Research Network Working Paper, 426. Efectos de la reforma en salud sobre las conductas irregulares en los hospitales públicos / Ursula Giedion 

Público ISBD Título de serie: Research Network Working Paper, 426 Título : Efectos de la reforma en salud sobre las conductas irregulares en los hospitales públicos : el caso de Bogotá, distrito capital, Colombia Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: Ursula Giedion ; Luis González Morales ; Olga Lucía Acosta Editorial: Washington : Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo Fecha de publicación: 2001 Número de páginas: 56 p Idioma : Español Temas: BANCO INTERAMERICANO DE DESARROLLO COLOMBIA HOSPITALES REFORMA DE LA SALUD Clasificación: 338.9 Resumen: La reforma aplicada en Colombia en el sector salud durante la década de los noventa logró un importante avance en cobertura de la población mediante un nuevo esquema público-privado en la provisión de este servicio. Este trabajo estudia el efecto de las innovaciones institucionales sobre las conductas irregulares en los hospitales públicos de Bogotá. El estudio muestra en primer lugar que hay evidencia de conductas irregulares en los hospitales públicos. Los resultados muestran que en 1998 se perdieron alrededor de un 5% de las horas médicas contratadas como consecuencia del ausentismo injustificado y también que el 60% de las adquisiciones de insumos médicos de una muestra fueron pagadas a precios superiores a los que era posible obtener a través de una organización que ofrece precios negociados con las autoridades del Distrito. Así mismo encuentra que la reforma no logró en todos los casos realizar un verdadero cambio de reglas del juego en el sector. Aquellos hospitales más exitosos en asimilar la reforma muestran menores niveles de conductas irregulares en el indicador construido en este trabajo.

Research Network Working Paper, 414. Un estudio sobre la autonomía administrativa del banco central de Venezuela / Armando Barrios Ross 

Público ISBD Título de serie: Research Network Working Paper, 414 Título : Un estudio sobre la autonomía administrativa del banco central de Venezuela Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: Armando Barrios Ross ; Abelardo Daza Editorial: Washington : Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo Fecha de publicación: 2000 Número de páginas: 37 p Idioma : Español Temas: BANCO INTERAMERICANO DE DESARROLLO BANCOS CENTRALES VENEZUELA Clasificación: 338.9 Resumen: El propósito básico de este estudio es contribuir a la comprensión de los factores favorables y los elementos de potencial amenaza para que los bancos centrales ejerzan su autonomía institucional. Para el logro de este propósito, se utiliza la metodología de estudio de casos, examinando la experiencia de Venezuela durante dos eventos particulares: la crisis financiera acaecida en el período 1994-1996 y el manejo de la política cambiaria durante los años 1995-96. Ambos eventos sucedieron durante la vigencia de la Ley del Banco Central de Venezuela (BCV) reformada en 1992, mediante la cual se aspiró conferirle un grado significativo de autonomía frente a otras instituciones del Estado, particularmente el poder ejecutivo. Ello constituye un escenario natural para poner a prueba la autonomía institucional del BCV frente al gobierno y los diversos grupos a que está expuesta su actuación.

Research Network Working Paper, 443. Reinter states and geography in Mexico's development / Roberto Blum 

Público ISBD Título de serie: Research Network Working Paper, 443 Título : Reinter states and geography in Mexico's development Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: Roberto Blum ; Alberto Díaz Cayeros Editorial: Washington : Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo Fecha de publicación: 2002 Número de páginas: 69 p Idioma : Inglés Temas: BANCO INTERAMERICANO DE DESARROLLO ECONOMIA MEXICO MODELOS ECONOMETRICOS Clasificación: 338.9 Resumen: This paper provides a long-term historical and econometric account of the way in which geography has shaped development in the Mexican states. The emphasis is placed on the way in which the natural geography is reinforced by political decisions, which configure the human geography of population density, urbanization and public good provision, which in turn determine income, growth and poverty. The paper presents brief historical instances of how geography has determined prospects for development at different moments in Mexican history. This anecdotal discussion seeks to highlight the intrinsic link of geography with political institutions, which is central to understanding the economic effects of geography. The paper then presents a descriptive statistical and geographical profile of the relationship between geography and development in Mexico. The paper argues that the main channel through which geography affects development is political. The fragmentation of political jurisdictions in the form of municipal governments constitutes a proxy for man-made barriers to geographic mobility, which explain the interaction between geography, politics and development.

Research Network Working Paper, 432. Critical choices at a critical age / Carlos H. Filgueira 

Público ISBD Título de serie: Research Network Working Paper, 432 Título : Critical choices at a critical age : youth emancipation paths and school attaiment in Latin America Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: Carlos H. Filgueira ; Fernando Filgueira ; Alvaro Fuentes Editorial: Washington : Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo Fecha de publicación: 2001 Número de páginas: 49 p Idioma : Inglés Temas: ADOLESCENTES AMERICA LATINA BANCO INTERAMERICANO DE DESARROLLO ROLES SOCIEDAD Clasificación: 338.9 Resumen: This paper discusses how young people become adults in Latin America and how that process affects educational attainment. An examination of four countries at three levels of development shows that individuals' educational attainment is closely linked to the decisions that young people make regarding adult roles, here referred to as emancipation patterns. The paper documents differences among countries in the age at which young people start working, marry and leave the educational system. Factor and hazard analyses further show how these dimensions vary according to gender and income within countries and how they affect the chances that young people will remain in the educational system. Findings indicate that countries' development levels strongly affect the modal ages at which people become adults, hastening the process in less-developed countries and delaying it at higher stages of development. Second, within countries males and females present distinct risk factors regarding educational attainment; public roles (work) increase the risk of drop-out for men and private roles (marriage) increase this risk for women. In addition, and as expected, lower income groups are more at risk and present earlier adoption of adult values than higher income groups. The interrelation of income and gender operate differently in emancipation patterns and in how public and private adult roles affect the chances of remaining in the educational system. Consequently, in order to increase educational attainment the sequence and timing of adult role adoption have to be factored into policies.

Research Network Working Paper, 440. Social exclusion / George Gray Molina 

Público ISBD Título de serie: Research Network Working Paper, 440 Título : Social exclusion : residential segregation in Bolivian cities Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: George Gray Molina ; Ernesto Pérez de Rada ; Wilson Jiménez Editorial: Washington : Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo Fecha de publicación: 2002 Número de páginas: 31 p Idioma : Inglés Temas: BANCO INTERAMERICANO DE DESARROLLO BOLIVIA DISCRIMINACION RACIAL EDUCACION EXCLUSION SOCIAL Clasificación: 338.9 Resumen: This study analyzes the impact of ethnic-based residential segregation on income and education outcomes in Bolivian cities. Three results stand out in the analysis. First, we find significant and negative segregation effects on income generation in both across-city and intra-city comparisons. Second, we find individual and neighborhood-level interactions between ethnicity and segregation to be significantly and negatively correlated with income and schooling attainment. Finally, we find positive social capital effects for recent migrants and young workers and negative human capital effects for non-migrants and older workers. We attempt to control for selection biases with three instruments for residential segregation. We also include potential intergenerational determinants of income and schooling through expanded measures of parental human and social capital.

Research Network Working Paper, 441. State goverment bailouts in Brazil / Afonso S. Bevilaqua 

Público ISBD Título de serie: Research Network Working Paper, 441 Título : State goverment bailouts in Brazil Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: Afonso S. Bevilaqua Editorial: Washington : Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo Fecha de publicación: 2002 Número de páginas: 58 p Idioma : Inglés Temas: BANCO INTERAMERICANO DE DESARROLLO BRASIL FINANZAS PUBLICAS GOBIERNO Clasificación: 338.9 Resumen: As a result of the consolidation of democracy after the end of the military regime in the mid-1980s, Brazil has gone through a period of remarkable decentralization both in fiscal and political terms. The move towards decentralized management and control of public finances has been followed by a series of bailouts of state governments by the federal government. The lack of effective control on borrowing, coupled with reputational effects originating from these repeated bailout operations, reduced fiscal discipline and created an explosive accumulation of debts in Brazilian states during the last decade. The main purpose of this paper is to assess the determinants of state debt bailouts in Brazil and their relationship with states’ fiscal discipline during the 1990s. After providing a brief overview of intergovernmental fiscal relationships in the Brazilian economy, the paper describes state debt developments from the mid-1980s on, with special emphasis on the 1989, 1993 and 1997 state debt bailouts. The paper subsequently discusses the determinants of state debt bailouts in Brazil along the lines of a conceptual framework that recognizes that the essence of the bailout question is the issue of moral hazard, then presents empirical evidence that the occurrence of bailouts is associated with lower fiscal discipline in Brazilian states during the 1990s.

Research Network Working Paper, 415. A dynamic analysis of household decision-making / F. Alejandro Villagómez

Público ISBD Título de serie: Research Network Working Paper, 415 Título : A dynamic analysis of household decision-making : the mexican case Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: F. Alejandro Villagómez ; Andrés Zamudio Editorial: Washington : Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo Fecha de publicación: 2000 Número de páginas: 41 p Idioma : Inglés Temas: ASPECTOS ECONOMICOS ASPECTOS SOCIALES BANCO INTERAMERICANO DE DESARROLLO FAMILIA MERCADO DE TRABAJO MEXICO Clasificación: 338.9 Resumen: In this paper we analyze the evolution of family structure, human capital accumulation and returns, labor force participation and household consumption and savings decisions for Mexican households. We use as theoretical framework the Life Cycle Model. Our analysis is based on a synthetic panel technique as proposed by Browning, Deaton and Irish (1985) that allows us to track the average behavior of cohorts over successive surveys. Mexico went through important demographic and socioeconomic changes between the mid-1970s and mid-1980s, simultaneously with the government's implementation of different policies as well as some institutional changes, including an important birth control program and the expansion of educational opportunities. A reduction in fertility and an increase in the schooling of women are observed simultaneously with an increase in women's labor force participation. Most of this process is dominated by age and cohort effects. In terms of consumption-saving decisions, we find that this reduction in the number of children and the increase in women's labor force participation, reinforced by higher investment in education and higher rate of returns, have been correlated with higher saving rates for younger cohorts, particularly those where the head has higher educational levels.

Research Network Working Paper, 419. Job stability and labor mobility in urban Mexico / Angel Calderón-Madrid 

Público ISBD Título de serie: Research Network Working Paper, 419 Título : Job stability and labor mobility in urban Mexico : a study based on duration models and transition analysis Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: Angel Calderón-Madrid Editorial: Washington : Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo Fecha de publicación: 2000 Número de páginas: 60 p Idioma : Inglés Temas: ASPECTOS SOCIALES BANCO INTERAMERICANO DE DESARROLLO EMPLEO MERCADO DE TRABAJO MEXICO TRABAJO Clasificación: 338.9 Resumen: Can the relatively slow growth of the formal sector in Mexico during the 1990s be attributed to a rigid labor market and to low turnover rates? Is the increasing share of workers in the informal sector and of self-employed workers evidence of market segmentation, and hence a source of inequality and poverty? Or, as suggested by Maloney (1997), could the relatively large and symmetric flows of workers among all sectors (formal, informal, self-employed, unemployed, etc.) be more consistent with a well-integrated market where workers search across sectors for job opportunities than one where informal workers seek permanent status in the formal sector and stay until they retire?[1] [1] Maloney, (1997, p. 13).

Research Network Working Paper, 399. Subnational goverment bailouts in OECD countries / Jürgen Von Hagen 

Público ISBD Título de serie: Research Network Working Paper, 399 Título : Subnational goverment bailouts in OECD countries : four case studies Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: Jürgen Von Hagen Editorial: Washington : Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo Fecha de publicación: 2000 Número de páginas: 36 p Idioma : Inglés Temas: BANCO INTERAMERICANO DE DESARROLLO OCDE PAISES Clasificación: 338.9 Resumen: We present four case studies of bailouts of subnational governments in Australia, Germany, Italy and Sweden. The case studies show that bailouts can occur in a diverse set of institutions shaping the relations between central and subnational governments. Surpisingly, there is little evidence in favor of the 'too big to fail' argument explaining bailouts. In contrast, elements of political favoritism play some role in most cases. The cases also indicate the importance of properly designing principal-agent relationships in the decentralization of public finances. Constitutional mandates for uniform provision of public services and attempts by the central government to dominate subnational governments in matters of fiscal policy seem to be conducive to bailouts.

Research Network Working Paper, 404. Does geography explain differences in economic growth in Peru? / Javier Escobal 

Público ISBD Título de serie: Research Network Working Paper, 404 Título : Does geography explain differences in economic growth in Peru? Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: Javier Escobal ; Máximo Torero Editorial: Washington : Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo Fecha de publicación: 2000 Número de páginas: 64 p Idioma : Inglés Temas: BANCO INTERAMERICANO DE DESARROLLO CRECIMIENTO ECONOMICO GEOGRAFIA PERU Clasificación: 338.9 Resumen: In Peru, a country with an astonishing variety of different ecological areas, including 84 different climate zones and landscapes, with rainforests, high mountain ranges and dry deserts, the geographical context may not be all that matters, but it could be very significant in explaining regional variations in income and welfare. The major question this paper tries to answer is: what role do geographic variables, both natural and manmade, play in explaining per capita expenditure differentials across regions within Peru? How have these influences changed over time, through what channels have they been transmitted, and has access to private and public assets compensated for the effects of an adverse geography? We have shown that what seem to be sizable geographic differences in living standards in Peru can be almost fully explained when one takes into account the spatial concentration of households with readily observable non-geographic characteristics, in particular public and private assets. In other words, the same observationally equivalent household has a similar expenditure level in one place as another with different geographic characteristics such as altitude or temperature. This does not mean, however that geography is not important but that its influence on expenditure level and growth differential comes about through a spatially uneven provision of public infrastructure. Furthermore, when we measured the expected gain (or loss) in consumption from living in one geographic region (i.e., coast) as opposed to living in another (i.e., highlands), we found that most of the difference in log per-capita expenditure between the highland and the coast can be accounted for by the differences in infrastructure endowments and private assets. This could be an indication that the availability of infrastructure could be limited by the geography and therefore the more adverse geographic regions are the ones with less access to public infrastructure. It is important to note that there appear to be non-geographic, spatially correlated, omitted variables that need to be taken into account in our expenditure growth model. Therefore policy programs that use regional targeting do have a rationale even if geographic variables do not explain the bulk of the difference in regional growth, once we have taken into account differentials in access to private and public assets.

Research Network Working Paper, 408. Geography and economic development in Colombia / Fabio Sánchez Torres 

Público ISBD Título de serie: Research Network Working Paper, 408 Título : Geography and economic development in Colombia : a municipal approach Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: Fabio Sánchez Torres ; Jairo Núñez Méndez Editorial: Washington : Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo Fecha de publicación: 2000 Número de páginas: 78 p Idioma : Inglés Temas: BANCO INTERAMERICANO DE DESARROLLO COLOMBIA CRECIMIENTO ECONOMICO GEOGRAFIA MODELOS ECONOMETRICOS Clasificación: 338.9 Resumen: The object of this paper is to determine the relationship between geographical variables and income per capita, income per capita growth, population density and population growth in Colombian municipalities. In order to carry out econometric estimations at the municipal level we constructed a set of geographical variables based on soil, climate and road maps. We obtained some other geographical variables from the Colombian Institute of Geography (IGAC) homogeneous zone statistics. We found that geography affects both the level of municipal income per capita and its growth, being responsible for between 36% and 47% of the variance in municipal income per capita, and between 35% and 40% of the variance in municipal income per capita growth. It was established that, among the geographic variables, distance to domestic markets and soil type exercise the greatest influence on income per capita and its growth. Furthermore, geographical variables seem to be more significant for poor municipalities than rich ones. In poor municipalities, geography is responsible for between 25% and 32% of income per capita variance, and between 24% and 27% of income per capita growth variance. In contrast, in rich municipalities, geography is less important, being responsible for between 18% and 25% of income per capita variance and between 16% and 17% of income per capita growth variance. Thus, geography affects income and income growth via the productivity of the land, the availability of natural resources (such as water and rivers), the presence of tropical diseases, and agglomeration. Although geography influences the fate of a region, that is not the end of the story. Human factors, both public policy and private intervention, also play an important role. Education, infrastructure and more efficient public institutions can boost regional economic growth, and can help poor regions to overcome the poverty trap of low income and low economic growth.

Research Network Working Paper, 425. Household and individual decision-making over the life cycle / Jaime Saavedra 

Público ISBD Título de serie: Research Network Working Paper, 425 Título : Household and individual decision-making over the life cycle : a first look at evidence from Peruvian cohorts Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: Jaime Saavedra ; Martín Valdivia Editorial: Washington : Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo Fecha de publicación: 2000 Número de páginas: 52 p Idioma : Inglés Temas: ASPECTOS ECONOMICOS ASPECTOS SOCIALES BANCO INTERAMERICANO DE DESARROLLO FAMILIA PERU Clasificación: 338.9 Resumen: Peruvian society has achieved significant improvements in terms of lower fertility and mortality over the last forty years, which has brought down population growth rates to less than 1.2% a year. These improvements have led, on average, to a demographic transition with lower dependency ratios. In general, this transition increases the ability of the society to take proper care of its non-working population groups, children and the elderly, which may be reflected in changes in household structure. We identify stylized facts about the implications of these changes at the micro level through the use of pseudo-panels from household-level data for Peru. We calculate age, cohort and year effects for variables related to household structure, educational attainment, labor force participation and savings. We find some evidence that suggests differences, by educational level, in the Peruvian demographic transition. Household size is smaller for the younger cohorts in all households but those with less educated heads. We argue that these different profiles are explained by the fact that reductions in fertility have not reached the less educated. On the one hand, these differences in household size patterns are similar to those in the number of children. On the other hand, cohort patterns in family living arrangements—i.e., households with extended families—are similar across educational groups. However, family living arrangements change throughout the life cycle, in the sense that extended families are more common for households with very young (under 25) and elderly (over 60) heads. These changes in family arrangements over the life cycle add confusion to the meaning of headship, since in some cases the household reports as its head the older member and in other cases the main income earner. We also find that younger cohorts are more educated, are larger than older ones, and show lower returns to education. This is consistent with an increase in relative supply of educated workers that outpaces the increase in relative demand induced by economic growth, under the assumption of imperfect substitutability between equally educated workers of different cohorts. Finally, we show that intergenerational family arrangements over the life cycle limit the ability of the life cycle hypothesis (LCH) to explain household savings behavior. We find evidence that Peruvian households, especially the less educated, smooth consumption over the life cycle, not only through the typical saving-dissaving mechanism, but also by smoothing income. Net cash transfers, or living arrangements between parents and their offspring, play an important role in this income smoothing.

This paper reviews the Italian experience in the field, starting from the mid-1970s up to the present period, compares it with that of other countries, and uses it to comment upon the state of the literature. The paper argues that the soft budget constraint problem has been a rampant one in Italian local public finance, generating efficiency losses, lack of political accountability and undermining the soundness of public finances. The paper inquires into the causes and possible solutions to the problem, and in particular describes and comments upon the decentralization process of the 1990s. Finally, the Italian debate on fiscal federalism of the 1990s is also reviewed, arguing that some of the suggestions of this debate may be of interest more generally.

Público ISBD Título de serie: Research Network Working Paper, 428 Título : The importance of an effective legal system for credit markets : the case of Argentina Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: Marcela Cristini ; Ramiro Moya ; Andrew Powell Editorial: Washington : Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo Fecha de publicación: 2001 Número de páginas: 40 p Idioma : Inglés Temas: ARGENTINA BANCO INTERAMERICANO DE DESARROLLO CREDITO DERECHO DERECHO BANCARIO LEGISLACION Clasificación: 338.9 Resumen: Argentina is a federal country and hence, although laws are national and the central bank has national jurisdiction as a regulator of the financial system, the 24 Argentine provinces have independent judicial authority. In this paper we analyze how variations in the effectiveness of the legal system across the different provinces have affected the development of credit markets. We find strong results. Provinces with poor legal enforcement have less credit available to borrowers and banks’ non-performing loans are higher. We conclude that the effectiveness of the legal system remains a highly significant variable in determining the development of the Argentine credit market and that improvements in the legal system would result in a significant increase in the availability of credit.

Research Network Working Paper, 479. The impact of trade liberalization on employment, capital, and productivity dynamics / Carlos Casacuberta 

Público ISBD Título de serie: Research Network Working Paper, 479 Título : The impact of trade liberalization on employment, capital, and productivity dynamics : evidence from the Uruguayan manufacturing sector Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: Carlos Casacuberta ; Gabriela Fachola ; Néstor Gandelman Editorial: Washington : Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo Fecha de publicación: 2004 Número de páginas: 42 p Idioma : Inglés Temas: BANCO INTERAMERICANO DE DESARROLLO COMERCIO EMPLEO PRODUCCION INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTIVIDAD SECTOR MANUFACTURERO URUGUAY Clasificación: 338.9 Resumen: This paper studies the impact of trade liberalization on labor and capital gross flows and productivity in the Uruguayan manufacturing sector. Uruguay opened its economy in the presence of -at least initially- strong unions and structurally different industry concentration levels. Higher international exposure implied slightly higher job creation and an important increase in job and capital destruction. Unions were able to dampen this effect. Although not associated with higher creation rates, unions were effective in reducing job and capital destruction. Industry concentration also was found to mitigate the destruction of jobs but had no effect on job creation or capital dynamics. The changes in the use of labor and capital were accompanied by an increase in total factor productivity, especially in sectors where tariff reductions were larger and unions were not present. The authors found no evidence of varying productivity dynamics across different industry concentration levels.

Research Network Working Paper, 491. Effects of land titling on child health / Sebastián Galiani 

Público ISBD Título de serie: Research Network Working Paper, 491 Título : Effects of land titling on child health Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: Sebastián Galiani ; Ernesto Schargrodsky Editorial: Washington : Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo Fecha de publicación: 2004 Número de páginas: 34 p Idioma : Inglés Temas: BANCO INTERAMERICANO DE DESARROLLO HIGIENE NIÑOS PROPIEDAD SALUD SALUD INFANTIL TITULO Clasificación: 338.9 Resumen: This paper analyzes the impact of land titling on child health. The empirical evaluation of the effect of property rights typically suffers from selection problems. The paper addresses the selection issue by exploiting a natural experiment in the allocation of land titles. Twenty years ago, a group of squatters occupied a piece of privately owned land in a suburban area of Buenos Aires, Argentina. When the provincial Congress passed an expropriation law transferring the land from the former owners to the squatters, some of the former owners surrendered the land (and received compensation), while others decided to sue in the slow Argentine courts. These different decisions by the former owners generated an allocation of property rights that is exogenous to the characteristics of the squatters. This paper takes advantage of this natural experiment to evaluate the effect of the allocation of urban land property rights on child health. The results show that children in the titled parcels enjoy better nutrition and lower teenage pregnancy rates than those in the untitled parcels.

Research Network Working Paper, 409. Earnings ant the elusive dividends of health / William D. Savedoff 

Público ISBD Título de serie: Research Network Working Paper, 409 Título : Earnings ant the elusive dividends of health Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: William D. Savedoff ; T. Paul Schultz Editorial: Washington : Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo Fecha de publicación: 2000 Número de páginas: 34 p Idioma : Inglés Temas: BANCO INTERAMERICANO DE DESARROLLO MEDIO AMBIENTE SALUD VIVIENDA Clasificación: 338.9 Resumen: This paper looks at the relationship between health and income. After discussing the general context of health improvements in Latin America during the last few decades, the study elaborates on the interrelationships between the physical and social determinants of health, the complexities that arise in attributing earnings differentials to variations in health status, and the difficulties of accurately measuring health status. The paper presents a methodology for estimating the impact of health on earnings that addresses problems of measurement error and endogeneity, then summarizes the main findings of related studies undertaken as part of a larger project. These studies show that health status does have a significant, although modest, impact on earnings in four Latin American countries. Furthermore, environmental conditions (such as housing and sanitation) appear to have significant impacts on health status, compared to health services and public health facilities, which show little influence. The universally strong relationship between education and earnings is only modestly reduced by the inclusion of health status despite a general expectation that estimated returns to education were, in part, capturing the frequently unmeasured effects of health. By analyzing these relationships together-health determinants and the impact of health on earnings-we can assess the magnitude and importance of the 'human capital' component of health status, validate and compare a range of health indicators, and identify promising areas for public policy to invest in health improvements.

Research Network Working Paper, 386. Health, climate and development in Brazil / Elca Rosenberg 

Público ISBD Título de serie: Research Network Working Paper, 386 Título : Health, climate and development in Brazil : a cross-section analysis Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: Elca Rosenberg ; Denisard Alves ; Christopher Timmins ; Robert Evenson Editorial: Washington : Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo Fecha de publicación: 2000 Número de páginas: 63 p Idioma : Inglés Temas: BANCO INTERAMERICANO DE DESARROLLO BRASIL CAMBIO CLIMATICO DESARROLLO ECONOMETRIA MODELOS ECONOMETRICOS MORTALIDAD SALUD Clasificación: 338.9 Resumen: This study uses a cross-section of Brazilian municipal data in an attempt to estimate the impact of climate changes on the pattern of disease morbidity and infant mortality. Brazil is a country with climate conditions that range from tropical rain forest to temperate savanna regions in the southern part of the country. When one travels from north to south and west to east, and from sea level to altitudes of 1,300 meters, it is possible to examine the results of a stochastic process and a range of global warming experiences. Therefore looking at the relationship between health and climate in Brazil could help to explain the impact of climate change on the health of the population. The objective of this study is to understand the relationship between health and climate after taking into account the interaction between man and nature represented by the level of economic development and the effects of policies to create a more (or less) adequate life environment.
