We study the use of labour markets to mitigate the impact of violent shocks on households in rural areas. Because the incidence of violent shocks is not exogenous, the analysis uses instrumental variables. As a response to violent shocks men decrease the time they devote to off-farm agricultural activities and increase off-farm non-agricultural activities, while women decrease their leisure time and increase the time they devote to household chores and childcare. Labour markets appear unable to fully absorb the additional labour supply. Policies in conflict-affected countries should aim to prevent labour markets from collapsing. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Currently, Colombia is negotiating its membership to the OECD. To achieve its accession, Colombia shall, among other things, adopt a regulatory policy. This article aims to introduce the main axes of this policy in order to identify opportunities and challenges for its future implementation. The biggest opportunity will be its contribution to the constitutional and democratic state, but in order to take advantage of this, some challenges will need to be addressed first. The main challenge will be to formulate this policy taking into account a broad notion of regulation (Prosser, 2010). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Colombian women continue to be the social sector that has suffered from the situation of disadvantage in the process of development of Colombia. The fact is that it cannot be ignored that they are still touring a thorny road paid from the social exclusion, original from the progress and the country's economic modernization processes. Such violations against colombian women, require the existence of a proposal for the inclusion of the category of gender in the analysis of the economic law as a promoter of development, to demonstrate that despite the existence of a legal and constitutional construction which responds to the harmonious development of everyone, there are cardinal issues inconclusive for women's economic and social progress yet. In this sense, this document will depart from the conviction that the economic right has a great commitment to the processes of development in Colombia and that only with the application of the analytical framework of Harvard (gender mainstreaming) as gender mainstreaming in Colombia, legal and social oriented interpositions may promote the well-being of Colombian women.

Making a legal, jurisprudential and doctrinal revision with respect to the judicial tariff in Colombia, it can be found meritoriousdiscussions that are related to the opposed principle of free justice and to the affable solution of the budgetary conditions of the judicial branch, through the payment of a fee. Although each professional in this field, speaker and legislator, gives great importance to each of their arguments, it is no less true that each one prevents about the vacuum that leaves focusing on its importance on one side of the scale and not on the other, that is, while some of them preach the principle of free justice and the right to access to it warning about the exceptions that the same law stablishes, others give more importance to the need of the judicial tariff as a palliative for the budget crisis and do not hesitate to observe the exceptions to which are subjected those, that if being subjected to the tariff, cannot access to justice, for example under cover of poverty. Below there is a brief about what is, what has been and what will be the judicial tariff in Colombia; the changes that are convenient and which are not to purge the economic crisis of the judicial branch; the relevant exceptions with their respective explanations and the relevant foreign jurisprudence, as a model to be followed according to the excellent results in each of the countries studied.

The political model chosen in Colombia to offer public housing to the poorest, involves the market taken as a regulator of the effective access to houses, exclusively following the private property paradigm. Meanwhile, it is intended to constitutionally grant the right to housing ensured also as a political statement. At the same time, the right to the city progressively makes its way into the international scenery as a collective precept; this helps visualize the conflict between the economic reality of the model and its social implications. Therefore, the text contrasts the concepts of private property, social utility; individualism, collectivism; and constitutional framework, supply and demand laws. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: The aim of this research is to present the results of the Microntrepreneurs's health module survey of the Metropolitan Area of Bucaramanga in 2012, seeking an approach to the measurement of health status and its importance to the actions and public policies for the productive sector of the city. Metodology: The methodological approach was the Assets, Vulnerability and Structure of Opportunities (AVSO) and health module was designed with the aid of methodologies such as the Short Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36), EuroQol 5D, and RAND, validated by authors like Foot, Roberts and Stansfeld; and Johnson and Pickard. Results: The survey allowed to measure the subjective health status of micro entrepreneurs where 30% were located in excellent condition, 17% very good, 39% in good, 12% regular, and 2% on a bad health. 25.5% of entrepreneurs said that they had to reduce the time dedicated to their work during the last month because of physical or emotional health issues. We also found that 48% of respondents mentioned that their work has affected their health overtime. Conclusion: The results indicate the need to integrate health variable in public and private policies for the productive sector, targeting the reduction of constraints to work on daily activities, prevention of occupational diseases and the treatment of long-term illness and derivatives of aging.

Using the currency demand approach, size and development of Colombia's shadow economy are estimated over the period from 1980 to 2012. The results show a great extent of shadow economic activity varying over time between 27 and 56% of GDP. The most important factors driving the shadow economy are indirect taxation and unemployment. Analyzing the interaction between shadow and official economy, the shadow economy has a negative effect on the official one. Average growth of real per capita GDP is 1.86% between 1980 and 2012, without shadow economy it would have been higher around 0.12 percentage points on average. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
