Efectos del tratado de libre comercio con Estados Unidos en el sub sector avícola colombiano

La industria avícola, es uno de los sub-sectores mas representativos en la economía, tanto de Estados Unidos como para Colombia en los últimos años. Esta industria en Colombia, ha logrado aumentar su producción, sin embargo el presente TLC firmado y puesto en marcha con Estados Unidos ha puesto en riesgo la Avicultura del Terrirtorio colombiano, debido a muchas diferencias, como el precio de venta, el cual el colombiano es mucho mayor al norteamerciano, diferencias en infraestructura, en tecnicas de producción, en la partes del pollo que se consumen lo que hace que Colombia se encuentre en desventaja y tenga que buscar herramientas para competir.

Continuous improvement programs as processes for organizational learning: a case study of a company in the food products industry

This article intends to show the relationships between quality practices and the process of organizational learning. When we look at the literature about programs of continuous improvement we see that theoreticians consider that the process of organizational learning is a superior stage in the quality culture adopted by companies. To investigate this possibility, we put together a series of indicators taken from classic authors who have written about organizational learning. Adopting a multiple methodology, we applied these indicators to two plants belonging to the Nestlé food product company which have introduced continuous improvement programs over the last two years.

Labor's shares - aggregate and industry: accounting for both in a model of unbalanced growth with induced innovation

The relative stability of aggregate labor's share constitutes one of the great macroeconomic ratios. However, relative stability at the aggregate level masks the unbalanced nature of industry labor's shares – the Kuznets stylized facts underlie those of Kaldor. We present a two-sector – one labor-only and the other using both capital and labor – model of unbalanced economic development with induced innovation that can rationalize these phenomena as well as several other empirical regularities of actual economies. Specifically, the model features (i) one sector ("goods" production) becoming increasingly capital-intensive over time; (ii) an increasing relative price and share in total output of the labor-only sector ("services"); and (iii) diverging sectoral labor's shares despite (iii) an aggregate labor's share that converges from above to a value between 0 and unity. Furthermore, the model (iv) supports either a neoclassical steadystate or long-run endogenous growth, giving it the potential to account for a wide range of real world development experiences.

Controlling regional monopolies in the natural gas industry: the role of transport capacity

This paper analyzes some optimal fiscal, pricing, and capacity investment policies for controlling regional monopoly power in the natural gas industry. By letting the set of control instruments available to the social planner vary, we provide a characterization of the technological and demand conditions under which “excess” capacity in the transport network arises in response to the loss of the two other control instruments, namely, transfers and pricing. Hence, the analysis yields some insights on an economy’s incentives to invest in infrastructures for the purpose of integrating geographically isolated markets.

La aplicación del TLC entre Colombia y USA en el departamento de Cundinamarca: encuentros y desencuentros en la negociación y sus resultados en el sector avícola. (2003-2014)

Desde que Estados Unidos y Colombia firmaron el Tratado de Libre Comercio se establecieron una serie de acuerdos respecto a diferentes sectores, como lo es el sector avícola. Con su entrada en vigencia se hizo efectiva la desgravación arancelaria y por ende la liberalización de este sector, lo cual pone a la avicultura colombiana y en especial a la avicultura del departamento de Cundinamarca en riesgo debido a los bajos niveles arancelarios que se tienen, así como el diferencial de precios de venta entre Colombia y Estados Unidos. Por tal razón el presente trabajo de grado tiene como objetivo principal analizar los efectos que se han dado por el incumplimiento de los compromisos arancelarios acordados en la negociación del tratado en el sector avícola de Cundinamarca, así como analizar las asimetrías existentes en el nivel de desarrollo económico y la competitividad sectorial.
