This analysis considers that individuals are contained in neighborhoods and schools, but not all individuals from the same neighborhood attend the same school, and vice versa. With the purpose of creating a proper model for this data structure various econometric models were used, including a crossed random effect multilevel hierarchical regression. The central objective is to identify the extent to which neighborhood and schooling conditions are correlated with the educational results of the objective population, and which neighborhood and school features are more strongly associated to this test’s results. We used data from the Saber 11 test, the C-600 school census, the 2005 population census and the Bogota D.C. metropolitan police department. Our estimations show that both neighborhoods and schools correlate with this test’s results; but the school seems to be a much stronger factor than the neighborhood. School features that have the strongest correlation with these test’s results are the teacher’s education, the school day’s schedule, schooling expenses and the school’s socioeconomic context. Neighborhoods features that are mostly associated with these test’s results are the presence of university students within the upz, a cluster of higher educational levels as well as the crime rate within the neighborhood, which correlates negatively. Previous results were found taking in account family and personal controls.","PeriodicalId":34973,"journal":{"name":"Revista de Economia del Rosario","volume":"20 1","pages":"33-69"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66176926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Adicionalmente, hace la descomposicion del riesgo interbancario entre riesgo de default y no-default (liquidez). Los resultados sugieren que la crisis financiera tuvo importantes repercusiones en la estructura a plazos del riesgo interbancario y sus componentes: en los anos previos a la crisis y posterior a ella, el riesgo de default conducia el conportamiento del riesgo interbancario. Ademas, se encuentra que, a partir de la estructura a plazos de cada componente del riesgo interbancario, la crisis financiera se caracterizo por ser un problema mas de corto que de largo plazo, en contraste con la crisis del euro de 2010.

On balance, the final recommendation suggest that it is desirable to adopt policy alternatives as Community Centers, which are programs oriented to a social redistribution of the domestic work as a way to encourage women participation in the formal labor market with the social support of the members of their own community. The problem that the social policy needs to address is the segregation of women in the formal labor market in Colombia. Although the evidence shows that the women overcome the educational gap by showing better performance in education that their male peers, women are still segregated of the labor market. The persistence of high rates of unemployment on the female population, the prevalence of the informal labor market as a women labor market, and the presence of the payment difference between men and women with similar professional trainings are circumstances that sustain the segregation statement. These circumstances are inefficient for the society because an economic analysis shows that the cost of maintain the statu quo is externalized in the social security system that includes health, pension and maternity leave regimens. Therefore, the women segregation involves a market failure. This paper evaluates five policy alternatives each directed to the progress of a different causal dimension of the problem: (i) Quotas in the private market, (ii) Flexible working hours, (iii) replace the maternity leave with a family leave, (iv) Increase the Community Centers for redistributing the care work, and (v) Equal payment enforcement.
