Economists? Reloaded!

After the failed coup in Ecuador, I got the concern to see the economic development of some Latin American countries in recent years, were chaired by economists.

currently is an issue that has some relevance for example. in Brazil, because the candidate to succeed Lula and the Workers Party, Dilma Rousseff, is also professed Disenchantment and Science and won the first round, but not quite enough to prevent ballottage.

The first case bring on stage is that of Ernesto Zedillo Ponce de Leon in Mexico (ruled since late 1994 to late 2000). His government begins with a sharp depreciation of the peso of more than 110% (in the style Duhalde) and a deep crisis in 1995 (the Tequila Crisis).

Regarding unemployment, Mexico appears to be the darling of the last two decades with rates below 5% of the PEA (except for 1995 that exceeded mildly).

Between July 2001 and December 2006, Peru had as President Alejandro Toledo Manrique. Evolution unemployment in Peru is quite surprising: during the last 2 decades had rates below 10% of the EAP as well as Chile.

The trasandinos, when it comes to economic growth, was the country most regular of the sample. Remember that Ricardo Lagos (president from March 2000 to March 2006) is an economist and lawyer as well (would be the most completito of the sample). In the last two decades Chile showed a steady growth reaching an average rate of 5% per annum for 1990-2009, which in the past 10 years slowed going to be about 3.7% between 2000 and 2009.

However, in this first decade of S. XXI, the country grew stronger in the 5 that we consider was Peru at an average rate of 5.1%. What is Ecuador at an average rate of 4.5% annually. In this country, as we did in the previous post , president since 2006, Rafael Correa, is also Economist (next time I leave for a further analysis of data on its mandate).

In Argentina, Cachanosky opened the debate on the Presidents lawyers and their implication in economic terms. Orlando J. Ferreres had previously shown that the majority of Argentine presidents were lawyers and in no case was found occupying the armchair economist Rivadavia.

Cacha worried about the logical inconsistency implies that "all of whom are lawyers, the Argentine economic problem has been caused by the absence of an adequate institutional framework for economic growth" . K

Governments would contradict that assertion.

was still Grip: "It is curious that so many presidents have been lawyers, one of our fundamental problems is the low quality on respect for property rights, lack of stability in the rules of play and lack of limits on the Executive can not change those rules that should be stable over time. "

At first glance, Kirchner policies (with the initial impetus Duhalde) show a very important performance in terms of economic growth, combating unemployment and the abolition of poverty. However, the lack of a policy income working on a somewhat more distant horizon and based on a social pact, is undermining inflation through many of the achievements of his administration.

regard, Luciano Cohan few days ago showed us how it could have impacted inflation in poverty and destitution in our country after incorporation of the AUH (it says "could have" and no "hit" because the well-known problem with statistics officers).

But remember also that under the government of Nestor Kirchner, with the restructuring of debt, coupled with high economic growth, helped to substantially reduce the stock External Debt / GDP (in the case of graphic bn: Gross National Income) to be at a level more in line with those of other countries in the region.

the early 90's, Ecuador was the most indebted country with the outside measured in terms of its production. However, unlike the Argentine case, they started out of debt in the decade.

In short, you can not draw many conclusions. Of course it would be too foolish to believe that bear resemblance Economists and hence policies for them to be used where presidents have similar traits.

However, what is clear is that for a country to grow up really needs to be agreed among all players regardless of their professions.

Cacha went something like: " Perhaps we should explore the possibility of long-term public policies that allow us to grow based on interdisciplinary studies that lawyers, economists, philosophers, historians, political scientists and educators, cite some cases, can establish a consistent institutional order. "

But in the end, I am not referring only to production growth, but growth that allows people to stop being poor, they do not have to allow more than the poverty measure, not because bureaucrats decided to turn simply delete it from their fanciful measurements, but because before then we are building together a more just country. A country where being rich does not imply that many others have to be poor. Perhaps then we will not worry so much insecurity.

reflection I would like to share is that, while demagogues always remain shielded behind the poverty and marginalization, I have no other Advocates say that many economists have already demonstrated and as the uncompromising defense of private property, especially when it is excessive in amount and even in countries totally impoverished children starving in the streets asking for coins and scavenging to consume the leftovers of the wealthy, ends justify the unjustifiable: the condemnation of the market to kids that they happened to be born into poverty.

In my opinion, no longer needed from our government advocates the rights of the haves. Do not even need those who can show that respect for the rights of private property will bring to the long growth investment, improvements in employment, poverty reduction. And you know why? Not only because in the long run we are all dead, but is also an hijaputez not realize that the current condition, the consequences of what happens in the short term, may lead to the life of a lot of people is marked with fire by the greed of some and the long-term theories of others.

The solution seems so complex and simple: you simply need people to think how to get all be rich, but first achieved the sooner one is poor. And in this, no time to lose ...

Best Concealer From Everyday Minerals

Hello dear readers, we've had this very neglected area, but we are again returning to it to keep them aware of interesting and mostly new discoveries. We just leave our Expociencia 2010 here in the city of Xalapa, which we will be giving details in the next inning, they get a little talk about the winning projects at the Expo Science International and the National Expociencia!

Without further ado the I leave you with this note that I became very interesting because we are trying to copy what nature does to improve our processes alone, in this case the capture of sunlight.


One problem with the collection of sunlight is that the sun's rays can be very destructive to many materials. Sunlight causes a gradual deterioration of many systems developed to capture and use of that light. In contrast, plants have taken a very interesting strategy to solve this problem: Time and again break the molecules they use to capture light and remade from scratch, so that the basic structures to capture energy solar are, in fact, always new. A full sun on a summer day, each leaf of a tree recycles its proteins approximately every 45 minutes.

That process has now been imitated by the team of Michael Strano, professor of chemical engineering. These researchers have developed an innovative set of self-assembling molecules and capable of converting sunlight into electricity. These molecules are disassembled and then reassembled quickly, as many times as you want. To do this, just add or remove a solution especial.El system produced by Strano's team consists of seven different compounds, including carbon nanotubes phospholipids and proteins that constitute the reaction centers. Under the right conditions, the components spontaneously assemble into a structure capable of capturing the light to current conversion eléctrica.Cuando a surfactant, similar in its fundamentals to chemicals that BP has been used in the Gulf of Mexico to break oil is added to the mix, the seven components separate and form a solution with a consistency similar to a soup. When the researchers removed the surfactant by passing the solution through a special membrane, the compounds are reassembled spontaneously into a perfectly structured photocell and also rejuvenated.

Ecuador - When Democracy is what counts

is clear that greater importance may involve Democracy is its existence or its absence.
already showed us the experience that their presence may be the case not eat or be educated, or cure.Y many "or" more ...

In the following note from The Nation (the transcribed below) report some economic policy measures implemented by the Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa. Today there were some riots in Ecuador, which I would pass over.

In my opinion given to reflect again about the importance of quality of democracy and the importance of having presidents Economists.

In the coming days I will investigate a bit to put some facts into perspective. Meanwhile

me your opinion on Democracy and economists to Power!

Correa, axis of XXI century economic policy of Ecuador

Ecuadorian economic policy must be understood in close relationship with President Rafael Correa . It could not be differently, as Correa is a specialist in the field. In addition to being Minister of Economy, has a distinguished academic career. He graduated as an economist in 1987, at the Catholic University of Santiago de Guayaquil, earned a master at the Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium and a Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA, in 2001.

President is located within the trend known as XXI Century Socialism, a term promoted by the German sociologist Heinz Dieterich Steffan. Its regional ally, Hugo Chávez, has ironically defined as "the Chicago boy to the left."

As Ecuador's economy which is dollarized and is the eighth largest in Latin America, "in 2009, its GDP was U.S. $ 57,249 million. This year, growth was 0.36%. Meanwhile, per capita GDP was U.S. $ 4,201.

less than two months ago, the Central Bank revised the growth projection of the country's economy to 3.7% during 2010 from an earlier 6.8 percent, since the oil sector would decrease by 1 , 7 percent this year.
Among the main sectors in 2010 will grow the agriculture, manufacturing and construction, said the document.

Ecuador belonging to the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). While it is the smallest member of the group, oil accounts for 40% of exports and contributes to maintaining a positive trade balance.

Recently, the Central Bank reported an increase from 64% in exports in the first six months of the year. During the first half of 2010, exported 5.414 billion dollars. In the same period last year the figure was of 3330 million.

extreme poverty rate has declined significantly between 1999 and 2010. In 2001 was estimated at 40% of the population, while in 2010 the figure dropped to 16.5% of the total population.

The unemployment rate in the first half of the year stood at 7.7%, according to official figures. This showed a fall of 0.6 points over the same period in 2009.

Model. After his resounding victory in the 2009 elections, with which he began his second term, Correa called to deepen his socialist project and advance the so-called "citizens' revolution."

"Changes are possible, but outside of the capitalist system within the new socialism," Correa said. There, said that his government would continue pushing for a financial order outside the International Monetary Fund and World Bank.

The dispute was not new: in 2007, Correa had expelled the World Bank's envoy in the country, and promoted a "regional rebellion" against foreign credit agencies. In those days, with that action and terminating the relationship with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the president settled accounts with which he calls "bureaucracy undesirable."
The Fund dismissed him with a check for $ 11.4 million of debt outstanding and WB with a bang because of the "blackmail" which he said, endured by the body being Finance Minister in 2005.
Last April, he threatened to expropriate oil: tightened the siege imposed on the foreign oil companies to announce sending a bill to the National Assembly to expropriate the fields leased to these companies if they refuse to sign new contracts with the State in the short term. So
ratified and hardened their stance against transnational corporations within its project to regain full control on oil production.

"Since I ran out of patience on this, are playing with us the oil, there will be very important actions in the coming weeks," then the president had said.

oil exploitation in Ecuador (fifth largest on the continent) down from 536,000 bpd in 2006 to 466,000 bpd in the first two months of 2010. In 2009, foreign oil accounted for 42 percent of global production of 486,000 barrels per day.

Meanwhile, last August, the Ecuadorian government announced the expropriation of some 2.5 million hectares of land considered unproductive and concentrated in few hands.

Policy in an unstable country. Correa was in 2009, the president re-elected in the recent history of Ecuador, a country that was until recently the most unstable in the region, with seven presidents in a decade (1997-2006), three of them dismissed amid popular revolts.

social investment, economic policy nationalist, anti-American position, a sharp confrontation with neoliberalism (the "long and sad neoliberal night" as he calls the nineties) and a fervor for Latin American integration marked its first year government.

In his first government, Correa's popularity allowed him to take controversial decisions, such as declaring a moratorium of nearly 32% of external debt, estimated at 10,090 million dollars, considering it "illegal and illegitimate."

had also a strong spending on social programs, subsidies and investment in education and health. According to official data, until last year invested 2.5 billion dollars in schools, hospitals, housing and infrastructure.
