  • Financial Fragility and Neoliberalism in Developing Countries
    Financial Fragility and Neoliberalism in Developing Countries Andrés Blancas• Abstract The aim of this paper is to show the financial fragility dynamics in developing countries following the last theoretical advances. As an empirical application we prove that the Mexican economy has been characterized by financial fragility, mainly during the crisis terms. Financial fragility has created difficult problems for policy makers; in trying to fix it by restricted monetary and fiscal policies, they have triggered the generalized financial crises. Whereby, financial fragility can be diagnosed as an structural problem of developing countries like Mexico and a real potential risk of generalized economic crisis in the process of economic liberalization nowadays. Key Words: Economic dynamics, financial fragility, developing countries, financial crisis, monetary policy and Mexican economy JEL Classification: C61, E44, E58, F34, O5 1 Introduction The 1990s financial crises in developing and newly industrializing countries exemplify the risk of financial volatility and economic instability that has accompanied the economic liberalization and the deregulation of financial markets. For these countries, particularly in Asia and Latin America, the first part of the 1990s was distinguished by hopeful and cheerful • Institute of Economic Research, UNAM. 2007 E-mail address: [email protected].

However, the crises made irruption in Mexico (1994-1995), Asia (1997- 1998), Russia, Brazil, and several other Latin American countries (1998-1999), and Argentina (2001-2002). These kinds of crises showed that there was something wrong in the so-called “emergent economies” under the new “market friendliness” environment.

The decision overturned a ruling by City Planning Director Lisa Gardner, and it serves as vindication for the neighbors who have bat- tled to have more say in the arena project since the site was first targeted in 2003. “This should have been a conditional use permit process from day one,” said Jeff Nelson, former co-chair of the Fairmount Neighborhood Association.

  • Acevedo Opening Keynote Final
    THE ONE TRUE SUPERPOWER Elizabeth Acevedo I am thirteen and convinced, that it’s finally going to happen. No, not my menstrual period, although I’ve been waiting for that, too. I mean.... Magic. I am convinced that someone at the post office is a hater, and has returned-to-sender my Hogwarts letter. I am convinced my parents are afraid of what I’d do with immense super powers, so they haven’t put me in the right high-pressure situation to express my mutant gene. I am convinced the Mal de Ojo bracelet my grandma gave me secretly hides Dominican dragon balls, and I’m a super saiyan bruja in the making. See, I’ve watched all the TV shows, and read the books: I know the signs for magic. Just last week, I had a dream where my teeth shattered in my mouth like dropped dinner plates... and when I woke, I learned my mother’s uncle’s friend had died. And everyone knows shattered teeth dreams always mean someone’s died. So, basically, I must be able to predict the future. And yesterday, after Jessica Martinez made fun of my fat big toe in gym again, I gave her a squinty look out the corner of my eye and she tripped. OVER NOTHING. Except for my supernatural shade. And last month, after September 11 th , and the attacks at the World Trade Center Mami & I went to a candlelight vigil and when two doves were released into the sky one of them landed right on my shoulder! And I don’t know if “Dove Calling” is technically a super power, but when everyone looked at me, eyes full of wonder, I knew I could stop landslides, or battle sea monsters, one pretty pigeon at a time.

  • 1 Social and Individual Expression I the Idea Behind Expressivism As a Philosophy of Ethics Faces a Number of Different Challeng
    Social and Individual Expression I The idea behind expressivism as a philosophy of ethics faces a number of different challenges, and has a number of different choices to make as it tries to meet them. Perhaps the first is to specify what is the primitive of the theory, which will be something that is expressed, and is usually identified as a state of mind. Later in this paper, I shall suggest caution about this, but for the moment we can go along with it. Emotion was one suggestion, prescriptions are another, desires of various orders are candidates, but I prefer the less specific term ‘attitude’. One might ask why we should not go with the equally general term ‘belief’. The answer derives from the second challenge, which queries whether we have actually managed to locate a primitive suited to play its role in a substantive theory. This in turn depends on what exactly the substantive theory is trying to do, so we need to sketch an answer to that first. The need is more pressing since for some time now there have been theorists who have more or less explicitly turned their backs on the whole idea of ‘metaethics’ or theory of ethics, supposing that the only questions that should bother the philosopher come from within first-order practice, as we try to articulate our standards, to rank obligations and duties, or to relate those to utility and virtue. I think there are two broad answers to this, although they are related. The first would simply say that we want to understand our nature as creatures who go in for ethics.

Nakamura Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia Abstract In this paper I relate the measurement of intangibles to the project of measuring the sources of growth. I focus on three related and difficult areas of the measurement of national income: the measurement of new goods, the deflation of intangible investment, and the divergence between the social and private valuations of intangible assets. I argue that the economic theory and practice underlying measurement of these items is currently controversial and incomplete, and I point toward how concretely to move forward.
