Ítem Análisis sectorial del consumo de la electricidad durante la pandemia – COVID-19: evidencia para los mercados no regulado y regulado en Colombia(Universidad EAFIT, 2022-03-09) García Rendón, John; Rey Londoño, Felipe; Arango Restrepo, Luis José; Bohórquez Correa, Santiago; Universidad EAFIT; Asimetrix S.A.S.; Agricapital S.A.S; Universidad EAFITIn this investigation, through a model of seemingly unrelated equations, we conduct a sectoral analysis of electricity consumption during the pandemic - COVID-19 for the main sectors that make up the Unregulated and Regulated markets in Colombia. Using daily data for the unregulated market and monthly data for the regulated market between February 2015 and May 2021, we find statistically significant evidence of a recomposition in electricity consumption with the pandemic from the mandatory preventive confinement, established by Decree 457 of 2020, the average consumption in the residential sector increased by 16.9%, since they were carrying out their work from their residences. On the contrary, those sectors of the unregulated market subject to quarantines presented a fall. However, in sectors that were not subjected to mandatory preventive isolation, since they were necessary to satisfy the supply of basic services such as health, food (agriculture) and water supply, their coefficients for strict confinement were not statistically significant and presented an increase in electricity consumption.Ítem Approach to the legal-criminal right of public health in Colombia(Universidad EAFIT, 2021-12-17) Díaz Arana, Andrés Felipe; Universidad de los AndesRecently, the discussion on the concept and specific scope of the legal-criminal good protected by Title XIII of the Colombian Penal Code has gained renewed interest. This article analyzes the issue in the international order, the evolution of national legislation in this regard is reviewed, the main positions adopted by jurisprudence and doctrine are exposed and, finally, a position is adopted on the matter.Ítem Are Pandemics Bad for Business? Evidence From the US COVID-19 Experience(Universidad EAFIT, 2021) Escobar, Maria AntoniaÍtem COVID-19: ¿Escondernos o enfrentarlo?(Universidad EAFIT, 2020-08-12) Villanueva-Mejía, Diego F.; Universidad EAFITÍtem Criminal governance in times of crisis: Evidence from the COVID-19 outbreak in Rio de Janeiro(Universidad EAFIT, 2024-01) Lessing, Benjamin; Monteiro, Joana; Tobón, Santiago; University of Chicago; Fundacao Getulio Vargas; Universidad EAFITIn urban peripheries worldwide, and especially in Latin America, criminal groups use coercive power to impose rules on and provide order to civilians. The reasons why gangs govern in particular ways, or at all, are poorly understood. Many charge taxes in exchange for governance provision—suggesting they act as stationary bandits— but some do not. Many control retail drug markets, but some also earn rents from licit goods and services like cooking gas and internet. During the COVID-19 crisis, anecdotes of gangs enforcing lockdowns and providing health-related public goods suggested they seized opportunities to consolidate their authority and perceived legitimacy. We present novel, systematic data on criminal governance practices in Rio de Janeiro, whose gangs are notoriously militarized, persistent, and—usefully, from our perspective—diverse. While many belong to prison-based drug syndicates, others are police-linked groups known as mil´ıcias. We surveyed residents from almost 200 favelas about local gangs’ type, economic and governance activities, taxation, and pandemic response. Contrary to expectations, we find that drug gangs and mil´ıcias alike earn rents from a range of licit products and services, enjoy similarly high levels of perceived legitimacy, and largely avoided involvement in pandemic response. Yet milicias are far more likely to tax, and seldom sell drugs. Our findings suggest that gangs’ core motives are economic rather than political, that they strategically distinguish between direct taxation and extracting monopoly rents from control over utilities.Ítem El cuidado, en el corazón de la ciencia(Universidad EAFIT, 2021-12-06) Luján Sáenz, Juan Carlos; ColaboradorA pandemic world, crestfallen and full of fear, found an ally in science to help it get out of such a crisis. Focused on caring for and understanding this moment, scientists and thinkers have contributed their knowledge in the search for solutions. The challenge for humanity? Stop thinking in the short term.Ítem Determining the banking solvency risk in times of COVID-19 through Gram-Charlier expansions(Universidad EAFIT, 2021-09-20) Rendón, Juan F.; Cortés, Lina M.; Perote, Javier; Instituto Tecnológico Metropolitano - ITM; Universidad EAFIT; University of SalamancaThis paper proposes risk measures for bank solvency by accurately measuring the solvency risk components. These measures consider the minimum regulatory solvency levels and banks’ risk appetite level and risk profile. For this purpose, we used semi-nonparametric statistics to model stylized facts of the risk distribution, particularly the high-order moments of the Solvency Decline Rate, the Tier Decline Rate, and the Portfolio Growth Rate variables. Additionally, these risk measures can be used to measure the risk of regulatory intervention and to define policies that establish the minimum solvency levels required by banking regulators by estimating the Quantile Risk Metrics. As a case study, we collected data on the solvency indicators of the Colombian banking system, which adapts to the standards established by the Basel Committee. According to the results, the liquidity injection measures implemented in response to the needs generated by the COVID-19 pandemic led to an increase in the levels of the risk portfolio in the Colombian banking system, which exceeded the 99th percentile of the probability distribution of monthly portfolio value changes.Ítem Estudio de modelos predictivos de insolvencia en el sector de la construcción en Colombia en los periodos pre pandemia y pos pandemia del COVID-19(Universidad EAFIT, 2023) García Villega, Fernando Arturo; Restrepo Tobón, Diego AlexanderThe purpose of this study is to find the relationship between financial health and the capacity to endure over time COVID-19 in the companies of the macro construction sector in Colombia. The information used for this study comes from the companies that have filed a request to be covered by the Corporate Insolvency Law (Law 1116 in Colombia) from 2020-2022. This data set is compared with companies that are in regular operation at the date of the study, selecting those that have submitted financial information to the SuperSociedades de Colombia (Colombian Superintendence of Corporations). The following insolvency predictive models were used: Z-Score, Logit, and Probit. Different financial and operational performance ratios recommended by the literature were selected, and it was found that most of these failed companies presented economic problems before the pandemic. Additionally, it has been concluded that the Logit model was the one that presented the best predictive power for the macro construction sector in Colombia during the pandemic and post-pandemic period.Ítem The Evolution of Citizen Security in Colombia in Times of COVID-19(EAFIT University - Inter-American Development Bank, 2021-10-20) Alvarado, Nathalie; Norza, Ervyn; Perez-Vincent, Santiago M.; Tobón Zapata, Santiago; Vanegas-Arias, Martín; Inter-American Development Bank; National Police of Colombia; Inter-American Development Bank; EAFIT University; EAFIT UniversityThis technical note examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on crime and law enforcement dynamics in Colombia. The analysis uses administrative data on police reports and arrests for different types of offenses. It applies a “difference-in-differences” model, comparing the number of reports and arrests during the quarantine against their pre-quarantine trend. The results show a marked decline in homicides, motor vehicle theft, and other theft types in the initial weeks of the quarantine. The strong initial declines attenuated over time. The results reveal differences in crime dynamics between different regions of the country. The analysis also shows how COVID-19 modified police activity: arrests for offenses such as homicide and robbery decreased, and arrests due to threats to public health increased. This article contributes to a growing number of studies on the pandemic’s social impact and provides data and tools to inform citizen security and criminal justice policies.Ítem Gobernanza metropolitana en tiempos de pandemia : un análisis de la implementación de los “toques de queda” en el Área Metropolitana del Valle de Aburrá (2020-2021)(Universidad EAFIT, 2021) Pérez Hincapié, María Isabel; Londoño Mejía, Jorge Alberto; Zapata Tamayo, PabloÍtem El impacto del Covid -19 en el sector e-commerce(Universidad EAFIT, 2021) Abad Vega, Nicolás; Echavarría López, Marcela Isabel; Gaitán Riaño, Sandra ConstanzaThe COVID-19 pandemic was the determining factor in the world’s economy in 2020. Because of the uncertainty caused and the imposed measures by different governments to prevent the spread of the virus, many people lost their jobs and many companies had to close, affecting supply and demand worldwide. Equity markets also decreased their returns and volatility increased dramatically. However, there was one sector that benefited from the pandemic, which was the e-commerce sector. COVID-19 accelerated society’s digital adoption, the internet was the element that allowed people to stay connected and acquire the products they needed without having to leave home. This work uses an econometric model to explain the impact of the pandemic on the price of the most representative companies in the e-commerce sector. The results show that, although the death toll negatively affects the S&P500, the most representative companies in this sector saw their share prices rise as the death toll from COVID-19 rose.Ítem Impacto del Covid-19 sobre el crédito para la compra de vivienda nueva no VIS en Colombia(Universidad EAFIT, 2022) Álvarez Zuluaga, Daniela; Betancur Carvajal, Catalina; García Rendón, John JairoÍtem Impacto del COVID-19 sobre la demanda y oferta de vivienda nueva No VIS en Colombia(Universidad EAFIT, 2022-03-09) Álvarez Zuluaga, Daniela; Betancur Carvajal, Catalina; García Rendón, John; Universidad EAFIT; Universidad EAFIT; Universidad EAFITIn this paper we examine the impact of COVID-19 on the demand and supply of new No VIS housing in Colombia. Using a model of Seemingly Unrelated Regression, we find that COVID-19, measured through the number of infections, and the interest rate in UVR present an inverse relationship with the No Vis new housing supply, decreasing the quantities offered during the most critical months of the pandemic. In addition, the price index for new housing complies with the law of supply, which can be validated with what has been observed in 2021 regarding the growth in the launch of new real estate projects, at the same time that prices have also been higher, justified, in part, by the increase in costs as a result of the pandemic.Ítem Initial responses to COVID-19 by four Central American governments(Universidad EAFIT, 2021-12) Díaz-González, José AndrésThe article reviews the initial responses to the Covid-19 pandemic of Guatemala, El Salvador, Costa Rica, and Panama. Using official documents, the characteristics of the responses that these governments execute during the first semester of 2020 are identified and compared. It is concluded that, although governments mainly develop biosafety measures, there are differences in the strategies adopted, possibly motivated by the prevailing social, political, and economic characteristics in those countries. The governments of these countries seem to be influenced to follow the recommendations issued by international organizations by the lack of information about the COVID-19 pandemic, without interest to review these measures according to the characteristics of their countries.Ítem Investigaciones de EAFIT para enfrentar el COVID-19(Universidad EAFIT, 2020-07-17) Agencia de noticias EAFIT; Universidad EAFITÍtem Marco normativo de la ciencia, tecnología e innovación como oportunidad para el Estado colombiano en la atención de la contingencia y las nuevas realidades a raíz de la COVID-19(Universidad EAFIT, 2020) Barguil Fernández, Maria Camila; Barguil Fernández, María Camila; Ortega Jaramillo, MauricioThis investigation seeks to identify the opportunities offered by the regulatory framework of science, technology and innovation, for the Colombian State, in the attention of the economic and social coyuncture caused by COVID-19, and its effects in the medium and long term, in a scenario of new realities. Therefore, to achieve the objective of this investigation, will be initially approach ¿What is COVID-19? and the impact it has generated around the world, and specifically, in Colombia. Subsequently, will be exposed, through a constitutional and legal analysis, some of the measures adopted by the National Government to deal the crisis, the formalities, limits, prohibitions and controls that faces, within the framework of the state of exception, and the actions of certain decentralized entities of the Executive Branch have taken in this juncture. Afterwards, will be proceed to identify the opportunities of the regulatory framework of science, technology and innovation, in Colombia, and how, thanks to these tools, currently, two success cases have positioned at the local level, Ruta N and the CUEE Antioquia, by the implementation of high impacts solutions for the current problem. This, without ignoring that to make use of the opportunities of this regulatory framework, the State will need to face some challenges that will be enunciated in this study.Ítem Ocho líneas de investigación en salud mental emergentes con la pandemia(Universidad EAFIT, 2021-12-06) Reyes Torres, María Dilia Rosa Reyes; ColaboradoraCOVID-19 is not only, in itself, an object of investigation. It also brought to the table topics that have been little explored and even little thought about, especially in mental health. His arrival reordered and modified the science agenda worldwide and opened the door to analysis from the social sciences as well. For this reason, studies have emerged that cover topics related to behavioral sciences, new ways of establishing interpersonal relationships and impacts on cognitive and professional development, among others. In addition, they take into account segmentations such as, for example, population groups, countries and gender.Ítem Percepción de las docentes de acompañamiento pedagógico presencial en casa sobre conductas relacionadas con el apego y la regulación emocional de un grupo de niños entre 2 y 4 años en época de contingencia sanitaria por Covid-19(Universidad EAFIT, 2020) Rojas Loaiza, Natalia; Arango Montoya, Manuela; Vásquez Ochoa, Andrés MiguelÍtem Punitivismo, legislación de urgencia y pandemia en Uruguay: Los atajos del autoritarismo contra el estado de derecho(Universidad EAFIT, 2021-06-30) Silva Forné, Diego; Universidad de la República, UruguayA través de un procedimiento legislativo anómalo y en medio de una emergencia sanitaria, se aprobó en Uruguay una extensa ley conteniendo numerosas disposiciones de corte represivo, con impacto sobre todo el sistema penal. Se ponen en juego diversos derechos fundamentales y garantías, se incrementan las potestades del aparato policial y se abre la puerta a un crecimiento de la población penitenciaria sin precedentes, incurriendo a su vez en diversas inconstitucionalidades de fondo y de forma, socavando el Estado de Derecho. El análisis devela un caso de desnaturalización de institutos constitucionales -práctica que, a través de distintas formas, se ha extendido en nuestro Continente- utilizado aquí con fines punitivistas.Ítem ¿Qué pasa con la educación durante una pandemia? : evidencia de un caso colombiano(Universidad EAFIT, 2020) Estrada Barreto, Pablo Andrés; Hincapié Acosta, Juan Sebastián; Tobón Zapata, Santiago
