Victoria Murillo ; Mariano Tommasi ; Lucas Ronconi ; Juan Sanguinetti Editorial: Washington : Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo Fecha de publicación: 2002 Número de páginas: 51 p Idioma : Inglés Temas: AMERICA LATINA ARGENTINA ASPECTOS ECONOMICOS BANCO INTERAMERICANO DE DESARROLLO EDUCACION FORMACION DOCENTE SINDICATOS Clasificación: 338.9 Resumen: This paper considers the effects of trade unions on the education sector in Argentina. We have provided a substantial amount of new information and we have found useful preliminary results on some of the channels of union influence on the performance of this crucial sector. We find that those provinces where teacher unionism is fragmented, where union density is higher and where political relations with the governor are more conflictual, have more strikes (fewer class days). Based on estimates of education production functions both in this paper and elsewhere, we expect this to translate into lower student performance. We then find a number of weak conclusions related to the impact that unions have on several variables that affect students’ performance (i.e., teachers’ tenure, job satisfaction, class size, education budget and teachers’ salaries). Reviewing these results, we conclude that the impact of unions on students’ performance depends on the channel and kind of political market where unions operate, but not on the existence of unions per se.

Research Network Working Paper, 467. Decentralization, fiscal discipline in sub-national governments and the bailout problem / Juan Pablo Nicolini 

Público ISBD Título de serie: Research Network Working Paper, 467 Título : Decentralization, fiscal discipline in sub-national governments and the bailout problem : the case of Argentina Tipo de documento: texto impreso Autores: Juan Pablo Nicolini ; Josefina Posadas ; Juan Sanguinetti ; Pablo Sanguinetti ; Mariano Tommasi Editorial: Washington : Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo Fecha de publicación: 2002 Número de páginas: 60 p Idioma : Inglés Temas: ARGENTINA ASPECTOS FINANCIEROS ASPECTOS FISCALES BANCO INTERAMERICANO DE DESARROLLO DESCENTRALIZACION GOBIERNO GOBIERNO LOCAL Clasificación: 338.9 Resumen: This paper examines the determinants of fiscal performance of sub-national governments in Argentina. This will be done through analysis and examination of the overall regime of incentives, through an analysis of salient episodes of 'bailout' and through cross-sectional empirical analysis. The bailout episodes to be analyzed will include mostly those that occurred in the relationship between the national and provincial governments. Of primary interest will be the process that caused the crises and how both the provinces and the federal government reacted, with an emphasis on the incentives and constraints each faced. The paper will also try to explain the actual form that the bailout takes. The empirical analysis will emphasize those determinants of bailout related to the institutional design of intergovernmental fiscal institutions. Thus, the study will have direct implications regarding the strengths and weaknesses of the current institutional framework in generating sound fiscal behavior by the different levels of government.
