Competition and complementarity between road and rail transport in the carriage of freight

A seminar on competition and complementarity between road and rail transport in the carriage of freight was conducted at ECLAC Headquarters on 6-7 November 2001. The seminar was attended by experts on transport matters from a range of countries, and their presentations covered the current state of integration of transport in countries like Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Mexico. Also in attendance was an expert from Central America, who spoke about modal integration of freight transport in that region. Three round-table discussions were held with the participation of representatives of the trucking and rail sectors, drawn from both the private and public spheres.

Caribbean development report: Exploring strategies for sustainable growth and development in Caribbean small island States

The Third Caribbean Development Roundtable (23-24 April 2014) was held under the theme “Exploring strategies for sustainable growth and development in Caribbean Small Island Developing States (SIDS)”. The Roundtable focused on challenges faced in stimulating growth and creating a capacity for resilience among the Caribbean SIDS. The conference examined the continuing challenge of igniting robust growth in Caribbean Small States, and at the same time, mitigating structural and cyclical risks and uncertainty. The presentations made at the Roundtable can be placed under six themes which comprise the sections of this report, namely: Macroeconomic reorganisation in the context of risk and uncertainty; fiscal adjustment, stabilisation and debt management; services, public/private partnership and development; social protection; human capital formation; and environmental protection.

Report of the roundtable: towards development of a climate change policy for the Caribbean

The Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) Subregional Headquarters for the Caribbean, in collaboration with the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Secretariat through the Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre (CCCCC), convened a meeting of technical experts working in the field of economics and climate change. The main objective of the meeting was to present the results of studies that were conducted under the project, “Understanding the Potential Economic Impact of Climate Change in Latin America and the Caribbean”. These presentations were expected to sensitize the experts to the costs of the impacts of climate change in different development scenarios and also present the costs of adaptative and mitigative strategies to 2100. It was expected that discussions of the presentation would inform the preparation of a subregional climate change policy through an examination of the existing Regional Climate Change Framework for Building Resilience. Discussions were also intended to focus on updating participants on the upcoming negotiations for the new Kyoto Protocol that would take place in Mexico in November 2010. The meeting took the form of presentations by relevant experts followed by discussions. Each discussion segment resulted in recommendations that would inform development of the policy. The meeting was held at the ECLAC Subregional Headquarters for the Caribbean, Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, on 30 June 2010.

The CARIFORUM-EU Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA): an assessment of issues relating to market access, safeguards and implications for regional integration

The recent collapse of the Doha round once again underscores the tenuous nature of international trade negotiations. Likewise, the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) between the CARIFORUM grouping and the European Union (EU) has generated a great deal of discussion and debate over the past several months. What has clearly emerged is the existence of two diametrically opposed views on the impact and usefulness of the agreement. One view has it that the EPA is a major breakthrough in trade relations that will greatly benefit the region. On the other hand, some see it as being detrimental to the region and perhaps a total capitulation to the EU on the part of the CARIFORUM. They assert that it is part of a global EU strategy to impose World Trade Organization (WTO) policies on developing nations and get around the Doha obstacles. Both sides in this debate attempt to back up their views with reference to the text of the agreement. The objective of this review is to shed some light on the issues driving this debate particularly in the areas of market access, the impact on tariff revenues, and the implications for regional integration. This review also attempts to clarify and distill some of the main contentious issues regarding the EPA and to inform further discussion regarding an implementation plan. The approach is based on detailed study of the EPA text and its annexes plus extensive interviews with some of the main negotiators on the CARIFORUM side. Interviews were conducted both in person and via the Internet as many of the regional negotiators live or work outside of the region. The reviewer also attended presentations and discussions with some of the leading regional critics of the agreement.

Discriminação simples com mudanças sucessivas na função dos estímulos em bebês

Este trabalho investigou em três bebês, que tinham entre 10 e 14 meses no início do estudo, a aprendizagem de discriminações simples com mudanças sucessivas na função dos estímulos (DSMS), considerando que esse repertório pode facilitar a aprendizagem de discriminações condicionais por identidade (DCI), um possível pré-requisito no desenvolvimento de repertórios simbólicos mais complexos. A tarefa consistia na apresentação de figuras animadas (GIFs) em uma tela sensível ao toque, com um arranjo que simulava a configuração de um treino de DCI: em uma tentativa de discriminação simples, primeiro um estímulo (estímulo isolado EI) era apresentado e responder a ele produzia seu desaparecimento, reforço e a apresentação simultâneas de dois ou três estímulos, um deles o EI, o estímulo correto (S+). Foram programadas oito tentativas por sessão. O treino foi planejado para iniciar com uma discriminação simples com dois estímulos, com mudança na função dos estímulos, até que três estímulos diferentes tivessem funcionado uma vez como S+ e outra como S-. Após essa etapa passaria a ser apresentado três estímulos na mesma tentativa, até que cada um deles tivesse funcionado como S+ e S- (um ciclo de treino de DSMS). Depois disso o mesmo procedimento seria repetido com a redução de 50% do reforçamento nas apresentações do EI a cada ciclo de treino, até sua retirada total. Os resultados mostraram que as crianças somente alcançaram a etapa inicial do treino de DSMS planejado: duas mostraram evidência de aprendizagem de DSMS com dois estímulos e uma de discriminação simples também com dois estímulos. Das diversas manipulações que foram feitas procurando favorecer a permanência das crianças na tarefa e a aprendizagem da mesma, a que pareceu gerar melhores resultados foi a substituição dos conjuntos de estímulos ao longo do treino. Discute-se como essa manipulação, caracterizada como um treino de múltiplos exemplares de determinado repertório discriminativo, pode ser usada para ensinar DCI para crianças com menos de dois anos.
