Talleres educativos para sensibilizar niños, niñas y padres de familia sobre los comportamientos de agresividad relacionados con el maltrato intrafamiliar en el grado prescolar del Jardín Infantil el Paraíso de los Niños

134 Páginas.En la Institución Educativa Departamental Ignacio Pescador en el grado Preescolar, del Municipio de Choachí Cundinamarca se detectaron comportamientos de agresividad, causando una problemática en el trabajo pedagógico en el aula. Por esta razón, se decidió  realizar una Investigación Acción en el Aula acerca de las causas de estos comportamientos de agresividad, a través de la recolección y análisis de datos como la observación, diálogos y encuestas. Analizada la información de la problemática y teniendo en cuenta el marco teórico se procedió a realizar Talleres Educativos con el fin de sensibilizar a niños, niñas y padres de familia sobre los comportamientos de agresividad relacionados con el maltrato intrafamiliar. Al finalizar la investigación acción en el aula se logró disminuir los comportamientos de agresividad en los educandos generados por el maltrato intrafamiliar teniendo el apoyo de padres de familia y comunidad educativ

Real Dollarization, Financial Dollarization, and Monetary Policy

This paper explores the interaction of real dollarization (dollar indexing of wages), financial dollarization (dollar denomination of financial contracts) and monetary policy in a general equilibrium model with real shocks. Real dollarization is avoided as long as the home monetary authorities perform optimally (i.e., they maximize local welfare). Instead, dollarization increases when central banks perform poorly, and even more so when the correlation between domestic and external shocks is high, since in this case the (presumably optimal) foreign monetary policy guarantees a better level of protection against macroeconomic uncertainty. While real dollarization contributes to financial dollarization, important asymmetries between the two arise.

Occupational and Industry Mobility in the United States, 1969-1992

Using the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, we investigate occupational and industrial mobility of individuals over the 1969-1980 and 1981-1992 periods in the U.S. We find that workers changed both occupation and industry more frequently in the later period. Workers, on average, shifted occupation 1.8 times in the earlier period and 2.1 times in the later, and shifted industry 0.8 and 1.2 times, respectively. We also find that occupational and industry changes are associated with lower earnings, though this effect has lessened over time (from a 13 percent earnings reduction per occupational change for men in 1972-74 to a 9 percent loss in 1990-92). Our results also indicate that older workers are less likely to shift occupation or industry, as are better paid men but not better paid women.OCCUPATION; INDUSTRY; MOBILITY; EARNINGS.

Optimal Interest Rate Policy in a Small Open Economy

Using an optimizing model we derive the optimal monetary and exchange rate policy for a small stochastic open economy with imperfect competition and short run price rigidity. The optimal monetary policy has an exact closed-form solution and is obtained using the utility function of the representative home agent as welfare criterion. The optimal policy depends on the source of stochastic disturbances affecting the economy, much as in the literature pioneered by Poole (1970). Optimal monetary policy reacts to domestic and foreign disturbances. If the intertemporal elasticity of substitution in consumption is less than one, as is likely to be the case empirically, the optimal exchange rate policy implies a dirty float: interest rate shocks from abroad are met partially by adjusting home interest rates, and partially by allowing the exchange rate to move. This optimal pattern may help rationalize the observed fear of floating.

The Quest for Price Stability in Central America and the Dominican Republic

Why hasn’t inflation converged to price stability in Central America and the Dominican Republic? Why is it currently still high by Latin American standards? This paper addresses these questions, and finds that despite the institutional strengthening of monetary policy, important flaws remain in most central banks, in particular the lack of a clear policy mandate and little political autonomy, which are hurting the consistency of policy implementation. Empirical analysis reveals that all central banks raise interest rates to curtail inflation, but only some of them make large enough increases to effectively tackle inflation pressures. It also shows that some central banks care simultaneously about exchange rate stability. The potential policy conflict arising from a dual central bank mandate and the unpredictable policy response is probably undermining market confidence in central banks’ commitment to price stability, thereby perpetuating an inflation bias.
