El lugar de la vivienda social en la ciudad : Un análisis de la política habitacional desde el mercado de localizaciones intra-urbanas y las trayectorias residenciales de los habitantes

El objetivo de esta tesis es analizar el lugar de la vivienda social en la ciudad, partiendo del recorte que propone el Plan Federal de Construcción de Viviendas en el Area Metropolitana de Buenos Aires en el período 2003-2010. Dicho análisis se centra en la identificación de la posición de la vivienda social en el mercado residencial de localizaciones intra-urbanas y la lectura de los efectos de lugar generados por la política en las trayectorias habitacionales de los habitantes. Para ello, por un lado, se considera el lugar asignado a la vivienda social en la ciudad a través de la posición residencial que los nuevos barrios adquieren en la matriz o la estructura externalidades urbanas, considerando el efecto de los mecanismos de mercado en la adquisición de tierra para la construcción de vivienda social. Por otro lado, se analiza el modo en el cual dichos lugares son (re)construidos, apropiados y percibidos por los habitantes a partir de la mudanza a los barrios de viviendas social y las implicancias que la acción pública tiene en la movilidad residencial de los adjudicatarios. Si bien, este estudio parte de una análisis de la política habitacional, el aporte central se encuentra dirigido a indagar el lugar de la vivienda social desde una mirada que considera el mercado de localizaciones intra-urbanas y las trayectorias residenciales de los habitantes. Esta estrategia metodológica descentrada de los núcleos decisionales centrales de la política habitacioanl, busca poner en evidencia la ausencia de la discusión del papel que juega el suelo y localización en el abordaje de la política habitacional y su relación con la dinámica del hábitat popular. Por otro lado, cuestiona la configuración de una política sin sujeto, la cual se encuentra orientada desde una lógica sectorial a la contrucción a un producto-objeto que continúa mostrando diversas limitaciones

Variación intra-hablante en locuciones verbales : El caso de pasarla-pasarlo

El objetivo de este trabajo es comenzar una indagación en la variación de pronombres clíticos acusativos átonos que se hallan vaciados de distinción genérica. En el uso del español de la Argentina, observamos las siguientes expresiones con clíticos acusativos átonos en un mismo hablante: 1.Mi juego es pasarla bien: ir ensayar y bailar. 2.Estoy re enfocada en pasarlo bien. Nos interesa comenzar a indagar en qué casos el hablante elige la forma masculina y en qué casos la femenina. Y, ya que el referente en el discurso queda descartado, ¿cuál es el significado básico de las formas lo y la?, ¿en qué contextos se usa una y otra?, ¿qué quiere comunicar el hablante cuando usa una y cuando usa otra? Con respecto al corpus, las formas en variación que aquí estudiamos pertenecen al registro coloquial. Por este motivo, hemos seleccionado un corpus compuesto por blogs, artículos periodísticos de interés general, entrevistas y foros de discusión de la Argentina.

Exploring intra-commonwealth goods and services trade

A background paper for the Commonwealth Secretariat by Anirudh Shingal and Mohammad Razzaque: Existing work examining the trade effect of commonwealth membership does not account for sample selection, unobserved heterogeneity and multilateral resistance in estimation, leading to biased estimates. Our analyses improve on all these fronts. Unlike earlier work, we also consider services trade and assemble a much larger sample of trading partners (242 x 242, over 1995-2010). Commonwealth membership is found to increase goods exports by 18.5-33.2% and services exports by 42.8% in our results, ceteris paribus and on average. Our analyses on the determinants of intra-commonwealth trade suggest the positive role of common language (only for goods trade) and colonial relationships as well as the negative impact of geography, thereby confirming that commonwealth member states are not natural trading partners for each other. Finally, being one of Australia, Canada or the UK is associated with 98.2% greater merchandise trade than the commonwealth average; however, a similar effect is not observed for services trade.

Intra-regional trade between China, Japan, and Korea : before and after the financial crisis

East Asian economies have been heavily dependent on the U.S. and EU markets, especially for the export of final goods. Therefore, once the financial crisis hit Western economies hard, the East Asian economies lost their major markets.Their production networks then worked to the region's disadvantage and stifled industrial development.This reflects the vulnerability of the East Asian economies which have adopted an export-led growth strategy. Such vulnerability needs to be addressed to prevent future economic crises, as well as to sustain economic growth. This paper examines the trade structure of the three countries-China, Japan, and Korea-before and after the Lehman Shock, and discusses how the three countries should cooperate in addressing imbalances in the trade structure.

New aspects of intra-industry trade in EU countries

Using the HS eight-digit product level trade data of EU countries for the period 1988 – 2010, we analyse Intra-industry trade within EU countries as well as with Eastern European countries and with China. We find the Eastern European countries’ rise up the quality ladder, and by contrast the substantially lower prices of China’s exports to EU countries vis-à-vis China’s imports from them. The contrast between EU trade with the Eastern European countries and with China is present even in very recent years.

Product quality and intra-industry trade

In this study, we argue that the conventional intra-industry trade (IIT) index does not address the quality issue directly and propose a methodology to make full use of unit-price gap information to deduce quality differences between simultaneously exported and imported products. By applying this measure to German trade data at the eight-digit level, we study the quality improvement of Chinese export goods in its IIT with Germany. We compare the case of China with those of Eastern European countries, which are also major trading partners of Germany. Our results show that the unit-value difference in IIT between Germany and Eastern European countries is clearly narrowing. However, China's export prices to Germany are much lower than Germany's export prices to China, and this gap has not narrowed over the last 23 years. This is at odds with the common perception that China's product quality has improved, as documented by Rodrik (2006) and Schott (2008). Our results support Xu (2010), which argued that incorporating the quality aspect of the exported goods weakens or even eliminates the evidence of the sophistication of Chinese export goods in Rodrik (2006).

The Bangladesh gender gap in education : biased intra-household educational expenditures

By investigating the educational expenditure of children over the ten years (2000 to 2010), we evaluate whether there exists any gender specific discrepancy at the household level and the trend of such discrepancy over the years. Using three rounds of nationally representative Household Income & Expenditure Surveys this study reveals that households spend less on education for their school-going girls compared to boys. By disaggregating the total expenditure into fixed and variable components, we find persistent gender imbalance in educational expenditure where households provide better quality of education for boys. Moreover, we find that gender based discrepancy has a very persistent trend and does not show any significant sign of narrowing the gap over the years. Cohort wise difference-in-difference estimation also reveals that the gap has initially widened and later converged but has not diminished beyond the initial level of discrepancy, which may warrant targeted policy intervention.

On the stability of intra-industry trade

This paper presents the novel finding that two-way intra-industry trade (IIT) in product–country pairs is very unstable over time by using disaggregated trade data of OECD countries. Many products frequently switch among two-way, one-way and zero trade over time. To measure the stability of two-way trade, we propose a measure that we refer to as the "IIT stability index". Our estimation results using the proposed measure show that two-way trade involving markets of different sizes and long distance are likely to be unstable. In addition, primary products are more unstable than manufactured products.

Intra-annual patterns of tracheid size in the Mediterranean tree Juniperus thurifera as an indicator of seasonal water stress

Because climate can affect xylem cell anatomy, series of intra-annual cell anatomical features have the potential to retrospectively supply seasonal climatic information. In this study, we explored the ability to extract information about water stress conditions from tracheid features of the Mediterranean conifer Juniperus thurifera L. Tracheidograms of four climatic years from two drought-sensitive sites in Spain were compared to evaluate whether it is possible to link intra-annual cell size patterns to seasonal climatic conditions. Results indicated site-specific anatomical adjustment such as smaller and thicker tracheids at the dryer site but also showed a strong climatic imprint on the intra-annual pattern of tracheid size. Site differences in cell size reflected expected structural adjustments against cavitation failures. Differences between intra-annual patterns, however, indicated a response to seasonal changes in water availability whereby cells formed under drought conditions were smaller and thicker, and vice versa. This relationship was more manifest and stable at the dryer site

Wireless Optical Communications for Intra-Spacecraft Networks Based on OCDMA with Random Optical Codes

In recent years, spacial agencies have shown a growing interest in optical wireless as an alternative to wired and radio-frequency communications. The use of these techniques for intra-spacecraft communications reduces the effect of take-off acceleration and vibrations on the systems by avoiding the need for rugged connectors and provides a significant mass reduction. Diffuse transmission also eases the design process as terminals can be placed almost anywhere without a tight planification to ensure the proper system behaviour. Previous studies have compared the performance of radio-frequency and infrared optical communications. In an intra-satellite environment optical techniques help reduce EMI related problems, and their main disadvantages - multipath dispersion and the need for line-of-sight - can be neglected due to the reduced cavity size. Channel studies demonstrate that the effect of the channel can be neglected in small environments if data bandwidth is lower than some hundreds of MHz.
