Integrating comprehensive surgical, intensive, and emergency care systems into the Pan American Health Organization’s health agenda
In October 2024, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) formally integrated surgical, intensive, and emergency care into its health agenda. This followed important events, including the June 2024 endorsement of the Strategy on Integrated Emergency, Critical and Operative Care 2025-2030 by the PAHO Executive Committee. This strategy builds on the 2015 World Health Assembly (WHA) Resolution 68.15, which recognized surgery as essential to unive…
Demanda de dinero en América Latina, 1996-2016
The study of money demand enables us to understand the macroeconomic effects of monetary policy. In this paper, we estimate the money demand for 15 Latin American countries from 1996 to 2016, using panel cointegration and FMOLS estimation methods. We also estimate a model of dynamic common factors to test for the existence of common trends between countries. The results show a long run relationship between money demand, income, and interest rates…
Comprehension in interpreting and translation
Studies on the comprehension process in interpreting have shown that concurrent processing reduces recall in simultaneous interpreting. This effect has been attributed to phonological interference: since the articulatory loop is busy with the parallel vocalization of two streams of speech, encoding is impaired to such an extent that interpreters are not able to remember much of what they have just interpreted. On the other hand, recent studies on…
Volatilidad de los flujos de capital hacia paises en desarrollo
La dinámica de los flujos de capital hacia los países en desarrollo en las últimas décadas, ha puesto nuevamente en el centro del debate la discusión sobre sus beneficios y costos. El objetivo del presente artículo es analizar el comportamiento de los flujos de capital entre 1970 y 2002, su grado de volatilidad y sus efectos sobre el desempeño macroeconómico de América Latina. La volatilidad se mide mediante el coeficiente de variación, que se ca…
