different channels. Adults with higher cognitive skills have better jobs (with higher earnings, more formal, and high-skilled) and are more likely to complete tertiary education. Socioemotional skills correlate more modestly with having a better job but more strongly with labor market participation and tertiary-education completion. Results suggest that adults with both cognitive and socioemotional skills tend to do better in the labor market and that policies boosting the development of both types may be beneficial in Colombia.
dc.description: Investigaciones existentes en países desarrollados muestran que personas con mayores niveles de habilidades cognitivas y socioemocionales obtienen mejores resultados en el mercado laboral. Sin embargo, se desconoce si esos hallazgos se pueden extrapolar a países de medianos y bajos ingresos. En este documento, exploramos cómo las habilidades cognitivas y socioemocionales en adultos colombianos (edad entre 15 y 64) se relacionan con sus condiciones laborales. Controlando por números factores distorsionantes en una encuesta transversal, encontramos que adultos con altos niveles de habilidades obtienen mejores resultados en el mercado laboral. Las habilidades cognitivas y socioemocionales se asocian con diferentes indicadores. Adultos con mayores niveles de habilidades cognitivas tienen mejores trabajos (con salarios más altos, formales y mas proclives a ser trabajos altamente cualificados) y son más propensos a completar su educación terciaria. Las habilidades socioemocionales se relacionan, aunque en menor medida, con tener un mejor trabajo. No obstante, se vinculan estrechamente con la probabilidad de ser activo en el mercado laboral y con la probabilidad de completar su educación terciaria. Nuestros resultados sugieren que los adultos colombianos con mayores niveles de habilidades cognitivas y socioemocionales logran mejores resultados en el mercado laboral y que intervenciones de política que faciliten el desarrollo de ambos tipos de habilidades podrían tener consecuencias positivas.

dc.description: El presente documento muestra las dificultades teóricas de la identificación del bienestar individual y las ventajas de interpretar el Índice de Condiciones de Vida (ICV) y el Índice del Sistema de Selección de Beneficiarios (I-sisben) como indicadores de estándar de vida. Se discuten el concepto de bienestar individual, tal como se concibe en la teoría económica convencional y en la teoría de Sen, y el concepto de estándar de vida. Se presentan dos lecturas que ha recibido el ICV: como un indicador de utilidad y como un indicador de estándar de vida. como resultado se recomienda leer el ICV como un indicador de estándar de vida, puesto que es una visión menos simplista que la tradicional

dc.description: Este artículo discute la utilidad práctica que tiene la información de series de tiempo que ha sido ajustada estacionalmente. Se consideran algunos aspectos del ajuste estacional, y se examina qué tan relevantes son los datos ajustados por estacionalidad para el modelaje económico. Una recomendación que emerge de la discusión es que los datos ajustados deben presentarse junto con sus errores estándar estimados. Otra recomendación es que quizá sería mejor no realizar ningún tipo de ajuste estacional.

dc.description.abstract: We use a large firm level data set to investigate the determinants of foreign direct investment(FDI) in Colombia. We estimate econometric models for the determinants of the probabilitythat a firm receives FDI, as well as for the factors that help to explain the foreign share in afirm’s capital. The results show that firms listed on the stock market, involved in foreign tradeactivities, and operating in sectors with greater capital intensity are more likely to be recipientsof FDI. Also, the probability of a firm receiving FDI is directly related to its size.

dc.description.abstract: This article models the money demand for the Colombian economy between 1984 and 2016. We use a cointegration model under a non-linear framework as the one proposed by Saikkonen and Choi (2004). Our results suggest two extreme regimes for the money demand in the Colombian economy and confirm its instability. We found out that there is a cointegration long-term relationship between money demand, prices, income and the interest rate. The coefficients were significant and with the sign as expected by the economic theory. In particular, interest rate semi-elasticities were estimated between -0.005 and -0.983, while income elasticities were estimated between 1.967 and 3.006. Statistical evidence of homogeneity of degree one of the demand for money with respect to prices was ambiguous.
dc.description: El artículo explora la estimación de una función de demanda por dinero tradicional para la economía colombiana para el periodo 1984-2016. Se utiliza un modelo de cointegración bajo un enfoque no lineal, como el propuesto por Saikkonen y Choi (2004), el cual permitió encontrar dos regímenes extremos para la economía colombiana y con ello caracterizar el problema de inestabilidad de la demanda por dinero. Las estimaciones muestran la presencia de una relación de largo plazo entre los precios, el ingreso, la tasa de interés y la demanda de dinero. Los coeficientes ajustados son significativos y los signos de cada uno de ellos resultaron como lo esperado en la teoría económica. En particular, las semielasticidades respecto a la tasa de interés se situaron entre -0,005 y -0,983, mientras que las elasticidades ingreso encontradas oscilaron entre 1,967 y 3,006. La evidencia estadística sobre la homogeneidad de grado uno de la demanda por dinero respecto a los precios resultó ambigua.
