Ítem Korean soap operas in Latin America a cultural studies approach(Universidad EAFIT, 2015-06-10) Iadevito, Paula; Bavoleo, Bárbara; IIGG–UBA/ CONICET ArgentinaÍtem Saving Rates in Latin America: A Neoclassical Perspective(Universidad EAFIT, 2019-07-03) Fernández, Andrés; Ayse, Imrohoro˘glu; Tamayo, Cesar E; ctamayot@eafit.edu.coThis paper examines the time path of saving rates between 1970 and 2010 in Chile, Colombia, and Mexico through the lens of the neoclassical growth model. The findings indicate that two factors, the growth rate of TFP and fiscal policy, are able to account for some of the major fluctuations in saving rates observed during this period. In particular, we find that the model accounts for the low saving rates in Chile compared to Colombia until the late 1980s and the reversal in the saving rates thereafter. Also, a combination of high TFP growth and tax reforms that substantially reduced capital taxation seems to be responsible for the impressive increase in Chile’s saving rate in mid 1980s.Ítem Technological Structure of Industrial Exports in Latin America (1990-2010)(Universidad EAFIT, 31/05/2013) Enrique Gilles; Danilo Torres Reina; Universidad Sergio ArboledaÍtem Volunteering in Latin America: an approach to the differences between countries(Universidad EAFIT, 2019-12-06) López Concepción, Arelys; Gil Lacruz, Ana Isabel; Saz, Isabel; Universidad de Sancti Spíritus “José Martí Pérez”, Cuba; Universidad de Zaragoza, EspañaVolunteering is a vehicle for communitarian participation in a way that enriches the whole society and volunteers. The World Value Survey data (WVS, 2010- 2014) show that in Latin America the percentage of volunteers varies significantly from one country to another, such that in Colombia 65% carry out volunteer activities, compared to 23% of Ecuador. While volunteering has been widely studied in AngloSaxon and European countries, there are hardly any studies for Latin America. The main contribution of this work lies precisely in expanding the knowledge of the factors that influence the decision to volunteer in the different countries of Latin America. The WVS data allow us to carry out an analysis that controls two levels of aggregation: individual and country. Our results highlight the positive relationship between income and education with affiliation and participation in the third sector. Since it is found that volunteering is a tool to improve the human capital and social capital of citizens, it would be desirable to establish public interventions that encourage volunteering among people with fewer resources or at risk of exclusion.
