Avaliação da estrutura e do desempenho do sistema tributário Brasileiro: Livro branco da tributação Brasileira
Authors: Castro Kleber Pacheco de , Morais Soares Julia , Rodrigues Afonso José Roberto
Published: March 2024

Este trabalho faz um diagnóstico atualizado do sistema tributário brasileiro para subsidiar os debates dos técnicos, das autoridades e dos parlamentares em torno de sua reforma. Isto é feito a partir do levantamento e sistematização de informações sobre a tributação no Brasil. O foco é na caracterização atualizada do sistema tributário - e menos importa sua evolução -, dentro dos limites de disponibilidade das estatísticas. A arrecadação tributária constitui o objeto central, na primeira parte do trabalho. Ele procura detalhar ao máximo a estrutura atual dessa arrecadação: são identificados cada imposto, taxa e contribuição que compõe a arrecadação, e os agrupa por esfera de governo que os coleta e que deles dispõe depois das transferências. Para os principais tributos (federais e ICMS estadual), é também feita uma abertura por modalidade de cobrança e por setor de atividade econômica. Uma segunda abordagem do trabalho é uma a coletânea dos pontos mais polêmicos ou mais citados na agenda de debate tributário - tais como as questões da competitividade, da equidade e da divisão federativa de recursos. A proposta é consolidar a literatura sobre tais temas, com ênfase no levantamento estatístico, das fontes disponíveis.
Fazendo e desfazendo a Lei Kandir
Authors: Varsano Ricardo
Published: March 2024

Este artigo apresenta as razões que levaram os governos estaduais e federal a cooperarem na elaboração da Lei Kandir, descreve o processo de elaboração da lei, suas principais provisões e as alterações subsequentes e discute a disputa sobre o montante das transferências intergovernamentais. Ao seu final, argumenta que o processo de desfazer a Lei Kandir se insere em um quadro mais amplo - o federalismo conflitivo praticado no Brasil - enquanto o processo de elaboração da lei é um raro episodio de cooperação entre os entes federados. Conclui que a prática de um federalismo cooperativo seria provavelmente mais benéfica para as finanças estaduais e certamente mais benéfica para a prosperidade econômica do país.

A Brief History of Tax Transparency
Authors: Roca Jerónimo , Barreix Alberto Daniel , Velayos Fernando
Published: March 2024

This study describes progress on the international exchange of tax information from the end of the Second World War -a period marked by the complete absence of interinstitutional international collaboration- to more recent years, when there has been real awareness of taxation as an intrinsically global phenomenon. Thus the study analyzes the development of the new technical instruments and the institutional apparatus that have facilitated such progress, as well as matters that threaten their effectiveness and the critical factors in these processes.
Sex-disaggregated Supply-side Data Relevant to Financial Inclusion
Authors: Pailhé Cristina
Published: March 2024

At the global level, efforts to measure and monitor financial inclusion indicators have been increasing. However, there is still a substantial lack of sexdisaggregated data, particularly from the supply side; that is, data compiled from information provided by financial institutions. Among the countries of LatinAmerica and the Caribbean (LAC), there is a systematic lack of sexdisaggregated data at both the public and private sector levels. This impacts negatively on efforts to improve financial inclusion, as it hampers the design of strategies with actions and objectives that are more appropriate for men and women and makes it impossible to evaluate public intervention or measure progress. This paper seeks to help close the supply-side data gap and proposes a set of sex-disaggregated supply-side data indicators, based on both international data-gathering initiatives and those undertaken at the national level in LAC. It suggests that financial regulators in LAC should collect supply-side data gradually to build a database that is harmonized and comparable among the region’s countries. Such data would facilitate the study, monitoring, and comparison of progress on financial inclusion for men and women. It would also facilitate the design of appropriate policies and reforms.
The Impact of the Lending Program for the Productive Development and Employment Generation of the San Juan Province
Authors: Bueso-Merriam Jacqueline , Demichelis Francisco , Fernández Díez María Carmen , Giuliodori David , Rodríguez Alejandro , Stucchi Rodolfo
Published: March 2024

A shortcoming of the current empirical impact evaluation literature is the lack of studies that measure the effect of access to credit in the medium and long term, as well as the impact on interventions targeted at micro-, small-, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). This study addresses both aspects by analyzing the average impact that the Lending Program for the Productive Development and Employment Generation of the San Juan Province has had on sales, employment, investment, and productivity of beneficiary MSMEs. The authors measured the abovementioned impacts using a lagged dependent variable (LDV) model that, beyond controlling for selection bias, also controls for the sequential entry of companies into the program. To conduct this analysis, the authors used a survey implemented by the National University of San Juan to 664 companies. The results of the study indicate a positive and statistically significant impact of 6.9 percent on the likelihood to invest, 9.7 percent on sales, 4.3 percent on employment, and 6.4 percent on labor productivity. The analysis allows for the identification of differentiated impacts by type of company, as classified by size and sector or type of economic activity.
The Impact of Obligations in Spectrum Value
Authors: Alarcon Lopez Luis Guillermo
Published: March 2024

Radiofrequency spectrum is an essential asset for mobile network operators. Governments set its value to organize competitive frequency auctions and define recurrent payments, such as taxes and right of use. This publication sustains that governments should value radio frequency spectrum as a function of the intended frequency use policy and corresponding obligations. A mathematical formula is proposed to articulate, quantitatively, the relationship between spectrum value and regulatory obligations, including promoting new market entrants, conditioning of wholesale obligations, definition of coverage goals, and requirement to support public safety and first respondent services. This paper targets, in general, the telecommunication ministries, national regulatory authorities, and government entities that address the topic of valuing radio frequency spectrum.

Intergenerational Social Mobility in Latin America: A Review of Existing Evidence
Authors: Bouillon César P. , Azevedo Viviane
Published: March 2024

This article reviews evidence on intergenerational social mobility in Latin America. Results indicate that mobility is low in the Region. The evidence also suggests high levels of immobility at the income distribution's lower and upper tails. While intergenerational education mobility has improved in recent decades, which may increase income mobility for younger populations, overall the Region still presents lower intergenerational social mobility. These results may be associated with social exclusion, low access to higher education, and labor market discrimination.

After posting double digit gains in 2010-2011, Latin America's export growth declined to just 1.5% in 2012 for a total value of slightly more than $1 trillion, according to figures just released by the Integration and Trade Sector of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). These results reflected uneven economic conditions in Latin America's major trade partners. In Europe, economic setbacks resulted in a 5% drop in demand for Latin American exports, while lower growth in the People's Republic of China and the Republic of Korea sharply slowed the region's export growth to Asia as a whole, from 25% in 2011 to only 1% this year. In one bright spot, incipient recovery in the United States fueled growth in Latin American exports to that country by an estimated 3%. The 2012 trade estimates, published in the IDB's Latin American Trade Trend Estimates 2012, are based on partial monthly and quarterly data of 16 Latin American countries from official national and international sources, as well as the Bank's INTrade Information System.

INTrade: Latin American Trade Trend Estimates: 2013
Authors: Harris Jeremy , Ramos Martínez Alejandro , Giordano Paolo
Published: March 2024

Latin American Trade Trend Estimates is an annual study published by the Integration and Trade Sector of the Inter-American Development Bank that analyses the region's trade performance based on available national and international data for selected countries. For 2013, the study reports that Latin American exports stagnated, posting a second straight year of sluggish growth. Export increases were barely over 0%, for a total value of slightly more than $1 trillion. It is also noted that the region's exports actually declined in the first months of the year, continuing a negative trend that began in late 2012. However, in the third quarter, exports began to grow again, and current estimates point to a small positive overall growth rate for the year. Results varied considerably among countries. Brazil, Colombia, Peru, and Venezuela all posted declines in exports, while Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador, Mexico, Paraguay and Uruguay posted increases. Results in Central America were mixed, with exports barely growing in Costa Rica and Guatemala, declining in Honduras and Nicaragua, but expanding in El Salvador, and Panama.
