Modelo conceptual sobre la participación de la familia en la escuela: un estudio cualitativo en cuatro localidades del Perú.

En el campo de la investigación, la interacción entre la familia y la escuela es ampliamente reconocida como uno de los factores centrales que influyen en la experiencia educativa formal de los estudiantes. Su importancia ha sido descrita desde las teorías clásicas más relevantes del desarrollo humano en los campos de la psicología y la educación. En años más recientes, por ejemplo, la relevancia de la interacción entre la familia y la escuela se ha visto reflejada, sobre todo, en el impacto que aquella tiene sobre el desempeño y los logros de aprendizaje de los estudiantes, como se demuestra en los resultados de las evaluaciones internacionales SERCE y PISA. A partir de la revisión de literatura sobre modelos teóricos y factores asociados a la participación de la familia, las autoras proponen un modelo conceptual en el que la participación en la escuela se debe entender como un trabajo que involucra al estudiante, la familia, la escuela y la comunidad en cuatro dimensiones: (i) soporte de la familia en la experiencia escolar de lo estudiantes; (ii) comunicación entre familia y escuela; (iii) participación de la familia en la gestión y las actividades de la escuela; y (iv) integración de la comunidad para dar soporte a a experiencia escolar de los estudiantes. Esta propuesta de modelo conceptual ha sido validada a través de un análisis cualitativo de datos recogidos del estudio longitudinal Niños del Milenio en Perú (Tercera Ronda).Relacion padres-escuela, Escuela, Educacion, Parent school relationship, School, Education, Per

Recent trends in EU home ownership

Home ownership has been a source of concern for many EU28 governments, especially since the start of the economic crisis in 2008-09. After five-to-six years of persistently weak economic performance and in the context of the recently enacted mortgage credit directive - which should affect the principal funding channel of housing purchases – it seems timely to look at recent home ownership behaviours across the EU28, with special emphasis on the major changes. Recent macroeconomic data reveal three striking phenomena: highly diverse home ownership rates across countries – still; significant contractions in ownership in the UK and Ireland (especially among families); and marked contractions in ownership among poorer households in the EU15 since 2007. This ECRI Commentary is one of two on the topic of home ownership in the EU, published simultaneously by the same author; ECRI Commentary No.14, entitled “Home ownership, labour markets and the economic crisis” looks at the effects of high levels of home ownership, especially on labour markets

Technology Accumulation and the Division of Labour between China, Taiwan and Japan: Taiwanese Automotive Parts, and Die and Mould Firms in China

This paper seeks to analyze changes in the technical division of labour of Taiwanese automotive parts, and die and mould manufacturers in China using empirical data from a 2010 survey conducted in Kunshan. The evidence shows that these firms have upgraded considerably through strong technical collaboration with firms and imports of capital equipment from Japan. Both competition and cooperation have played an important role in the advancement of Taiwanese component and parts firms. The division of labour of automobile parts and dies and moulds appear to show firms in Japan and Taiwan enjoying cutting edge and intermediate technologies, while those in China are characterized by low end technology. However, owing to intense competition, the catching up speed of Chinese firms in China has accelerated and the gap has narrowed.- automotives, China, international division of labour, Japan, Taiwan, technolog

Trade in a ‘Green Growth’ Development Strategy Global Scale Issues and Challenges

The paper surveys the state of knowledge about the trade-related environmental consequences of a country’s development strategy along three channels: (i) direct trade-environment linkages (overexploitation of natural resources and trade-related transport costs);(ii) ’virtual trade’ in emissions resulting from production activities; (iii) the product mix attributes of a ‘green-growth’ strategy (environmentally preferable products and goods for environmental management). Main conclusions are the following. Trade exacerbates over-exploitation of natural resources in weak institutional environments, but there is little evidence that differences in environmental policies across countries has led to significant ‘pollution havens’. Trade policies to ‘level the playing field’ would be ineffective and result in destructive conflicts in the WTO. Lack of progress at the Doha round suggests the need to modify the current system of global policy making

Aid For Trade as finance for the Poor

The Aid for Trade (AFT) Initiative was announced at the 2005 Hong-Kong World Trade Organisation (WTO) ministerial. Then, Doha round talks were stalled as developing countries were disenchanted with the world trading system they had signed up to a decade earlier under the Single Undertaking, whereby all members signed up to the same rules even though differential treatment for the Least Developed Countries (LDCs) provided some preferential market access to OECD markets and longer time periods to implement the obligations. So when the AFT was started, market access to OECD countries had not improved because of dirty tariffication in agriculture, technical assistance funding to help implement the WTO agreements (customs valuation, sanitary and phytosanitary measures, trade-related aspects of intellectual property rights) was not forthcoming and for the LDCs preferential access was dwindling as preferential agreements signed by developed countries were proliferating.This paper focusses on channels through which AFT flows might help reduce poverty, the top priority-- under the MDGs (goal 1A is “Halve, between 1990 and 2015, the proportion of people living on less than $1.25 a day”). It does not deal with the voluminous literature covering the aid-growth nexus. At around$30 billion a year, AFT is about 30% of Official Development Assistance (ODA) financial flows to developing countries (remittance flows are more than the combined ODA and FDI flows). So trying to isolate the effects of AFT from other financial flows is looking for a needle in a haystack. Hence the focus is about the channels linking AFT to poverty reduction through trickle down effects and a reduction in trade costs; as well as on multiple rather than single-country studies to emphasize generalizable results.[1]Section 1 reviews briefly the history of the AFT Initiative and the challenges it faces and section 2 discusses how the adding of objectives has complicated the evaluation of AFT. Section 3 contends that the evidence supports the view that trade is the engine of growth rather than the other way around and section 4 gives evidence of the trickle down effects of growth. Section 5 reports the evidence on the obstacles to trade caused by poor infrastructure and on the links between AFT disbursements and reduced trade costs. Section 6 concludes that the recently signed Trade Facilitation Agreement provides the opportunity to direct resources towards countries with the highest trade costs and highest poverty rates. [1] Cadot et al (2014) and Cadot and de Melo (2014a, b, c) provide a critical survey of what we know (and don’t know) about the efficacy of aid-for-trade with a greater focus on lessons from case studies

NEWS AND PERSPECTIVES ON ACCOUNTING AND ECONOMETRIC MODELING CASH FLOW INDICATORS IN THE COMPANIES LISTED ON THE CAPITAL MARKET

The evaluation and design of an performant accounting model has to be achieved using many financial and non-financial indicators in order to diminish their limits, and to realize an empirical research which will lead to the building of an set of indicators assessing the overall performance, adapted to Romanian business environment because, at the moment the need to use a set of indicators to provide a detailed picture of performance.

Monotone Comparative Statics in Games with both Strategic Complements and Strategic Substitutes

This paper analyzes games with both strategic substitutes and strategic complements. Such games may behave differently from either games with strategic complements or games with strategic substitutes. In such games, equilibria do not decrease as the parameter increases. Moreover, natural conditions are presented to guarantee that an increase in the parameter leads to an increase in the equilibrium: in other words, conditions to guarantee monotone comparative statics. These conditions are based on intuitive tradeoffs between direct parameter effects and indirect strategic effects. These conditions are needed only for players with strategic substitutes; no conditions are imposed on players with strategic complements. Several examples highlight the results.Lattice games, strategic complements, strategic substitutes, equilibrium set, monotone comparative static
