Lietuvos ir Islandijos valdžios užsienio skolos lyginamoji analizė 2000 - 2010 m / Lithuania and Iceland‘s government foreign debt comparative analysis of 2000-2010

Kuodytė, Vaidota 05 July 2011 (has links)
Besivystančių rinkų šalyse, kur jų makroekonominiai rodikliai turi didelės ir lemtingos įtakos kreditų reitingų rezultatams, nuo kurių priklauso užsienio rinkų atsakas į valstybės poreikį pasiskolinti, būtina objektyviai ir laiku vertinti šalių būsenas bei galimybes laiku ir tinkamai vykdyti prisiimtus įsipareigojimus. Darbo tema – Lietuvos ir Islandijos užsienio skolos lyginamoji analizė 2000 – 2010 m. Tyrimo problema – augančios valstybės užsienio skolos priežasčių lyginamoji analizė. Darbo objektas – Lietuvos ir Islandijos valdžios užsienio skola 2000 – 2010 m. Tyrimo tikslas – atlikus statistinių duomenų lyginamąją analizę, įvertinti Lietuvos valdžios užsienio skolos įtaką valstybės stabilumui Islandijos atžvilgiu. Tyrimo hipotezė - Valstybę prie finansų stabilumo krizės priveda ne jos grynosios skolos perviršis, bet valstybės prisiimami įsipareigojimai užsienio kreditoriams, kurie pareikalavę skolų grąžinimo, valstybę galėtų privesti prie nemokumo ribos. Darbo metodika - dokumentų analizė: autorių darbų ir straipsnių teorinė analizė, statistinių duomenų analizė; Lietuvos valdžios skolos pokyčių 2000-2010 m. analizė; Lietuvos ir Islandijos valdžios užsienio skolų 2000 – 2010 m. lyginamoji analizė . Darbo tikslas lėmė tokią darbo struktūrą: teorinėje dalyje apžvelgta valstybės skolos reikšmė, skolos struktūra, priežastys lemiančios skolos formavimą; antroje darbo dalyje vertinami kreditų reitingų agentūrų suteikti kreditų reitingai Lietuvai, Lietuvos skolos...

Crise da dívida durante a ditadura militar na imprensa alternativa: uma análise do Jornal O Trabalho entre 1978 e 1985 / Debt Crisis during the Military dictatorship in Alternative Press: An analysis of O Trabalho Newspaper between 1978 to 1985

Cupolillo, Luã de Campos 27 November 2018 (has links)
Este trabalho se apoiou numa pesquisa documental composta das 250 primeiras edições do Jornal O Trabalho, órgão da imprensa alternativa, publicado pela Organização Socialista Internacionalista, de tradição Trotskista, fundado em 1° de maio de 1978. Tem por objetivo sintetizar e analisar as publicações e elaborações deste jornal a respeito da questão da dívida externa no país durante o período que compreende a data de fundação do Jornal até o fim da Ditadura militar brasileira. Como se trata de um jornal que esteve diretamente conectado à fundação do Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT) procura-se analisar a história da organização que fundou o jornal, o modo como o jornal era elaborado e funcionava e a maneira pela qual esta organização se relacionou com a fundação do PT, uma das principais organizações a lutar pelo fim da ditadura militar no Brasil. Na sequência, procede-se uma análise da trajetória da dívida externa brasileira para contextualizar o papel da dívida nos anos 1970 e 1980 e a análise da cobertura deste jornal sobre a questão. A pesquisa permitiu compreender a elaboração de uma corrente trotskista sobre a questão e, a partir dos pressupostos teóricos a que essa corrente se filia, o papel atribuído à dívida externa no desenvolvimento do país, além do papel que o PT atribuiu a esta questão para orientar sua ação política nos anos finais do regime militar. / This dissertation was based on a documentary research composed of the first 250 editions of the Newspaper O Trabalho, a Newspaper of the alternative press, published by the Socialist Internationalist Organization of Trotskyst tradition, founded on May 1, 1978, and aims to Synthesize and Analyze publications and elaborations of this newspaper on the issue of the Foreign Debt in Brazil during the period that includes the date of the foundation of the Newspaper until the end of the Brazilian military dictatorship in 1985. As it is a Newspaper that was directly connected to the foundation of the Workers Party (Partido dos Trabalhores PT) this work also seeks to analyze the history of the organization that founded the Newspaper, how the Newspaper was elaborated, how it worked and how this organization was related to the foundation of PT Itself, one of the most important organizations fighting for the end of the Military Dictatorship in Brazil. An analysis of the trajectory of the Brazilian external debt is made to contextualize the Debt role in the 1970s and the 1980s and how this Newspapper approach this issue. The ressearch allows to understand the elaboration of a Trotskyst organization about the External Debt, and based on theoretical trotskyst tradition understand the role attributed to the External Debt in the Country\'s development, as well the role that PT attributed to this issue to guide political action in the final years of the military regime.

Efficiency of Foreign Debt Portfolio Management in Emerging Economies

Adinugrahan, Sapto, Ridwan, Mochamad January 2015 (has links)
Fluctuation of exchange rate has affected the increasing burden of foreign debt payment in emerging economies. This issue has negatively influenced the economic growth. It has been a severe obstacle considering that governments have to issue public debt denominated in foreign currency to finance the budget deficit. Hence, there is an urgent necessity to implement an efficient public debt management to minimize the exchange rate exposure. This thesis analyses how efficient the foreign debt portfolio management is in the 14 emerging economies under examination in the period of 1990-2013. Panel Dynamic Fixed-effect Estimator and Granger Causality approach are applied to analyze how responsive the currency composition of foreign debt portfolio to the exchange rates movement. The thesis examines the four biggest foreign debt shares that are denominated in US dollar, Euro, British pound, and Japanese yen, and the related exchange rates movement in the economies under consideration. The observation concludes that the foreign debt portfolio management in these emerging economies is not efficient or not optimal. The evidences prove that changes in the exchange rates of Euro, British pound, and Japanese yen relative to US dollar Granger cause changes in respected debt shares. It means that there is no substitution effects from the appreciation of the currencies vis-à-vis the US dollar during the year of observation.

Political and economic news during the Argentine crisis of 2000-2002: An agenda-setting analysis of major newspaper coverage

Eberle-Blaylock, Mariana 01 June 2005 (has links)
During the years 2000-2002, the Republic of Argentina experienced one of the most, if not the most, devastating social/political/economic crisis ever seen. President Fernando de la Rua, elected in 1999, was forced to resign on December 20th, 2001, after several months of protests, public demonstrations, and a colossal economic recession. During the crisis, the media played a vital role, they told people not only what issues to think about but also what to think about them. This study analyzed the newspapers role during the crisis using the Agenda-Setting Theory as the research foundation.

Essays in political economy / Ensaios em economia política

Rizzi, Renata 07 December 2012 (has links)
This thesis is divided into three parts. The first one evaluates the institution of compulsory vote, providing new estimates for the effects of the obligation to vote on individuals. The identification strategy relies on the Brazilian dual voting system - voluntary and compulsory - the exposure being determined by the date of birth. Using RD and IV approaches and data from a self-collected survey, we find that the compulsory legislation leads to a significant increase in voter turnout. These changes are followed by a sizable increase in the probability that individuals will express preference for a political party, but not by an increase in political knowledge among the population. Moreover, we find that the first compulsory voting experience permanently affects individuals\' preferences. The second part of the thesis empirically analyses episodes of sovereign debt default. Some of the salient features of the theoretical literature on sovereign debt, including its prediction that almost all defaults should arise in \"Bad Times\", are at odds with the data: over 38% of defaults actually occur in \"Good Times\", as measured by an HP filter. We explore the specific characteristics of each type of default and present econometric evidence that failures to repay foreign debt in good times can, usually, be rationalized by three components: (i) changes in the political environment, (ii) hikes in global interest rates and (iii) instances in which good HP times actually take place under quite poor economic conditions. We also present some suggestive indications that the duration of the episodes does not vary substantially with the type of default that precedes them, but with the environment in which they occur, drawing some important implications for the understanding of economies\' post-default market access. The third part of the thesis looks at the issue of campaign contributions in exchange for political favors (the so called \"pay-to-play\" scheme). I proposes a simple game to model the incentives of political parties and firms from public-revenue-intensive sectors, and test the implications of this model using data on campaign contributions and public contracts from Brazil. The data confirms the pay-to-play hypothesis. / Esta tese se divide em três partes. A primeira parte avalia a instituição do voto compulsório, proporcionando novas estimativas para os efeitos da obrigação de votar sobre os indivíduos. A estratégia de identificação se baseia no sistema dual em vigor no Brasil - voluntário e compulsório - sendo a exposição determinada pela data de nascimento. Usando as metodologias de RD e VI, e dados de uma pesquisa coletada especificamente para este estudo, concluímos que esta legislação leva a um aumento significante na participação política através do voto. Este aumento é acompanhado por uma elevação considerável na probabilidade de os cidadãos expressarem preferência por um partido político, mas não no seu nível de conhecimento sobre política. Além disto, concluímos que a primeira experiência de voto afeta permanentemente as preferências dos indivíduos. A segunda parte da tese analisa empiricamente episódios de calote da dívida soberana. Alguns dos aspectos fundamentais da literatura teórica sobre o assunto, incluindo a previsão de que quase todos os calotes deveriam ocorrer em \"Períodos Ruins\", não são confirmados pelos dados: mais de 38% dos calotes ocorrem em \"Períodos Bons\", sob a definição do filtro HP. Exploramos as características de cada tipo de calote e apresentamos evidência econométrica de que calotes na dívida externa em períodos bons em geral podem ser explicados por três componentes: (i) mudanças no ambiente político, (ii) aumentos nas taxas de juros internacionais e (iii) instâncias em que o filtro HP classifica um período como bom ainda que a real situação econômica seja bastante negativa. Por fim, apresentamos alguns resultados que sugerem que a duração do episódio de calote não depende substancialmente do tipo de calote em questão, mas sim do ambiente em que o calote ocorre. Tal resultado abre caminho para novas pesquisas sobre o acesso a mercados internacionais de crédito após calotes. A terceira parte da tese trata da questão de contribuições de campanha em troca de favores políticos (esquema conhecido como \"pay-to-play\"). Eu proponho um jogo simples para modelar os incentivos de partidos políticos e firmas de setores intensos em receitas públicas, e testo as implicações deste modelo usando dados de doações de campanhas e contratos públicos do Brasil. Os dados confirmam a hipótese de pay-to-play.

Cáceres y el Contrato Grace: sus motivaciones

Pereyra Plasencia, Hugo January 2016 (has links)
El Contrato Grace, suscrito en 1888 entre el gobierno del presidente Andrés A. Cáceres y el club británico de tenedores de bonos de la deuda externa peruana, fue presentado por sus críticos contemporáneos no sólo como un instrumento que dañaba los intereses nacionales, sino también como una operación corrupta. Este artículo hace una apreciación crítica sobre ambos juicios. Con base en documentación de la época, se sostiene que Cáceres, promotor del Contrato Grace, tuvo como una de sus motivaciones esenciales la obtención de recursos para financiar el pago de los diez millones de pesos contemplados en el Tratado de Ancón como compensación a Chile, en elcaso de que el Perú ganara el plebiscito de Tacna y Arica previsto para 1894.

Neither a Borrower nor a Lender Be: America Attempts to Collect its War Debts 1922-1934.

Chambers, James 17 December 2011 (has links) (PDF)
During and immediately after World War I the United States lent over $10 billion to various countries to sustain their war efforts and to provide post-war relief. The United States's insistence that these loans be repaid led to sharp disagreements with its erstwhile allies as to the nature of these loans and whether they should actually be repaid. This thesis examines the processes, and the policies upon which those processes were based, by which the United States attempted to compel the debtor nations to begin repaying their loans. The central theme of the thesis was developed largely from primary sources, including Annual Reports of the Secretary of the Treasury, diplomatic message traffic, and minutes and reports of the World War Foreign Debt Commission. Secondary sources supported the development of the economic and political context in which these events occurred as well as the perspectives of the foreign governments involved.
