Panorama de la Inserción Internacional de América Latina y el Caribe 2015. La crisis del comercio regional: diagnóstico y perspectivas

En la edición 2015 del Panorama de la Inserción Internacional de América Latina y el Caribe se analiza, desde la perspectiva del comercio, el contexto internacional y regional. Desde esa perspectiva, la región enfrenta el contexto económico internacional más desfavorable desde 2009. Más aún, la profundización de la especialización en recursos naturales durante el ciclo de altos precios y la persistencia de una estructura productiva con reducidas capacidades tecnológicas dificultan salir de la compleja coyuntura actual. En este marco, la CEPAL insta a los países a promover la integración económica regional, porque avanzar hacia un espacio integrado y con reglas comunes es indispensable para promover los encadenamientos productivos, aumentar la resiliencia del comercio intrarregional y favorecer la diversificación productiva y exportadora.

Latin America and the Caribbean in the World Economy 2015. The regional trade crisis: assessment and outlook.

With external conditions sluggish and highly uncertain as the global economy still struggles to shake off the effects of the economic crisis of 2008-2009, the Latin American and Caribbean region is not isolated from these effects and is projected to record a small drop in gross domestic product (GDP) in 2015, followed by a weak recovery in 2016. Against this backdrop, 2015 will be the third consecutive year of increasing declines in regional export values; a state of affairs not seen since the Great Depression of the 1930s. This poor performance reflects the end of the commodity price boom, the slowdown of the Chinese economy, the weak recovery of the eurozone and the lacklustre economic activity in the region, particularly in South America.

Políticas de logística y movilidad para el desarrollo sostenible y la integración regional

El presente documento propone un cambio de paradigma para la formulación de políticas nacionales de logística y movilidad, con pautas comunes para los países de América Latina y el Caribe. Dicho cambio permitirá fortalecer el desarrollo y la integración productiva mediante la generación de cadenas de valor que profundicen los mercados nacionales y regionales, una mejor inserción en la economía global, la generación de una conectividad eficiente entre los eslabones de la cadena así como también la articulación de proyectos regionales en ciencia, tecnología e innovación para consolidar un cambio estructural con igualdad.

Towards a demand model for maritime passenger transportation in the Caribbean: a regional study of passenger ferry services

In this paper, the main factors that influence the demand for maritime passenger transportation in the Caribbean were studied. While maritime studies in the Caribbean have focused on infrastructural and operational systems for intensifying trade and movement of goods, there is little information on the movement of persons within the region and its potential to encourage further integration and sustainable development. Data to inform studies and policies in this area are particularly difficult to source. For this study, an unbalanced data set for the 2000-2014 period in 15 destinations with a focus on departing ferry passengers was compiled. Further a demand equation for maritime passenger transportation in the Caribbean using panel data methods was estimated. The results showed that this demand is related to the real fare of the service, international economic activity and the number of passengers arriving in the country by air.

Logistics observatories and regional integration indicators: the Mesoamerica project

This FAL Bulletin analyses the development of logistics observatories and the construction of regional integration indicators in Latin America and the Caribbean. To this end, it examines experiences, in the region and worldwide, in relation to the construction of indicators and presents a set of policy recommendations for proper implementation. The Mesoamerica Project is used as a case study to construct a set of indicators for logistics infrastructures.
