This paper aims to determine whether the different forms of financing the budget deficits of the Chilean, Mexican and Colombian governments have effects on inflation. For that purpose, the variables financing the fiscal deficit are described, such as seigniorage, internal and external financing, and their respective relationship to inflation; furthermore, an econometric model was estimated using the panel data methodology. The results allow us to infer that seigniorage, internal and external financing of fiscal deficit does not generate inflation in the three economies. In this sense, it can be argued that the priority of the monetary policy of the central banks of the countries in question is to achieve and maintain low inflation rates, which prevents their populations from losing purchasing power over time.

This article presents a balance of the Colombian-Venezuelan trade in the period 1990 -2006. It highlights that integration increased the flows of manufacture,investments and jobs for both countries, that is, thatthe economic agenda dominated the agitated political relationships. The achievements of the economic integration are in danger due to Venezuela resignation to the Andean Commonwealth [Spanish AcronymCAN] in April 2006. In spite of the symptoms of privatedis intermediation, the trade continues growing as consequence of the favourable economic situation in both countries. The resignation of Venezuela will only bring problems in the short term to the Colombian-Venezuelan trade as the neighbour country doesn’t respect the article 135 of the Cartagena Agreement; in the long term the exchange could be more promissory if both countries re-establish or create new commercial agreements in the Andean or bilateral framework.

El estudio pretende generar un aporte a la discusión de las variables económicas que determinan la distribución funcional del ingreso –la cual se mide como la participación de los salarios en el valor agregado– en los tres principales sectores de Colombia, a partir de la postura teórica de la escuela Post-Keynesiana. Dicha escuela arguye que esta medida de distribución del ingreso puede presentar una mejor aproximación de medición que las medidas de distribución tradicionales como el Gini, ya que la remuneración a los salarios y el valor agregado se obtendrían de la información de los contribuyentes y no de encuestas como el Gini. Por consiguiente, se presenta un análisis sectorial de la distribución funcional del ingreso y se estima un modelo de datos de panel para el periodo 2000-2020. Los resultados permiten inferir que la distribución funcional del ingreso se explica y, de hecho, mejora ante un incremento en el producto, en la balanza comercial, en los impuestos y en la inversión; sin embargo, el efecto individual de cada una de estas variables sobre la distribución es inelástico. De esta manera, se concluye que el postulado Post-Keynesiano se cumple parcialmente en Colombia en el periodo de estudio.

This document intends to establish the possible changes in the factors that determine labor participation in Bogotá, making a comparative analysis for the years 2005 and 2015. For this, a description was made of the main indicators of the labor market of Bogota, such as population, Population of working age, economically active population, employed, unemployed, objective underemployment and inactive population; The labor force participation determinants for the two years of study were estimated econometrically using Logit models. The results show that the determinants that suffer changes in labor participation from one year to another are married, widowed and single; Also highlighting the reduction of the probability of students and women not to participate in the workforce.

The Economic and Development Growth are two of the principal goals for policy makers in Latin America to reach the reduction in poverty and income distribution indicators. To reach these goals is not an easy work and it requires the implementation of different structural reforms from which can be hightlighted the macroeconomic and labor reforms. These have particular characteristics and have to be applied together in all dimensions to reach the goals in terms to reduce the poverty and reach better income distribution indicators.

The authorities responsible for economic and social policy in Latin American countries have been making efforts around the theme of improving the living conditions of the population, by generating a sustained per capita income, which will lead to better development indicators economic and reduce poverty levels in the region. This document evidence through descriptive statistical methodology that the main variables of economic development are influenced by per capita GDP in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Mexico and Peru. According to empirical evidence we can conclude that Argentina is the country that more investment made in education, social security and health, because their economic growth rates have been stable over time, while Bolivia is the country has the lowest social public investment, mainly due to its low economic performance.

<p>The purpose of the document is to determine the macroeconomic factors that influence the functional distribution of income in the primary, secondary and tertiary sectors of the Colombian economy between the years 2000 and 2020. The approach that has been given to this study is based in the Post-Keynesian theoretical positions of Kalecki (1956), Kregel (1978), Sraffa (1960), and Rochon and Setterfield (2007), however, a theoretical review of income distribution is presented from the different schools of economic thought. Additionally, a sectoral characterization of some effective demand variables is presented and an econometric model is estimated for each economic sector. From the results generated in this document, it is evident that for each of the three sectors, tax collection and private investment improve the functional distribution of income; while the inflation rate, the unemployment rate and the placement interest rate have a negative effect on the functional distribution of income.</p>

This study of labor supply, proposes, from a theoretical perspective, identifying the determinants of labor force participation that explain the increased supply of Colombian labor market for different population groups that make up the workforce, It also intends, as an econometric exercise, to determine the influence of a set of variables on the probability of participation of different population groups in the labor market. This study aims to identify structural changes in the determinants of labor participation in Colombia from 1984 to 2008, among different population groups, which contribute to the generation of public employment policies. The estimated probability functions of labor participation will be based on the design of a probit type econometric model of binary choice. According to the results obtained, we can say that the overall participation rate in the seven major metropolitan areas in Colombia is affected positively by the economic growth rate and the head of household, which would lead to increase the supply of work and increase people's participation in the labor market with better job opportunities and wages.
