Abstract:
AbstractThis paper aims to examine the application of the concept of feminism at the level of the American family through the analysis of a song entitled Dear Future Husband, sung by Meghan Trainor, an American singer. In analyzing this phenomenon the author uses the concept of feminism which is promoted by Kate Millett (1970) and mimetic approach. From the results of this study, it is found that in this song, the concept of feminism is still not fully applied in the family sphere. This is because women, as the subject of feminist understanding, still do not fully want this concept for themselves. Keywords: feminism, family, Meghan Traynor, America AbstrakMakalah ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji aplikasi konsep feminisme dalam tataran keluarga Amerika melalui analisa diskursi lagu berjudul Dear Future Husband yang dinyanyikan oleh Meghan Trainor, seorang penyanyi berkebangsaan Amerika.

Dari hasil penelitian ini, didapat bahwa pada pada lagu ini, konsep feminisme masih belum sepenuhnya diaplikasikan dalam lingkup keluarga. Hal ini dikarenakan perempuan, sebagai subyek dari paham feminis masih belum sepenuhnya menginginkan konsep tersebut bagi dirinya sendiri. Kata kunci : feminisme, keluarga, , Meghan Traynor, Amerika

Abstract:
This paper employs assimilation theory to examine the experiences of Chinese and Jewish immigrant women at similar stages of their encounters with America. By focusing on the letters in Dear Diane: Letters from Our Daughters (1983), and Dear Diane: Questions and Answers for Asian American Women (1983), and earlier in the century, the letters translated and printed in A Bintel Brief: Sixty Years of Letters from the Lower East Side to the Jewish Daily Forward (1971), this paper compares and contrasts the experiences of Chinese and Jewish women in America. It concludes that, though they have their own unique characteristics, both Chinese and Jewish women shared many common experiences, such as mother-daughter conflict and identity crisis, and both of them faced a difficult challenge in assimilating into American life.

Abstract:
Although many critics have read The Marble Faun (1850) as a dull European travelogue that conveniently and inappropriately ignores the issues facing pre-Civil War America, in fact, this novel does engage the questions about national identity posed by the antebellum era. The central argument of The Marble Faun is whether or not African Americans and Catholic immigrants can become full-fledged Americans. That most troublesome of characters, the either admirable or hypocritical Hilda, is so troublesome precisely because she is a nexus where American tensions over the formation of national identity during the antebellum period coalesce. She demonstrates the vulnerability of white, Protestant-American identity to the influence of other ethnic, religious, and racial identities, and her response to those various potential influences indicates how such threats or possibilities will be managed in the new nation. The novel decides that African Americans cannot be reconciled to society and included in the nation's future. American identity can resist the not entirely pernicious influence of Catholicism, but it cannot risk further contact with Africanist Others. However, The Marble Faun argues not that the shifting, complex, open American identity should be fixed, established, and rendered impenetrable to at least some outside forces; instead, it suggests that such a fixed identity, once achieved, will inevitably crumble under the weight of these excluded outside forces.

Abstract:
History
Ph.D.
'They Saw Themselves as Workers' explores the development of black membership in the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union (ILGWU) in the wake of the "Uprising of the 30,000" garment strike of 1933-34, as well as the establishment of independent black labor or labor-related organizations during the mid-late 1930s. The locus for the growth of black ILGWU membership was Harlem, where there were branches of Local 22, one of the largest and the most diverse ILGWU local. Harlem was also where the Negro Labor Committee (NLC) was established by Frank Crosswaith, a leading black socialist and ILGWU organizer. I provide some background, but concentrate on the aftermath of the marked increase in black membership in the ILGWU during the 1933-34 garment uprising and end in 1940, when blacks confirmed their support of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and when the labor-oriented National Negro Congress (NNC) was irrevocably split by struggles over communist influence. By that time, the NLC was also struggling, due to both a lack of support from trade unions and friendly organizations, as well as the fact that the Committee was constrained by the political views and personal grudges of its founder. Yet, during the period examined in "They Saw Themselves as Workers," the ILGWU and its Local 22 thrived. Using primary sources including the records of the ILGWU and various locals, the NLC, and the NNC, I argue that educational programming was largely responsible for the ILGWU's success during the 1930s, not political ideology, as others have argued. In fact, I assert that political ideology was often detrimental to organizations like the NLC and NNC, alienating many blacks during a period when they increasingly shifted their allegiance to the Democratic Party. Conversely, through educational programming that brought unionists of various racial and ethnic backgrounds together and celebrated their differences, the ILGWU assimilated new African American members and strengthened interracial working-class solidarity. That programming included such ostensibly apolitical activities as classes, dances, musical and theatrical performances, sporting events, and trips to resorts and places of cultural interest. Yet, by attracting workers who wanted to expand their minds and enjoy their lives outside of work to combat the misery of the Depression, the ILGWU cemented their devotion to the union and its agenda. Thus, through activities that were not overtly political, the ILGWU drew workers into the labor movement, and ultimately into the New Deal coalition in support of President Roosevelt and the Democratic Party. As the union flourished, part of an increasingly influential labor movement, it offered African American workers a better path to political power than the Negro Labor Committee or the National Negro Congress during the mid-late 1930s.

Abstract:
History
Ph.D.
Between the 1930s and mid-1980s, North Carolina became one of the most industrialized states in the country, with more factory workers, as a percentage of the total workforce, than any other state. And yet, North Carolina generally retained its rural complexion, with small factories dispersed throughout the countryside, instead of concentrated in large industrial cities. This dissertation asks two essential questions: first, how did this rural-industrial geography come to be, and second, what does the creation of this geography reveal about the state of the American political economy in the post-World War II era? I argue that rural industrialization was a central goal of North Carolina’s postwar political leaders and economic development officials. These industry hunters, as I call them, wanted to raise their state’s per capita income by recruiting manufacturers to develop or relocate operations in North Carolina. At the same time, they worried about developing large industrial cities or mill villages, associating them with class conflict, congestion, and a host of other ill-effects. In the hopes of attracting industry to its countryside, the state invested heavily in its secondary roads and highways, increasing the accessibility of rural communities. In their pursuit of rural industrialization, however, North Carolina also constructed a political economy that anticipated the collapse of the New Deal state. While historians typically see New Deal liberalism as the prevailing form of statecraft in the postwar United States, North Carolina achieved economic growth through a model that state officials termed “accessible isolation.” What accessible isolation meant was that North Carolina would provide industries with enough of a state apparatus to make operating a factory in a rural area possible, while maintaining policies of low taxes, limited regulations, and anti-unionism, to make those sites desirable. Essentially, industry hunters offered industrial prospects access to a supply of cheap rural labor, but isolation from the high wages, labor unions, government regulations, and progressive tax code that defined New Deal liberalism. Accessible isolation was attractive to businesses in postwar America because it offered a “business-friendly” alternative to the New Deal, and factories began sprouting throughout rural North Carolina. But the success of accessible isolation was built on a shaky foundation. Indeed, most of the employers persuaded by its promises were those in low-wage, labor-intensive industries, making North Carolina’s rural communities especially vulnerable to transformations in the global economy by the late twentieth century.

Abstract:
Mit der Namenforschung, der Sprachkontaktforschung und der Translatologie existieren drei Teilbereiche der Linguistik, die sich als solche seit einiger Zeit etabliert haben und zu denen ausgiebig geforscht wird. Doch obwohl diese drei Bereiche der Sprachwissenschaft stark interdisziplinär ausgerichtet sind, scheint die Problematik der Übersetzung von Eigennamen, welche zwischen diesen drei Bereichen diskutiert werden müsste, nur unzureichend erforscht worden zu sein. „Die Forschungslandschaft zu dem Thema“, so das internationale Handbuch zur Onomastik, ist „immer noch karg“ (Kalverkämper 1996, 1021). Da Eigennamen häufig als „semantisch reduziert“ oder „denotativ bedeutungslos“ (vgl. die Übersicht über die verschiedenen Forschungsstandpunkte zur Namensemantik in Kalverkämper 1978, 62-85) angesehen werden, hat ihnen die Übersetzungswissenschaft auch nicht besonders viel Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt. Zugespitzt formuliert werden Eigennamen im Allgemeinen unverändert übernommen, und wenn nicht, dann ziehe man eine Liste der Übersetzungen, wie jene der deutschen und spanischen Ländernamen von Martínez/Wotjak (1979) zu Hilfe. Die Namenforschung hingegen zeigt sich sehr interessiert an der Bedeutung der Namen, ihrer Geschichte und den Sprachkontakten, denen sie unterlagen. Dennoch scheinen die daraus hervorgegangenen Erkenntnisse nicht für Untersuchungen zur Problematik, wie in Texten und hierbei insbesondere bei Übersetzungen mit Eigennamen umzugehen ist, herangezogen worden zu sein. Auch die Antworten auf die Frage nach den Faktoren, die dazu führen, ob ein bestimmter Name aus anderen Sprachen unverändert übernommen, in irgendeiner Weise übersetzt oder gänzlich neu vergeben wird, beschränken sich häufig auf Kommentare wie „...liegen im pragmatischen Bereich und sind von Zufälligkeiten abhängig“ (Jäger/Jäger 1969, 110). Die Bedeutung dieser Problematik wird deutlich, wenn man sich vor Augen führt, dass fast jeder Text, der in der Praxis übersetzt wird, Eigennamen enthält. Gerade die im Studium häufig übersetzten Zeitungstexte sind durch eine große Fülle von Orts- und Personennamen gekennzeichnet, die nur dann kein Problem für den Übersetzer darstellen, wenn die benannten Personen und Dinge allgemein bekannt sind. Im Laufe meines Studiums ist mir jedoch aufgefallen, dass bei weniger bekannten Namen das mangelnde Bewusstsein über ihr Wesen selbst in wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten zu schwerwiegenden Fehlern führen kann. So haben bspw. trotz wissenschaftlicher Beschäftigung mit seinem Werk weder Prüfer Leske noch Beck bei der Übersetzung des von Alexander von Humboldt auf Französisch verfassten „Essai politique sur l’île de Cuba“ erkannt, dass Saint-Domingue und Santo-Domingo nicht die französische und die spanische Version desselben Ortes sind, sondern dass es sich einmal um die französische Kolonie im Westen und einmal um die spanische Kolonie im Osten der Insel Hispaniola handelt. Auch die Übersetzung eben jener Insel, im Französischen nach ihrem ursprünglichen (indigenen) Namen als Haïti bezeichnet, mit dt. Haiti wird den deutschen Leser eher an die heutige Republik Haiti denken lassen und ist somit äußerst problematisch (vgl. Humboldt 1992, 5-7 und Humboldt 2002, 57-60). Aus diesen Gründen halte ich es für wichtig, den Einfluss des Sprachkontakts auf die Vergabe und die Entwicklung von Eigennamen eingehender zu untersuchen und seine Auswirkungen auf die Übersetzungsproblematik zu klären. Die vorliegende Arbeit soll am Beispiel der Untersuchung eines bestimmten Sprachkontaktgebiets und ausgewählter Namenarten einen Beitrag dazu leisten. Gegenstand dieser Arbeit soll eine Untersuchung zur Übersetzung von Eigennamen sein. Damit eine solche Untersuchung jedoch im Rahmen einer Diplomarbeit und mit wissenschaftlicher Exaktheit durchgeführt werden kann, muss das Thema zwangsläufig weiter eingegrenzt werden. Die Wahl fiel dabei auf die Untersuchung von Ortsnamen in Amerika, die aus den im Folgenden dargelegten Gründen als günstiger Studiengegenstand erachtet werden: Die Beschränkung auf Ortsnamen liegt zunächst schon allein aus dem Grund nahe, dass sich die meisten bereits veröffentlichten Arbeiten zur Übersetzung von Eigennamen überwiegend oder ausschließlich mit Ortsnamen befassen. Dies hat jedoch konkrete Gründe, die auch bei dieser Arbeit dazu geführt haben, den Untersuchungsgegenstand auf Ortsnamen zu begrenzen. Zum Einen benennen Ortsnamen langlebigere Namenträger als bspw. Personen-, Erzeugnis oder Institutionsnamen. Zum Anderen sind Orte unbeweglich und haben zumeist einen Besitzer, so dass eine klare Zuordnung in einen Sprachraum oder ein Sprachkontaktgebiet möglich ist. Hinzu kommt, dass Ortsnamen seit frühester Zeit auf Karten, in Reiseberichten und in offiziellen Dokumenten verzeichnet wurden und dadurch historischen Untersuchungen zugänglich sind. Dieser hohe Grad an Vertextung macht sie schließlich für die ÜÜbersetzungswissenschaft besonders interessant, da er von ihrer Bedeutung in der schriftlichen Kommunikation zeugt. Örtlich soll die Untersuchung auf den amerikanischen Kontinent beschränkt werden, wobei selbstverständlich kein Anspruch auf eine vollständige namenkundliche Untersuchung desselben erhoben wird. Im Mittelpunkt des Interesses sollen insbesondere englische, französische und spanische Ortsnamen stehen, an einigen Stellen könnte jedoch auch die Untersuchung portugiesischer und niederländischer Namen notwendig sein. Die Möglichkeit der Untersuchung von Ortsnamen, die europäischen Sprachen entstammen, ist selbstverständlich auch eines der wichtigsten Argumente für die Wahl Amerikas als Untersuchungsgegenstand. Der entscheidende Vorteil gegenüber dem europäischen Kontinent ist dabei jedoch, dass der Großteil der heutigen Städte und Länder erst nach der Entdeckung Amerikas durch die Europäer entstanden ist, d.h. zu einem Zeitpunkt, als sich die europäischen Sprachen bereits in etwa in ihrer heutigen Form stabilisiert hatten und als durch die Erfindung der Druckerpresse bereits gute Möglichkeiten der Publikation und Verbreitung von Informationen bestand. Eine Untersuchung europäischer Toponyme hingegen würde die Kenntnis keltischer und altgermanischer Sprachen sowie des Griechischen, des Lateins und der Übergangsformen zu den verschiedenen romanischen Sprachen voraussetzen. Während in Amerika historisch meist hinreichend geklärt ist, welche Sprache zu welchem Zeitpunkt an einem bestimmten Ort vorherrschend war und wann bestimmte Siedlungen entstanden oder andere geographische Einheiten benannt worden sind, liegen die Ursprünge vieler europäischer Namen nach wie vor im Dunkeln, da die großen Bewegungen der Völkerwanderung und der Quellenmangel viel Raum für Fehlinterpretationen lassen. In Amerika ist demgegenüber leicht zu erkennen, welche Namen auf indigene Sprachen zurückgehen und welche erst zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt entstanden sein können. Durch den kolonialen Wettstreit der europäischen Mächte ist zudem gegeben, dass ein intensiver Sprachkontakt vorlag, der vor allem in Gebieten wie der Karibik zur Verbreitung der Ortsnamen in verschiedenen Sprachen beigetragen hat. Daher ist zu erwarten, dass in der vorliegenden Arbeit klare Erkenntnisse darüber gewonnen werden können, was mit Ortsnamen geschieht, wenn sie in andere Sprachen übergehen und wie sich dies auf ihre heutige Übersetzung auswirkt. In der vorliegenden Arbeit sollen bestehende Erkenntnisse zur Übersetzung von Eigennamen analysiert und anhand der Untersuchung amerikanischer Ortsnamen erweitert werden. Eine Grundüberzeugung ist dabei, dass bei der Übersetzung von Eigennamen die Geschichte der Namenträger und insbesondere der Sprachkontakt, dem sie unterlagen, eine wichtige Rolle spielen. Aus diesem Grund sollen in einem theoretischen Teil zunächst Berührungspunkte zwischen den Phänomenen „Sprache“ und „Geschichte“ gefunden werden, um eine sprach- und geschichtswissenschaftlich fundierte Untersuchung zu ermöglichen (siehe Kapitel 2.1.). Die Beschäftigung mit Eigennamen setzt zudem eine Erörterung der Grundlagen der Namenforschung voraus, insbesondere ihrer interdisziplinären Ausrichtung (siehe Kapitel 2.2.1.1.) und der Namenarten (siehe Kapitel 2.2.1.2.). Daraufhin soll die Bedeutung des Sprachkontakts für die Namenforschung erläutert werden (siehe Kapitel 2.2.2.), um im Anschluss daran konkrete Beispiele bereits bearbeiteter Problemfelder der amerikanischen Toponymie zu geben (siehe Kapitel 2.2.3.) und so die Grundlagen der empirischen Untersuchung im zweiten Teil dieser Arbeit zu legen. An die Darstellung der bereits vorhandenen Arbeiten zur Übersetzung von Eigennamen (siehe Kapitel 2.3.) können dann auf Basis der erarbeiteten Grundlagen auf den Gebieten der Geschichte, des Sprachkontakts und der Namenforschung sich aus der Analyse dieser Arbeiten ergebende Probleme erörtert werden. Dies ermöglicht die anschließende Konkretisierung der Zielstellung (siehe Kapitel 2.4.) und die Erarbeitung einer geeigneten Vorgehensweise zur Untersuchung der Ortsnamen in Amerika im empirischen Teil dieser Arbeit (siehe Kapitel 3.). Die Bedeutung der dort gewonnenen Erkenntnisse für den Übersetzer soll dann in einem Schlussteil (siehe Kapitel 4.) zusammengefasst und im Sinne der Zielstellung dieser Arbeit ausgewertet werden.

Abstract:
Many Deaf people today consider themselves a linguistic minority with a culture distinct from the mainstream hearing society. This is in large part because they communicate through an independent language——American Sign Language (ASL). However, two hundreds years ago, sign language was a “common language” for communication between hearing and deaf people within the institutional framework of “manualism.” Manualism is a pedagogical system of sign language introduced mainly from France in order to buttress the campaign for deaf education in the early-19th-century America. In 1817, a hearing man Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet (1787-1851) and a deaf Frenchman Laurent Clerc (1785-1869) co-founded the first residential school for the deaf in Hartford, Connecticut. These early manualists shaped sign language within the evangelical framework of “moral government.” They believed that the divine origin of signs would lead the spiritual redemption of people who could not hear. Inside manual institutions, the religiously defined practice of signing, which claimed to transform the “heathen deaf” into being the “signing Christian,” enabled the process of assimilation into a shared “signing community.” The rapid expansion of manual institutions hence fostered a strong and separate deaf culture that continues to influence today’s deaf communities in the United States. However, social reformers in the mid-nineteenth century who advocated “oralism” perceived manualism as a threat to social integration. “Oralists” pursued a different model of deaf education in the 1860s, campaigning against sign language and hoping to replace it entirely with the skills in lip-reading and speech. The exploration of this tension leads to important questions: Were people who could not hear “(dis)abled” in the religious context of the early United States? In what ways did the manual institutions train students to become “able-bodied” citizens? How did this religiously framed pedagogy come to terms with the “hearing line” in the mid 19th century? In answering these questions, this dissertation analyzes the early history of manual education in relation to the formation and diffusion of religious governmentality, a topic that continues to influence deaf culture to this day.

Abstract:
Gertrude Weil was raised in a multicultural household. Her father and grandparents had joined the Bavarian and Wurttemberg Jewish immigrant tide to America after the failed 1848 revolutions. From Baltimore they followed rail lines southward to North Carolina. They quickly acculturated as southerners, including Confederate service in the Civil War. Settling in a New South mill and market town, they rose from clerks and peddlers to successful mercantilists and entrepreneurs. Gertrude was raised amidst affluence, with white racial privilege, and benefitted from the progressive public school movement. Weils were also observant Jews, and her parents as congregational leaders imbued her with the ethics of Reform Judaism. Her identities as an emancipated Jew, cultured German, and progressive New Southerner were consonant.

Abstract:
Not long ago I sat under the cedar of Lebanon planted in 1734 by Bernard de Jussieu while you and everyone in the garden looked on. It is a huge, wide tree now, its lush needles and spreading branches providing welcome shade to visitors at the Jardin des Plantes as your beautiful park is now called. This gigantic evergreen, shaped like a little pyramid when you saw it but luxuriously broad and open now, outlived you and will long outlive me. Other trees planted centuries ago are still here too: I recognized an Acacia, grown from seed originating in my part of the world, North America, which was already here in your day, and there is the tall Sophora Japonica, transplanted in 1747 by Bernard de Jussieu, again while you all watched, from the Place Dauphine where it first took root. Next to the cedar is the Labyrinth, a tall hill with rows of hedges in rising circular paths that take you around and up to the gazebo at the top, one of the oldest metal constructions in the world built at Buffon’s orders and from which one can see all of Paris. I strolled through the majestic avenues of plane trees, for which we also have Buffon to thank, and enjoyed the famous banks of roses, irises, and peonies, picturing you bent over them as you sketched and painted. The Jardin Alpin, the materials for which were accumulated during your day, is now a secluded space for plants from mountain climates that you can only get to through a tunnel passage. The big old pistachio tree, grown out of seeds from China and still there, fascinated an earlier Jardin botanist, Sébastien Vaillant, who figured out—by observing its sterility until he mingled its flowers with those of another tree of the same species—that plants reproduce sexually just like animals. He was the first to introduce terms like male, female, and ovary into discussions of floral anatomy. This nomenclature initially created a scandal but was soon picked up by Linnaeus, whom you met in the garden in 1738 and for whom plant sexuality was central. He wrote and spoke freely about it with you and Bernard de Jussieu. It wasn’t shocking anymore....

Lazonick, William, and Matt Hopkins. Why the CHIPS Are Down: Stock Buybacks and Subsidies in the U.S. Semiconductor Industry. Institute for New Economic Thinking Working Paper Series, September 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.36687/inetwp165.

Full text
Abstract:
The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) is promoting the Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors (CHIPS) for America Act, introduced in Congress in June 2020. An SIA press release describes the bill as “bipartisan legislation that would invest tens of billions of dollars in semiconductor manufacturing incentives and research initiatives over the next 5-10 years to strengthen and sustain American leadership in chip technology, which is essential to our country’s economy and national security.” On June 8, 2021, the Senate approved $52 billion for the CHIPS for America Act, dedicated to supporting the U.S. semiconductor industry over the next decade. As of this writing, the Act awaits approval in the House of Representatives. This paper highlights a curious paradox: Most of the SIA corporate members now lobbying for the CHIPS for America Act have squandered past support that the U.S. semiconductor industry has received from the U.S. government for decades by using their corporate cash to do buybacks to boost their own companies’ stock prices. Among the SIA corporate signatories of the letter to President Biden, the five largest stock repurchasers—Intel, IBM, Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, and Broadcom—did a combined $249 billion in buybacks over the decade 2011-2020, equal to 71 percent of their profits and almost five times the subsidies over the next decade for which the SIA is lobbying. In addition, among the members of the Semiconductors in America Coalition (SIAC), formed specifically in May 2021 to lobby Congress for the passage of the CHIPS for America Act, are Apple, Microsoft, Cisco, and Google. These firms spent a combined $633 billion on buybacks during 2011-2020. That is about 12 times the government subsidies provided under the CHIPS for America Act to support semiconductor fabrication in the United States in the upcoming decade. If the Congress wants to achieve the legislation’s stated purpose of promoting major new investments in semiconductors, it needs to deal with this paradox. It could, for example, require the SIA and SIAC to extract pledges from its member corporations that they will cease doing stock buybacks as open-market repurchases over the next ten years. Such regulation could be a first step in rescinding Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 10b-18, which has since 1982 been a major cause of extreme income inequality and loss of global industrial competitiveness in the United States.

Katz, Sabrina, Miguel Algarin, and Emanuel Hernandez. Structuring for Exit: New Approaches for Private Capital in Latin America. Inter-American Development Bank, March 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.18235/0003074.

Full text
Abstract:
Structured financing solutions encompass a range of investment approaches that provide liquidity to investors without the need for a traditional equity exit event, such as a strategic sale, sale to another financial investor, or public market listing. Structuring mechanisms across the debt-to-equity spectrum determine the exit terms of the deal, therefore providing considerable downside protection to investors. Structured financing solutions are an incipient but increasingly important set of tools for investors active in Latin America to address the financing gap for companies that lack access to bank financing and are not attractive targets for traditional PE and VC players. Many investors employing these strategies are in an experimental phase, reporting new lessons learned with each deal completed. Impact investors have been among the top drivers of these structuring innovations, as they have grappled with the additional limitations associated with the straight equity model for environmental or social enterprises. However, the use of structured financing is by no means restricted to the impact investing space. Fund managers have invested USD4b in private credit deals in Latin America since 2018, more than the previous ten years combined. PE and VC investors have also increasingly employed quasi-equity and debt instruments. ACON Investments, for example, has employed mezzanine structures in several deals from its latest funds. Brazil-focused venture capital firm SP Ventures has recently begun investing from its debut venture debt fund. Growing experimentation by fund managers demonstrates the opportunity for investors across ticket sizes, strategies, and the impact-to-commercial spectrum. The structures discussed and the case studies highlighted in this report contain some of the major lessons applicable to a wide group of private capital investors in Latin America targeting certain and timely exits with consistent returns.

Abstract:
Latin American governments swiftly implemented income assistance programs to sustain families' livelihoods during COVID-19 stay-at-home orders. This paper analyzes the potential coverage and generosity of these measures and assesses the suitability of current safety nets to deal with unexpected negative income shocks in 10 Latin American countries. The expansion of pre-existing programs (most notably conditional cash transfers and non-contributory pensions) during the COVID-19 crisis was generally insufficient to compensate for the inability to work among the poorest segments of the population. When COVID-19 ad hoc programs are analyzed, the coverage and replacement rates of regular labor income among households in the first quintile of the country's labor income distribution increase substantially. Yet, these programs present substantial coverage challenges among families composed of fundamentally informal workers who are non-poor, but are at a high risk of poverty. These results highlight the limitations of the fragmented nature of social protection systems in the region.

Full text
Abstract:
The convergence of a favorable macroeconomic environment and high prices of primary commodities between 2000 and 2011 contributed to the best performance of agriculture in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) since the 1980s, with steady growth of total factor productivity (TFP) and output per worker and a reduction in the use of input per worker. The end of the upward phase of the commodity cycle in 2011 together with less favorable external markets and a deterioration of the policy environment in several countries, motivates us to revisit the situation of agriculture in LAC in recent years to analyze how these changes have affected its performance. This study applies a framework that uses index numbers together with data envelopment analysis (DEA) to estimate levels of productivity and efficiency, incorporating technical change together with technical (TE) and environmental efficiency (EE) into the decomposition of TFP. The EE index adjusts the TFP measure for pollution, treating GHG emissions as a by-product of the desired crop or livestock outputs. TFP and efficiency of crop and livestock sub-sectors was calculated for 24 LAC countries from 2000 to 2016. Our results show that the period of fast agricultural growth in LAC, driven by technical change and resource reallocation, transformed agriculture in the region leaving it in a better position to cope with the more unfavorable regional macroeconomic environment and the less dynamic global markets observed after 2011.
