Regímenes Especiales De Importación En El Paraguay, Francisco Carlos Ruiz Diaz Sep 2006

Regímenes Especiales De Importación En El Paraguay, Francisco Carlos Ruiz Diaz

Francisco Carlos Ruiz Diaz

La aplicación de los Regímenes Especiales de Importación no armonizados, las listas de excepción al AEC y los acuerdos comerciales de preferencias arancelarias afectan la libre circulación de mercancías en el MERCOSUR e impiden avanzar hacia la consolidación institucional de la Unión Aduanera. Sin embargo, el hecho de que estos mecanismos sigan teniendo un perfil activo en propósitos de desarrollo productivo y de fomento a las exportaciones en cada uno de los países, revela las preferencias de los miembros por seguir manejando con cierta autonomía su propia Política Comercial Externa. El caso de Paraguay es el más significativo en términos …


Assessment Of Capital Returns And Economics Of Investment In Khartoum Stock Exchange Market, Professor Issam A.W. Mohamed Aug 2006

Assessment Of Capital Returns And Economics Of Investment In Khartoum Stock Exchange Market, Professor Issam A.W. Mohamed

Professor Issam A.W. Mohamed

Financial markets in a country are parts of modern economic systems and have definite impacts of its economic performance. However, in an underdeveloped economic structure there can be other targets o hidden activities for them. Such assumptions are provoked under totalitarian economic systems that impose cartel monopolies in a autocratic compradorism that own most of the companies and their stocks. The institutional structure of the prevailing economic system avails negative cost/benefits dealings to continue unaffected as the main profits have to come from other resources, e.g., money laundry.

Harnessing Growth Spillovers For Rural Development: The Effects Of Regional Spatial Structure, Edward Feser, Andrew Isserman Jan 2006

Harnessing Growth Spillovers For Rural Development: The Effects Of Regional Spatial Structure, Edward Feser, Andrew Isserman

Edward J Feser

Many rural development strategies seek to leverage urban to-rural growth spillovers. This paper concludes that their success depends on the spatial structure surrounding the target rural counties. We develop a county-level spatial growth model to identify the positive spread and negative backwash effects of urban to rural spillovers in the lower 48 states over the 1990-2000 period. Instead of the conventional, fallacious substitution of metropolitan and nonmetropolitan for urban and rural, we consider the urban and rural character of each county. Mostcounties have both urban and rural populations, and we classify each as urban, mixed urban, or rural depending on …
