Abstract

This document is the second part of a special issue on Latin American economies. It contains five essays that provide insights into the economic situations, economic policies, political tendencies, and governance issues in Latin American countries. The essays highlight the heterogeneity among these countries, with Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico facing different problems. Brazil and Mexico have focused on achieving financial stability, even at the expense of economic and social development. The essays also discuss the challenges and changes in the Mexican, Brazilian, and Argentinian economies, as well as the problems of democratic governance in Latin American countries.

31. A New Index for Public Investment Management

Author

Rojas Canela, Antonio, Moreno Brid, Juan Carlos, Rojas Canela, Antonio, and Moreno Brid, Juan Carlos

Abstract

The objective of this article is to improve the most widely used indicator of quality in public investment management (the PIMI). The methodology was to use an alternative algorithm to build a new version of the PIMI and calculate it for sixteen Latin American countries. The result is a New PIMI that appears better than the original one, as it has a positive correlation with an objective indicator of the efficiency of public investment, which is not achieved by the original PIMI. We recommend the use of the New PIMI, proposed here, as a control variable in studies on aggregated public investment and its impacts on economic growth and social welfare. One limitation of the New PIMI is that it reflects the quality of public investment management at the aggregate level and based on de jure criteria, thus not capturing key differences that occur at a more disaggregated or informal level. Even so, the relevance, originality and replicability of the New PIMI make it a significant contribution to knowledge in this field. JEL Classification: H54, H6, C43., Un nuevo índice para la gestión de la inversión pública El objetivo de este artículo es mejorar el indicador más utilizado sobre la calidad en la gestión de la inversión pública (Public Investment Management Index, PIMI). La metodología fue utilizar un algoritmo alternativo para construir una nueva versión del PIMI y calcularlo para dieciséis países latinoamericanos. El resultado es un Nuevo PIMI que parece mejor que el anterior, ya que tiene una correlación positiva con un indicador objetivo de la eficiencia de la inversión pública, lo que no logra el PIMI original. Recomendamos el uso del Nuevo PIMI, aquí propuesto, como variable de control en los estudios sobre la inversión pública agregada y sus impactos en el crecimiento económico y bienestar social. Una limitación del Nuevo PIMI es que refleja la calidad de la gestión de la inversión pública a nivel agregado y con base en criterios de jure, pero no permite capturar las diferencias en la eficiencia de dicha gestión que pueden ocurrir a nivel más desagregado o informal. Aun así, la originalidad y replicabilidad del Nuevo PIMI constituyen un aporte significativo al conocimiento del tema.

45. Trade agreements and decent work in Mexico: The case of the automotive and textile industries

Abstract

The study examines the effects of trade liberalization on employment and the labour market in Mexico's manufacturing industry. The analysis places special emphasis on assessing the extent to which the industry's distinct trade performance is accompanied by an improvement in labour conditions with the objective of ensuring decent work. For this purpose, the study applies the framework of decent work indicators developed by the International Labour Organization (ILO), in combination with input-output analysis, to explore selected links between international trade and certain indicators of decent work in two industries of Mexico's manufacturing sector: automotive and textile. We chose these two industries because of the key differences in their organizational structures, their roles in global value chains (GVC) and their dynamism in recent decades. With the policy shift towards trade liberalization in recent decades, the automotive industry has come to be regarded as the jewel of Mexico's export market. The textile industry, in contrast, suffered a severe shock as trade liberalization brought about increased competition in Mexico's domestic market, despite the industry increasing its participation in GVCs. A key contribution of the study was to construct a set of relevant time series indicators of decent work for these two industrial activities in Mexico, based on ILO guidelines and official data. Taking into account this set of indicators, as well as Mexico's labour market regulatory reforms and their links to trade agreements, including the Agreement between the United States of America, the United Mexican States and Canada (USMCA), the study finds important differences in these two industries' advance towards decent work, which can be partly explained by their distinct performances in international trade. Based on these results, the study offers some policy recommendations to help achieve a more robust pace of progress towards decent work.

47. Economic development and social policies in Mexico

Abstract

Since the mid-1980s Mexico has implemented a radical reorientation of its development strategy away from state-led industrialization and trade protection. This reform has drastically reduced the role of the state in the economy in favour of market mechanisms, and changed the orientation of social policies towards targeting and decentralization. The article examines the effects of this reform on Mexico's social and economic development, and finds that its results have been far from stellar. Indeed, notwithstanding the reduction of inflation and the downsizing of the state, the economy has expanded at a slow rate way below its growth in needs. The authors conclude that if Mexico is to succeed in its quest to enter a path of robust long-term development it will need to modify its social and economic policies. Keywords: social policies; Mexican economy; economic development; social development; neoliberal reforms; NAFTA.

Abstract

Using the perpetual inventories method with adjustment factor of Almon (1999), a proposal is made of estimating capital stocks, both public and private, in Mexico at the subnational level for the period 2004-2018. Gross state fixed capital formation data, average depreciation rate of 9.7% from INEGI-national counts; fixed capital consumption-were used and weights were calculated for each year. As a result, a series of data consistent with economic fluctuations is obtained, as it follows the trend of gross real fixed capital formation. It also solves the estimation problem inherent in the perpetual inventory method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

La edición especial de la Revista CEPAL que presentamos ha sido elaborada en el contexto de la crisis sanitaria ocasionada en 2020 por la propagación de la enfermedad por coronavirus (COVID-19) a escala mundial. Junto con esta pandemia se ha desencadenado también la más aguda crisis económica del capitalismo global desde la Gran Depresión de la década de 1930. En términos más amplios, se trata de una grave crisis humanitaria que ha costado millones de vidas humanas, truncadas por el contagio del virus, así como pérdidas de producción y empleo que se han traducido también en deterioro de las condiciones de bienestar material de vastos segmentos de la población mundial (sobre todo en materia de salud, educación y nutrición) y, por lo mismo, en fuertes retrocesos en materia de pobreza y distribución de los ingresos. En esta sombría escena mundial, América Latina ha resultado ser una de las regiones más afectadas por la pandemia, situación que no es casual en el marco de las asimetrías internas y externas que configuran su disfuncional estilo de desarrollo, patrón que las literaturas estructuralista y neoestructuralista han descrito en numerosos escritos en los que se analiza la dinámica socioeconómica y ambiental de la región en diferentes estadios históricos.
