In particular, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights has made national prosecution of gross state-sponsored crimes a center-piece of its regional agenda. The article will argue that this Latin American innovation is an important contribution to the interna- tional effort to end impunity. It should be considered as a complement and, in certain situations, an alternative to the work of the current international criminal tribunals.

Macro-Contingent Unemplyment Insurance

Elias Albagli, University of Southern California I propose an unemployment insurance (UI) scheme contingent on aggregate unemplo- yment dynamics. The insurance is triggered mechanically when unemployment rises consistently and fast for more than 3 months, or when it surpasses a critical value (9%). It covers 75% of previous net income, and lasts the minimum between 9 months and the period when aggregate unemployment falls below the critical level. The objective of the macro UI is coordinating the expectations of firms and households at a "high em- ployment equilibrium" in the outset of recessions. The generous insurance should have significant effects in reducing the precautionary savings motive of households when economic conditions appear to deteriorate, stabilizing aggregate demand and reducing the incentives of firms to fire workers. The proposed scheme is thus strategic: a suc- cessful macro-contingent UI is one which is seldom triggered in practice. A conser- vative quantification of the costs using Chilean unemployment data from 1986-2011 suggests the measure can be financed by a 1% payroll tax (shared by employees and firms).

What if this behavior was three-dimensional, considering the volume of a structure rather that just its perimeter? What if the behavior emerged through a central controlling force of collective intelligence?

This presentation will discuss a research project SHAPING Recycling and Thermal Control housing based on this new interdisciplinary model that implements microengineering principles at the scale of architecture. SHAPING Recycling and Thermal Control is a disaster relief housing prototype that tests the integration of solar based energy storage and greywater recycling for thermal and water management suitable for flood zones based on microptics and mcrofluidics. The interdisciplinary research, supported by the NEXUS Fulbright Scholar Award for Applied Research, uses as a testbed Mehuin, a fisherman village in southern Chile.
