  • Transport Infrastructure Improvements and Spatial Sorting: Evidence from Buenos Aires∗ [Click Here for the Latest Version]
    Transport Infrastructure Improvements and Spatial Sorting: Evidence from Buenos Aires∗ [Click here for the latest version] Pablo Ernesto Warnes† November 12, 2020 Abstract How do improvements in the urban transport infrastructure affect the spatial sort- ing of residents with different levels of income and education within a city? What are the welfare effects of improving urban transit once we take into account these pat- terns of spatial sorting? In this paper, I study the effects of the construction of a bus rapid transit system (BRT) on the spatial reorganization of residents within the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina. To do so, I leverage an individual level panel data set of more than two million residents with which I can describe intra-city migration patterns. I first find reduced form evidence that the construction of the BRT increased the spatial segregation between high and low-skilled residents within the city. I then develop a dynamic quantitative spatial equilibrium model of a city with heterogeneous workers that allows me to quantify the welfare effects of this BRT system while taking into ac- count these spatial sorting patterns. With this quantitative framework, I can measure the average welfare gains for residents that were living near the BRT lines before these were built. I find that welfare gains were very similar between high- and low-skilled workers living in the same locations, but very different within skill levels across lo- cations. Residents living near a BRT line in neighborhoods with the lowest share of high-skilled residents saw welfare gains close to 1% on average, while residents liv- ing near a BRT line in neighborhoods with the highest high-skilled share saw welfare gains around 0.5% on average.

Some of the key sceneries of her life are here visited as well as the place where her corpse was mummified and the museum opened to commemorate her legacy.

  • Useful Information About Buenos Aires CLADEA 2014 Buenos Aires 1
    Useful information about Buenos Aires CLADEA 2014 Buenos Aires 1. Tips for money exchange Due to economy policies we have had these few last years, foreign exchange has two markets: the official one and the so-called “blue” (not legal but which most people use). As tourists you can access the official market in banks and foreign exchange offices. We strongly recommend that you stick to it and not try buying in the blue market. While walking along downtown streets you will be offered money exchange by people standing in the corners. These are what we call “arbolitos” (small trees). Their rate is usually very good but making a transaction with them is quite risky. Where to get reliable Exchange information • www.bna.com.ar – página oficial. • www.afip.gob.ar – página oficial. • www.ambito.com -- página no oficial. • www.lanacion.com.ar/dolar-hoy – página no oficial. Some other useful tips on money • Tax Free Shopping – Foreign tourists can get the IVA tax (VAT) refunded when buying domestic goods as from $70. To get this percentage discounted, you should ask to be given a “B” ticket at stores and the “Refunding Check” stating the amount to be refunded. Any imported good you may buy should be in a different ticket. Before departure you should show the acquired goods, the ticket and check to be stamped at customs. The amount to be refunded is the 21% of the full price, which corresponds to the IVA. • Please note: Some restaurants, hotels, shopping malls, may prefer to receive dollars so they can give you a better exchange rate.

IRAM’s commitment to standardization started in the mid 30s, in the last century, during the aftermath of the economic crash of 1929, when all countries were suffering from the sequels of the first global crisis of the XXth century. Already in those times, those who founded IRAM considered standardization as the basis for the development of an industrialized country, which could become a successful competitor worldwide. they consequently propagated this idea throughout Latin America, fueling the creation of national standards bodies. History allows us to state that local populations are the result of the merger of José Francisco López immigration waves from the most diverse origins, with a lot of the temperance and determination of our ancestors. This leads us, Argentineans, into striving to join the countries of the world. We know that an active involvement in international fora is an effective means for achieving this objective. Despite the fact that we have experienced and are still facing the difficulties inherent to a country that is part of a developing region, those difficulties have never stifled Argentina’s wish to make progress and become part of the world.

  • Mnemonic Initiatives Following Trauma And/Or Repression in Buenos Aires, Argentina
    GRAFFITI, MEMORY AND CONTESTED SPACE: MNEMONIC INITIATIVES FOLLOWING TRAUMA AND/OR REPRESSION IN BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA BY ERIN E. ARMI KAIPAINEN A thesis Submitted in partial fiilfillment Of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts MA Program in Social Justice and Equity Studies BROCK UNIVERSITY St. Catharines, Ontario February 12,2007 © Erin E. Armi Kaipainen, 2007 Yd '< /.M ABSTRACT Graffiti, Memory and Contested Space: Mnemonic Initiatives Following Periods of Trauma and/or Repression in Buenos Aires, Argentina This thesis concerns the popular articulation ofmemory following periods or incidents of trauma in Argentina. I am interested in how groups lay claim to various public spaces in the city and how they convert these spaces into mnemonic battlegrounds. In considering these spaces of trauma and places of memory, I am primarily interested in how graffiti writing (stencils, spray-paint, signatures, etchings, wall-paintings, murals and installations) is used to make these spaces transmit particular memories that impugn official versions of the past. This thesis draws on literatures focused on popular/public memory. Scholars argue that memory is socially constructed and thus actively contested. Marginal initiatives such as graffiti writing challenge the memory projects of the state as well as state projects that are perceived by citizens to be 'inadequate,' 'inappropriate,' and/or as promoting the erasure of memory. Many of these initiatives are a reaction to the pro- reconciliation and pro-oblivion strategies of previous governments. I outline that the history of silences and impunity, and a longstanding emphasis on reconciliation at the expense of truth and justice has created an environment of vulnerable memory in Argentina.

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract In this article, I will reconstruct, through brief stories, some of the traits that characterize the way of life of families in the El Salvador neighborhood, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, go scavenging eve- ryday in Buenos Aires city. These stories will not only tell us who they are and how they arrived at the El Salvador neighborhood, from where, and in what manner they began to salir con la carreta, but will also permit us to move closer to the day-to-day existence of these families in relationship to their life in the barrio and the activities they engage in, thereby giving us a fuller understanding of family dynamics. In the research that originated this paper, I followed an ethnographical pers- pective to study and analyze the way of life of those families living from the recyclable waste they recollect in Buenos Aires city. Keywords Cardboard Pickers; Labour; Poverty; Recycalable Waste; Buenos Aires 1. Introduction: The Beginnings of a Journey One afternoon in October of 2002, I arrived at the train station in the northern zone of the city of Buenos Aires in search of the women and men who, along with their families, take the train into the city to collect paper and cardboard.
