EDUCACION SECUNDARIAClasificación: 338.9 Resumen: This paper proposes a new measure of social mobility. It is based on schooling gap regressions and uses the Fields decomposition to determine the importance of family background in explaining teenagers` schooling gaps. The method is applied to a sample of 18 Latin American household surveys conducted in the late 1990s. We find Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, and Peru among the countries with the highest social mobility, and Guatemala and Brazil among the least socially mobile countries. The results show that social mobility is positively correlated with GDP and general educational attainment, but not related to income inequality in any obvious way. Social mobility is generally higher in highly urbanized countries. The schooling gap regressions also reveal differences in opportunities within the family. Resources are clearly being diverted away from older siblings (especially sisters) towards younger siblings. In addition, it is an advantage to be born into the household relatively late in the lifecycle of the parents. For most countries, female teenagers were found to have significantly smaller schooling gaps than male teenagers. This did not make them significantly more mobile, however.

URUGUAYClasificación: 338.9 Resumen: This paper analyzes the reasons behind Central Government (CG) bailouts of Subnational Governments (SNGs) in the case of Uruguay. We argued that Uruguay represents a good example of the risks of fiscal decentralization, in the context of adjustment policies, and when SNGs' responsibilities and resources have not been carefully defined. We show that, in unitary countries where SNGs lack the opportunities to misbehave that they have in federal countries (e.g., public debt issuance, international borrowing), SNG officials find ways to finance deficits through non-compliance with politically contestable obligations. In particular, SNGs in Uruguay finance their deficits by accumulating debts with other government agencies and obtaining discretionary transfers from the CG. Through statistical analyses we show that debts and deficits are mainly related to vertical fiscal imbalances and economic conditions in the SN jurisdictions. Yet, the analysis of recent bailout episodes suggests that institutions and political factors play a role (i.e., they are important ex-post factors). This implies that bailouts have been more than simple compensations for structural imbalances, thus creating opportunities for strategic behavior on the part of SNG authorities (partly confirmed by the disparate fiscal performance of Montevideo vis-à-vis the rest of the country).

ENDEUDAMIENTOClasificación: 338.9 Resumen: Este estudio aborda el tema de la descentralización fiscal y las ocasiones por las que ocurre una situación de rescate financiero desde el nivel central del Estado hacia administraciones locales en Chile. No obstante un sistema de administración financiera que da garantías para una alta disciplina fiscal, en el caso de la administración de la educación municipal se han generado situaciones de endeudamiento encubierto reiterado por no pago de cotizaciones previsionales a los docentes en los que el nivel central del Estado ha debido intervenir con medidas de rescate. El estudio combina metodologías cuantitativas que recogen información financiera y de gestión educacional de las municipalidades, lo que permite realizar análisis estadísticos y econométricos, y metodologías cualitativas que indagan en el juicio y evaluación que tienen del proceso las autoridades del nivel central del Estado, representantes de la Asociación Chilena de Municipalidades y las municipalidades afectadas.

CREDITO COMERCIALClasificación: 338.9 Resumen: This paper provides evidence on what affects the marginal cost and availability of bank credit for firms in Argentina. We study in particular how banks use different pieces of private and public information to screen firms and overcome informational asymmetries in the credit market. While some private information, such as balance sheet data, is transferable, private information generated in relationships is not. To capture the closeness of bank relationships, we resort to the concentration of bank credit and the number of credit lines in a bank. We also consider public information available in the Central de Deudores. The cost of credit is measured using overdrafts, the most expensive line of credit, at the bank that charges the highest rate for overdrafts. We find that the cost of credit is smaller for a firm with a close relationship to the marginal bank. Firms with large assets, a high sales/assets ratio, and a low debt/assets ratio pay a lower interest rate at the margin. A good credit history (no debt arrears and no bounced checks) and collateral also reduce the marginal interest rate. The availability of credit is measured by unused credit lines as a proportion of total liabilities with the main bank. The availability of credit depends positively on a close relationship with the main bank. Large assets, a high return on assets, a high sales/assets ratio, a low debt/assets ratio, a good credit history, and collateral lead to higher credit availability. Our measure of unused credit lines is less ambiguous than traditional measures such as leverage, which may indicate financial distress rather than availability of credit.
