Agenda
El proximo Jueves 27 de febrero a las 10 AM en el Auditorio de Economia en el Campus Prosperina de la ESPOL presentan Santiago Bucaram y Mario Fernández dos papers titulados:
1) El Mundo le Fallo al Ecuador? El Caso de la INiciativa Yasuni ITT
2) Evaluacion de la Vulnerabilidad al Cambio Climatico en el Territorio Continental del Ecuador
La División de Comercio Internacional e Integración (DCII) de la Comisión Económica para América Latina y el Caribe (CEPAL) está ejecutando, en conjunto con las Comisiones Regionales de Asia y África, un proyecto de la cuenta del desarrollo de Naciones Unidas cuyo título es: «Enhancing the Contribution of Preferential Trade Agreements to Inclusive and Equitable Trade«.
En un escenario en el cual las negociaciones multilaterales en ronda de Doha progresan muy lentamente, negociar acuerdos comerciales justos y equitativos es más y más clave para los países para que el comercio pueda contribuir a un desarrollo que combine crecimiento con inclusión social. Por ende, el proyecto se propone como objetivo brindar apoyo a los países de la región para fortalecer su capacidad de evaluar los efectos sociales de los acuerdos de liberalización comercial, incluyendo la tasa de pobreza, la calidad del empleo sectorial, los salarios de diferentes tipos de trabajadores, el consumo, y otros.
Para alcanzar este objetivo el proyecto producirá recomendaciones de políticas basadas en estudios de casos detallados, con base empírica o teórica, con un enfoque en sectores económicos desagregados, pequeñas y medianas empresas, o grupos de población particulares, y las áreas de investigación deberán ser relevantes para la orientación inclusiva de las políticas públicas en el área de comercio.
El objetivo de esta convocatoria es invitar a presentar propuestas de investigación sobre estudios relacionados con el análisis de los efectos sociales de la política comercial en Ecuador. Entre otros, se consideran de particular interés propuestas de investigación que promuevan: i) la generación de nuevas bases de datos sobre pequeñas y medianas empresas, empleo, consumo, inversión, entre otros; ii) evaluaciones de impacto ex post de cambios en la política comercial en los últimos treinta y cinco años; iii) análisis sectoriales de efectos de políticas puntuales ex post o ex ante. Se citan como ejemplos: aplicación de salvaguardas cambiarias, salvaguardas por balanza de pagos, sustitución de importaciones, promoción de compras públicas nacionales, entre otras. La premisa principal es presentar un análisis inédito, original, claro, concreto y conciso -respaldado con datos- sobre temas de relevancia para el Ecuador relacionados con efectos en variables sociales de cambios en la política comercial.

BALAS 2016 Annual Conference.- From starting up to sustained growth: Opportunities and challenges faced by Latin American entrepreneurs
March 16 – 18, 2016
Guayaquil, Ecuador
Hosted by the ESPAE Graduate School of Management, ESPOL Guayaquil, Ecuador
Paper Submission Due Date: November 1, 2015
Latin America is among the world regions with the highest share of entrepreneurs, but this has made little impact on the persistent challenges of economic growth. Strategies are needed that ensure sustainability and scale so that entrepreneurship creates value and generates jobs.
One strategy that has proved successful in some areas is cooperation among entrepreneurs. Collective action can create an ecosystem that benefits the community as a whole and each enterprise individually. Partnerships among entrepreneurs, as a cooperative strategy, can be crucial in the survival rates of new firms by developing their individual strengths and maximizing their collective impact. Furthermore, these strategies can improve the size and employment generation of firms (i.e. becoming dynamic entrepreneurs), thus producing sustainable growth. We are particularly interested in papers that address the following issues:
– What are the external and internal factors that allow/facilitate scaling up successful business models in Latin America?
– What are the constraints faced by Latin American startups to scale up and grow?
– How can firms mitigate those constraints? What can governments do to minimize those constraints?
Papers in all areas of business and economics are invited. We especially invite those that explore the growth strategies of entrepreneurial ventures and their role in regional economic development. Click here for more information and to submit a paper.
