dc.description.abstract	Building on a two-dimensional discrete version of the standard urban economics land-use model, this paper presents a tractable urban land-use simulation model that is adapted to developing country cities, where formal and informal housing submarkets coexist. The dynamic closed-city framework simulates developers' construction decisions and heterogeneous households' housing and location choices at a distance from various employment subcenters, while accounting at the same time for land-use regulations, natural constraints, exogenous amenities, and dynamic scenarios of urban population growth and of State-driven subsidized housing. Designed and calibrated for Cape Town, the model is used to assess the impact of an urban growth boundary and of changes in the scale of subsidized housing schemes, informing a discussion of the potential trade-offs in policy objectives and of policy effectiveness.	en

Acceso a las finanzas para pequeños productores agropecuarios : lecciones de las experiencias de instituciones microfinancieras en América Latina

International Finance Corporation (2014)

Los productores agropecuarios en los países en desarrollo, especialmente en los países de ingreso bajo, se enfrentan a una serie de barreras, como la baja productividad, el acceso limitado a los mercados para sus productos, la falta de productos y servicios adecuados de gestión del riesgo y el acceso limitado a financiamiento. El objetivo del estudio de la Corporación Financiera Internacional (IFC) es identificar y divulgar las lecciones derivadas del trabajo de las instituciones microfinancieras (IMF) que han implementado operaciones para pequeños productores agropecuarios en América Latina y el Caribe (ALC), con el fin de promover la replicación y la expansión de estrategias que se puedan ampliar. Se eligió a la región de ALC para este estudio por su historial de innovación y liderazgo en la industria microfinanciera, la madurez de esta industria en muchos países de la región y el número de ejemplos de IMF que se han expandido más allá de los mercados urbanos para atender a más clientes rurales, en comparación con otras regiones. Mediante esta investigación, el IFC pretende entender ...

Trade Effects of Customs Reform : Evidence from Albania

Fernandes, Ana M.; Hillberry, Russell; Mendoza Alcántara, Alejandra (2015-03)

Despite enormous academic interest in international trade costs and keen policy interest in efforts to mitigate them, so far there is very little hard evidence on the impacts of trade facilitation efforts. This paper exploits a dramatic reduction in the rate of physical inspections by Albanian customs to estimate the effects of fewer inspection-related delays on the level and composition of imports. In this setting, the paper finds evidence that the expected median number of days spent in Albanian customs falls by 7 percent when the probability that a shipment is inspected falls from 50 percent or more to under 50 percent. In turn, this reduction in time produces a 7 percent increase in import value. The paper finds evidence that the reforms favored imports from preferential trading partners, especially the European Union. There are also reform-induced changes in the composition of trade, including increases in average quantities and unit prices, the number of shipments, and the number of importing firms per product-country pair and the number of countries per firm-product pair. A ...

An Investment Framework for Nutrition : Reaching the Global Targets for Stunting, Anemia, Breastfeeding, and Wasting

Shekar, Meera; Kakietek, Jakub; Dayton Eberwein, Julia; Walters, Dylan (2017-04-12)

The report estimates the costs, impacts and financing scenarios to achieve the World Health Assembly global nutrition targets for stunting, anemia in women, exclusive breastfeeding and the scaling up of the treatment of severe wasting among young children. To reach these four targets, the world needs $70 billion over 10 years to invest in high-impact nutrition-specific interventions. This investment would have enormous benefits: 65 million cases of stunting and 265 million cases of anemia in women would be prevented in 2025 as compared with the 2015 baseline. In addition, at least 91 million more children would be treated for severe wasting and 105 million additional babies would be exclusively breastfed during the first six months of life over 10 years. Altogether, achieving these targets would avert at least 3.7 million child deaths. Every dollar invested in this package of interventions would yield between $4 and $35 in economic returns, making investing in early nutrition one of the best value-for-money development actions. Although some of the targets—especially those for reducing ...
