Abstract:
This article examines the recent tradition of decorating and re-fashioning graduation caps, also known as mortarboards, by Chicanx/Latinx graduates. We describe this practice as StoryBoarding, a form of micro-storytelling tales of Chicana/Latina agency and resistance that counter, expose, and challenge institutionalized forms of racism. Many instances of StoryBoarding take place in the context of Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSI), specifically during the Chicanx/Latinx graduation commencement ceremonies held at many campuses. While these events are celebratory, these past few years, alongside the celebrations, the ceremonies have also become spaces of critique and proclamation of the graduates’ views towards the current administration’s policies aimed at undocumented immigrants and people of Mexican and Latin American descent.

Abstract:
The women’s struggle as articulated by women of the Zapatista movement in their Women’s Revolutionary Law is an insurgent, revolutionary, rebel, and autonomous feminism—a feminism in dialogue with popular feminisms in Latin America such as peasant and popular feminism and communitarian feminism. La lucha articulada por las mujeres del movimiento zapatista en su Ley Revolucionaria de la Mujer constituye un feminismo insurgente, revolucionario, rebelde y autónomo. Es también un feminismo en diálogo con otros feminismos populares en América Latina, tales como el feminismo campesino y popular y el feminismo comunitario.

Abstract:
Trainees were encouraged to tell a mythological story to the class, lasting about ten minutes. They could use props and other visual aids if they wished, but the emphasis was for them to practise speaking before the class, using prompt cards if necessary, and employing all the techniques of a professional oral ‘poet’ – such as gesture, eye contact, tone of voice and so on. There is obviously considerable general interest among younger students about mythology. Locally, interest is captured by the Cambridge School Classics project which puts on an annual Ovid Mythology competition and the website War with Troy is used by several of the schools where trainees are placed. Its use as a stimulus for learning has been well-documented by its author and past PGCE subject lecturer Bob Lister (2005, 2007) and by Walker (2018), a former teacher trainee from the faculty. Some of the Latin textbooks such as Minimus (Bell, 1999) and Suburani (Hands-Up Education, 2020) contain myth episodes and are familiar to the teacher trainees. The GCSE and A Level qualifications often contain mythological subject matter. Khan-Evans (2018) has shown how older students of Classics have retained deep-rooted affection for mythological stories in their earlier schooldays. Research into the power of mythological storytelling as a stimulus for learning, creative arts and even therapy is current, as the Our Mythical Childhood project (2020) has demonstrated. A book of the project's work is eagerly anticipated next year. The recent Troy exhibition at the British Museum has also awoken considerable interest.

Abstract:
El presente artículo pretende llevar a cabo una revisión de un conjunto de textos escritos en un momento muy particular y fugaz en el marxismo latinoamericano. Nos referimos a un cúmulo de producciones que se llevaron a cabo en la bisagra de los años setenta y ochenta. Hablamos de un contexto de derrota para los sectores subalternos, luego del proceso de avance popular ocurrido en la región durante los años sesenta y la primera mitad de los setenta. En ese cruce de décadas, tras la irradiación de los estudios sobre la dependencia en América Latina, las preocupaciones de tales enfoques se intersectan con una indagación en torno del fenómeno estatal. En estas páginas realizaremos una revisión de dicho momento de reflexión teórica, a partir del análisis de algunos trabajos de cuatro figuras del marxismo latinoamericano: Norbert Lechner (alemán, naturalizado chileno), Agustín Cueva (ecuatoriano), René Zavaleta (boliviano) y Marcos Kaplan (argentino). Palabras Clave: Estado, dependencia, marxismo, América Latina. THEORIES OF DEPENDENCE AND THE QUESTION OF THE STATE IN LATIN AMERICA: CRITICAL (AND AUTOCRITICAL) REFLECTIONS IN THE HINGE OF THE SEVENTIES AND EIGHTIES YEARS This article aims to carry out a review of a set of texts written at a very particular and fleeting moment in Latin American Marxism. We refer to the number of productions that took place at the frontier of the seventies and eighties. We are meaning a context of defeat for the subaltern sectors, after the process of popular advance in the region occurred during the sixties and the first half of the seventies. In this hinge of decades, after the irradiation of studies on dependency in Latin America, the concerns of such approaches intersect with an inquiry about the state phenomenon and its Latin American specificity. In these pages, we will review this moment of theoretical reflection, by the analysis of some work of four figures of Latin American Marxism: Norbert Lechner (German, Chilean naturalized), Agustín Cueva (Ecuadorian), René Zavaleta (Bolivian) and Marcos Kaplan (Argentinian). Keywords: State, dependency, Marxism, Latin America.

Full text
Abstract:
Insurance companies transfer parts of the risk, they assume from their policyholders, to reinsurers. Underwriting reinsurance business is the process of relocating risks from an insurer to a reinsurer. A reinsurance business is considered to be in run-off, if the reinsurer discontinues to underwrite it. Various active run-off management approaches address the issue of such legacy business. The content of this paper covers the development and implementation of a specific run-off management project at the reinsurance company, Swiss Re, called the commutation initiative for small reserve value business in Latin America. In general terms, commutations are an instrument to prematurely terminate contracts. To reach a commutation agreement, the contractual counterparts negotiate a compensative payment, derived from the remaining contract value. By transferring this commutation payment, all contractual obligations are ceased and the contract reaches finality. This paper describes the prioritization of the initiative within the Swiss Re project landscape, the definition of the project scope, the estimated impact of macroeconomic factors and the valuation technique used for the calculation of commutation offers.
(cont.) Based on the mentioned aspects, the paper contains reasonable expectations on the project performance and potential. Finally the paper contains the evaluation of the initiative, discussing the reasonableness of the project targets and the adequacy of the project approach for the specific situation at Swiss Re as well as the suitability of the process structure and the performance measures. The content of this paper also includes the assessment of the project´s impact on operations, especially concerning run-off administration costs. A final judgement on the project performance cannot be rendered yet, as the project is still in progress. The indications displayed in this paper suggest, that further research and future initiatives should focus on improving the accounting system and contract structuring in order to reduce the occurrence of run-off contracts. .

Abstract:
In the globalized world of today a well-elaborated, long-term oriented nation branding strategy which includes the government, the public and the private sector as well as the nation´s citizens themselves can help nations to improve and to better control their nation image. Nation branding activities increase the countries´ competitiveness in the global marketplace and help to foster the tourism arrivals, inward foreign direct investment flows and exports as well as they help to attract talented workforce and students. Despite its growing importance, most Latin American countries still have not engaged enough in the area of nation branding and mostly only focus their activities on the tourism promotion. The region´s countries have a good image regarding soft factors such as their people and tourism attractions but have a weak image regarding their products, services and investment opportunities. Brazil has a relatively good nation image in many dimensions but still has not developed an extensive nation branding strategy. Chile and Colombia are among the Latin American countries which have started to conduct more complete and advanced nation branding activities. Although such advances can be observed, there is still a lot of improvement potential in the nation branding practices of Latin American countries.

Abstract:
This thesis places Chaucer within the tradition of philosophical poetry that begins in Plato and extends through classical and medieval Latin culture. In this Platonic tradition, poetry is a self-reflexive epistemological practice that interrogates the conditions of art in general. As such, poetry as metapoetics takes itself as its own object of inquiry in order to reinforce and generate its own definitions without regard to extrinsic considerations. It attempts to create a poetic-knowledge proper instead of one that is dependant on other modes for meaning. The particular manner in which this is expressed is according to the idea of the loss of the Golden Age. In the Augustinian context of Chaucer’s poetry, language, in its literal and historical signifying functions is an effect of the noetic fall and a deformation of an earlier symbolism. The Chaucerian poems this thesis considers concern themselves with the solution to a historical literary lament for language’s fall, a solution that suggests that the instability in language can be overcome with reference to what has been lost in language. The chapters are organized to reflect the medieval Neoplatonic ascensus. The first chapter concerns the Pardoner’s Old Man and his relationship to the literary history of Tithonus in which the renewing of youth is ironically promoted in order to perpetually delay eternity and make the current world co-eternal to the coming world. In the Miller’s Tale, more aggressive narrative strategies deploy the machinery of atheism in order to make a god-less universe the sufficient grounds for the transformation of a fallen and contingent world into the only world whatsoever. The Manciple’s Tale’s opposite strategy leaves the world intact in its current state and instead makes divine beings human. Phoebus expatriates to earth and attempts to co-mingle it with heaven in order to unify art and history into a single monistic experience. Finally, the Nun’s Priest’s Tale acts as ars poetica for the entire Chaucerian Performance and undercuts the naturalistic strategies of the first three poems by a long experiment in the philosophical conflict between art and history. By imagining art and history as epistemologically antagonistic it attempts to subdue in a definitive manner poetic strategies that would imagine human history as the necessary knowledge-condition for poetic language.

Abstract:
The main objective of this study is to expose the corporative income taxation granted by the legislations of different Latin American countries, trying to identify and analyze trends that  emerge  from  such  treatment. This paper does not intend to make a critical or comprehensive analysis of the corporative income taxation. This paper identifies the most important issues of the resident’s income taxation, deductible expenses, non-resident taxation and withholdings, and the anti-avoidance measures introduced by the domestic legislation of Latin American countries in order to avoid the base erosion.
El principal objetivo del presente trabajo es exponer el tratamiento del impuesto a la renta corporativo que otorgan las diferentes legislaciones de los países de Latinoamérica, procurando identificar y analizar las tendencias que de dicho tratamiento surgen; sin pretender hacer un análisis crítico ni exhaustivo de las mismas. Se identifican los aspectos más importantes del impuesto a la renta de los residentes, los gastos deducibles, los aspectos vinculados a la tributación de los no residentes, así como las medidas defensivas introducidas por las legislaciones domésticas que los Estados se han visto en la necesidad de implementar unilateralmente a fin de evitar laerosión de la base.

Abstract:
This study deals with the issue of democratization in Latin America during the 20th century, and in particular the role of the left in this process. The purpose of this study is to empirically analyze the role of the left as a political actor in the process of democratization toward the deepening of the democratic rule in Latin America. The research questions are: what role did the left have in the transitions to electoral democracies during the 20th century in Latin America? Why did the left have the role it had in the transitions? How does the left’s view of democracy affect the transition to electoral democracy, and the further democratization to deepen democratic rule? What structural constraints affect the left’s ability to deepen democratic rule? A comparative qualitative method and different theoretical concepts of democracy, democratization, elite perspective, mobilization and organizations have been used, and examples from different Latin American cases are given. One empirical conclusion is that the role of the left in the transitions to electoral democracies varies from participation with active left leaders, collective left actions, to not have any significant role at all. A second empirical conclusion is that in cases where left wing governments have tried to enforce a model of participatory democracy, the result has been “ coup d’état” or rebellions conducted by military forces and supported by the economic elite and the United States of America. In other cases when left parties in government instead have remained within the framework of an elite democracy, the result has rather been stabilization of the liberal democratic rule. The main theoretical conclusions are as follows: the theoretical discussion about democratic consolidation and the deepening of democracy have to consider that different actors’ (in this study the left) preferences for various models of democracy differ; the actors’ view of democracy matter in the game of democratic development and democratic consolidation; and the relations between the elite actors’ preferences for different models of democracy determine the outcome of a specific form of democratic model (in this study electoral democracy, liberal democracy or participatory democracy).

Abstract:
The following thesis analyzes why is the democratic rule of law stronger in Uruguay than in Mexico? This work focuses on the state of the democratic rule of law in Mexico and Uruguay. The premise of this thesis is that there is a gap in the literature on causes that have historically made Uruguay the country with the strongest democratic rule of law in Latin America and Mexico one with the weakest democratic rule of law. Historical institutionalism is used to see how the evolution of the sequencing of political regimes as well as the evolution of civil-military relations in the two countries may explain the divergent outcomes. Emphasizing path-dependency, this analysis is conducted using a methodology of process-tracing. This research serves to put forward propositions in the form of a testable hypothesis on the causes that have led Mexico and Uruguay down different paths when it comes to the democratic rule of law. It also serves to fill a gap in the literature as cross-national differences on rule of law in Latin America have not been sufficiently well-explained.

Abstract:
Probabilistic seismic soil-structure interaction (SSI) analysis was performed for the Mu¨hleberg Nuclear Power Plant Reactor and SUSAN Buildings in support of the seismic probabilistic saftety assessment of the plant. An efficient hybrid method, employing computer programs SASSI2000 and CLASSI presented in a companion paper, was used in this analysis. The method takes advantage of the capability of SASSI2000 to analyze embedded structures with irregular geometry and the computational efficiency of CLASSI to rapidly perform the SSI response analysis of large structure models. Fixed base finite element models of the buildings were first developed from which the structure geometry, nodal masses, natural frequencies, and mode shapes were extracted. The structure embedments were modeled using SASSI2000. Impedance functions and scattering vectors were calculated by imposing rigid body constraints to the embedded foundation. The fixed base structure dynamic properties and the foundation impedances and scattering functions were input to CLASSI to perform the response analysis. The probabilistic analysis was performed following the Latin Hypercube Simulation (LHS) approach documented in NUREG/CR-2015. Variables defined by probability distributions were sampled according to a stratified sampling approach. The combination of the parameters for each simulation was determined by Latin Hypercube experimental design. Variables in the LHS included the earthquake ground acceleration time histories, structure stiffness and damping, and soil stiffness and damping. Thirty response simulations were performed using CLASSI in which the variable values were randomly selected. The use of CLASSI has the advantage that the response analysis simulations can be executed in a fraction of the time that would be required with SASSI2000 alone. For each simulation, in-structure response spectra (ISRS) were calculated at selected locations in the buildings. Probabilistic distributions, described by the median and 84th percentile response spectra, were calculated from the thirty simulations. The probabilistic ISRS are subsequently used in the seismic fragility evaluations of selected essential equipment.

Abstract:
The house, as a formal and functional type, also provides a basic container for culture and for meaning. Its form will not be altered casually, and when people do undertake to change their houses, those changes will undoubtedly signify other changes in their cultural and social world. Along the U.S./Mexico border, the unique political geography of the borderlands allows people to build their own housing on a broad scale - in other words, to build vernacular housing. This building takes place in colonias - outside the constraints of urban zoning and building codes - by a largely Latino and immigrant population.

Abstract:
Abstract In Situ Combustion is an enhanced oil recovery method which consists on injecting air to the reservoir, generating a series of oxidation reactions at different temperature ranges by chemical interaction between oil and oxygen, the high temperature oxidation reactions are highly exothermic; the oxygen reacts with a coke like material formed by thermal cracking, they are responsible of generating the heat necessary to sustain and propagate the combustion front, sweeping the heavy oil and upgrading it due to the high temperatures. Wet in situ combustion is variant of the process, in which water is injected simultaneously or alternated with air, taking advantage of its high heat capacity, so the steam can transport heat more efficiently forward the combustion front due to the latent heat of vaporization. A representative model of the in situ combustion process is constituted by a static model, a dynamic model and a kinetic model. The kinetic model represents the oxidative behavior and the compositional changes of the crude oil; it is integrated by the most representative reactions of the process and the corresponding kinetic parameters of each reaction. Frequently, the kinetic model for a dry combustion process has Low Temperature Oxidation reactions (LTO), thermal cracking reactions and the combustion reaction. For the case of wet combustion, additional aquathermolysis reactions take place. This article presents a full review of the kinetic models of the wet in situ combustion process taking into account aquathermolysis reactions. These are hydrogen addition reactions due to the chemical interaction between crude oil and steam. The mechanism begins with desulphurization reactions and subsequent decarboxylation reactions, which are responsible of carbon monoxide production, which reacts with steam producing carbon dioxide and hydrogen; this is the water and gas shift reaction. Finally, during hydrocracking and hydrodesulphurization reactions, hydrogen sulfide is generated and the crude oil is upgraded. An additional upgrading mechanism during the wet in situ combustion process can be explained by the aquathermolysis theory, also hydrogen sulphide and hydrogen production can be estimated by a suitable kinetic model that takes into account the most representative reactions involved during the combustion process.

Abstract:
In order to have an optimized NVH design concept, the design engineers must exchange during the development a lot of attributes that together defines the new engine NVH performance. Moreover, each engine NVH system performance is dependent of many variables. In this respect, 6-Sigma methodology (DMAIC and DCOV) is an excellent tool to support engineers to evaluate systems variables and achieve the required performance. Engine mount brackets’ vibrations have high priority for the NVH performance of the powertrain. Effects of major components on the engine mount vibrations come up as a major topic whenever an error state takes place and improvement is required. This study aims to identify the effect of engine block, ladderframe, head and transmission stiffness and mass properties on 2EO acceleration levels of the 4 cylinder engine power train. Dynamic analysis will be performed under the kinematic engine loadings. There are 2 steps for identifying the objective. The first step is to eliminate the factors which has not significant main and cross effect on engine mount vibrations. Full factorial DOE runs with two levels are performed for this purpose. Hyperstudy tool is used for the DOE design, simulation automation and post processing. After defining the effective factors, 256 Latin Hypercube DOE runs are performed to obtain response surfaces and meta–model. DOE runs are done in Hyperstudy, results are exported to enCORE and transfer functions are calculated by Kriging method. According to the results, a proposed course of action for engine mounts’ accelerations DOE study is prepared and a methodology for this course is executed.

Abstract:
Abstract We describe a design process recording method and a prototype implementation. They are being developed from data on several design projects, including an in-depth study of a 6-month long design effort, itself part of a multi-year aerospace research and design project. The work is also influenced by the larger context of other design research projects at Stanford. The recording method focuses on information generated in early stages of design that is at the same time easiest to capture and most useful to designers and engineers downstream. It does this by being based primarily on a design process model intended to reflect a designer’s point of view, and by taking advantage of practices that designers currently find useful. The method builds on the concept of an electronic notebook that has been described previously (Lakin et al., 1989). The record consists of connected pieces of information about the various concepts, notes, and documents that are central to an evolving design. We call the framework for the record a hypergraph: ‘graph’ because of its node-arc structure, and ‘hyper’ because it spans several types of information that are created during design work. To effectively convey the record’s contents to a downstream user, we propose a design story-teller style: the system’s response to a query takes the form of a storyboard of notes about related design episodes.

Full text
Abstract:
The blade attachment, both dovetail or fir-tree, transfers the centrifugal load from the blade to the disc, generating high mean and peak stresses in notches as well as on contact surfaces. Hence, the strength of the attachment is one of the main concern of the designers for improving the performance of the engine and several optimization procedure have been put forward to minimize the state of stress in the attachment for a given centrifugal load. The optimization process is generally driven by a parametric model. The selection of the proper parameters and their variation ranges represent one of the main issues for the process to converge in a reasonable amount of time. Simulation methods and optimization algorithms have been improved a lot in the past years. Nevertheless, the computational effort of the finite element analysis involved in the optimization procedure of complex geometries remains a critical task. Moreover, an accurate evaluation of the local contact stresses is highly dependent on the mesh refinement, increasing the computing time of the whole optimization process. Moreover, a multi-objective optimization, in addition to robustness design approach, is the designer tool to improve the attachment performance. The searching domain reduction of the optimization process improves the computational performance reducing the convergence time of the solution. To achieve this goal, a preliminary selection of the design space has been performed by means of an analytical approach. This paper describes a new design criterion based on one dimensional approach. The criterion has been implemented in an in-house tool that takes faster decisions, if compared with a two or a three dimensional model, about the number of possible feasible solutions. During the geometrical optimization phase of the blade fir-tree attachment, in which a parametric model is used, the authors try to handle the geometrical non-feasibility with a combination of Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) and an adaptive penalty method. The optimization is done via the genetic algorithm and the computational time of the reduced domain is compared with the original one.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper describes a design point study of different power generation systems using the gasification of sugar cane bagasse, which produces a low calorific value fuel. The biomass gasification is viewed as a process of drying the solid fuel and heating it up before the gasification reactions take place. The process is represented by equilibrium conditions. Varying pressure, temperature and feed composition in the gasifier controls the fuel gas composition. Five alternative arrangements of an integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) power plant have been analysed using the exergy method. These alternatives comprise a combined gas / steam cycle using a simple gas turbine and also a reheat gas turbine, a combined gas / air cycle using a simple gas turbine and also a reheat gas turbine, and a combined gas / air / freon cycle using a reheat gas turbine. The combined gas / steam cycles are more efficient rather than the combined gas / air cycles. Using a reheat gas turbine at the topping cycle of the combined cycles analysed contribute to increase the overall plant exergetic efficiency. The exergy analysis has been carried out along with the performance assessment of power plants and takes into account the irreversibility of their components and the exhaust losses. The gasifier is the component of the power plant that destroys maximum exergy. Three computer codes have been developed. One of them has the ability of simulating the thermodynamic properties of the low calorific value fuel in the gasification process and the other two are related to the performance analysis of the different power cycles using the exergy method. The production of energy from the gasification of sugar cane bagasse has been of increasing importance to the Brazilian energetic matrix. This paper has been focused on the GEOPHILES - αlfa Programme, a project to train Latin America engineers on biomass gasification for power generation. The Commission of Energy of the European Community has supported this project.

Ahmed, U. "Optimized Shale Resource Development: Balance Between Technology and Economic Considerations." In SPE Energy Resources Conference. SPE, 2014. http://dx.doi.org/10.2118/spe-169984-ms.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Shale resource development technology is being improved and optimized over the last decade as the industry has seen a sharp rise in production and IP rates in North America and most recently from Europe and Australia while initial activities are on the rise in Latin America, Middle East and China. Despite such improvements, if one takes a closer look at the performance of the wells, one will find that not all wells are producing commercially and for that matter even wells that are producing commercially not all hydraulic fracture stages are contributing. This scenario is further compounded with the fact that unconventional resource development has a narrow profit margin for the E&P operators and in turn for the service industry. The industry needs to focus on the balance between efficient deployment of fit-for-purpose technology with strict economics in mind. This conundrum potentially suggests that when dealing with shale resource one is faced with sweet spot identification in a basin / field and at the same time moving away from geometric (say every 250 ft.) selection of hydraulic fracture stages and placing stages where appropriate from a productivity point of view. This paper documents certain well defined criterion used to identify the sweet spot location within a field / basin for the optimal well placement. We further document the vital formation / zone characteristic related information that can define the placement for hydraulic fracture stages and thus move away from the arbitrary geometric placement. Such an optimized plan can allow placement of productive wells and frac stages and thereby enhancing productivity and reducing well drilling and stimulation expenses. The key is effective cost reduction. The paper illustrates the well placement optimization process through a combination of seismic attribute analysis combined with petrophysical and geochemical analysis via core and geophysical log measurements. The hydraulic fracture stage placement relies on the need to understand existing natural fracture system through geophysical log measurements and the interaction between the created hydraulic bi-wing tensile fracture and the surrounding shear fractures. The paper concludes by presenting examples from three basins demonstrating the practical application of the methodology.

Abstract:
In recent years, Latin America has seen the introduction of innovative pay-for-success mechanisms to fund social programs, including Social Impact Bonds (SIBs) and Development Impact Bonds (DIBs), outcome-based contracts that incorporate the use of private financing from investors to cover the upfront capital required for a provider to set up and deliver a social service. In this context, IDB Lab established a SIB Facility in 2014 to promote the focus on outcomes in social programs and increase outcomes-based commissioning. The SIB Facility has resulted in IDB Lab providing support to developing SIBs in Colombia (first SIB launched in a middle-income country), Argentina, Chile, Mexico and Brazil. Since then, several employment SIBs have launched in Colombia and Argentina and prefeasibility studies for SIBs on other topics are currently underway in Chile. This Technical Note aims to capture the lessons learnt from developing SIBs in Latin America, focusing on the five countries where the SIB Facility played a pioneering role. The study takes a retrospective view in examining what has been done and a prospective view in considering how challenges can be overcome and how lessons learnt might be considered within the IDB Lab, both at SIB level and at ecosystem level looking at the SIB ecosystems that have started to emerge. In the study, we find that the SIBs that have launched in the study countries were well designed and that there had also been thorough consideration of the advantages and disadvantages of the model.

Abstract:
This paper analyzes the implementation of Fiscal Rules (FR) in Argentina. Several clear attempts to establish a FR at the national level are identified. The analysis suggests that the environment matters. The only FR that was binding in the period was approved in 2004 during an economic boom, with the country under a program with the IMF and with high political support. During the world financial crisis the expenditure ceilings were relaxed, however, and current primary expenditures soared. Simulations show that a countercyclical fund could have been implemented even after reducing highly distorting taxes at the federal and provincial levels, and at the same time securing a high level of capital expenditure as a share of GDP, had Argentina complied with the 2004 FR. Moreover, an econometric exploration of the link between flexible FRs and public investment finds that a flexible FR helps to mitigate the negative effects of fiscal consolidations on provincial public investment. Based on the previous analysis, guidelines for a proposal for a FR in Argentina are provided.

Abstract:
En las últimas décadas, la tasa de motorización en los países de América Latina y el Caribe (ALC) se ha incrementado, principalmente, por el crecimiento de los niveles de ingreso de las personas, lo que ha generado aumentos tanto en niveles de congestión, como también en variables medioambientales tales como la polución y el ruido. Una de las respuestas a este crecimiento de la tasa de motorización ha sido el desarrollo de políticas con enfoque en la oferta. A través de estas se ha propuesto aumentar la infraestructura vial con el objetivo de mejorar las condiciones de flujo y desplazamiento del tráfico vial, disminuyendo así las condiciones de congestión. Este enfoque se ha traducido en obras de infraestructura, como el ensanchamiento de calles y el desarrollo de nuevas vías y autopistas. A pesar de estos esfuerzos, existe evidencia en la literatura de que este tipo de respuesta podría resultar insostenible en el largo plazo, por su alto costo y porque promueve el uso del automóvil particular, generando aumentos en la congestión y contaminación entre otras externalidades. Una de las soluciones que ha planteado la literatura es abordar la problemática a través de medidas que gestionen la demanda por el uso de la infraestructura, promoviendo así una utilización más eficiente de la oferta vial disponible. El desarrollo de medidas de gestión de la demanda (Transportation Demand Management, TDM por sus siglas en inglés) ha sido ampliamente reportado y discutido como política de transporte a nivel global, donde su implementación se ha concentrado en intervenciones como la restricción de circulación de vehículos (pico y placa), la tarificación vial por congestión, la redistribución del espacio vial (vías de uso exclusivo o reversibles), y los impuestos a la compra y operación de vehículos particulares, entre otras. ALC no ha estado al margen de la implementación de este tipo de medidas, con distintos niveles de éxito en su implementación y desarrollo. El presente documento considera una recopilación no exhaustiva de casos y experiencias de la aplicación de medidas de gestión de demanda, tanto en ALC como en otras ciudades del mundo, con el objetivo de compartir estas experiencias de políticas públicas de transporte para contribuir a su discusión para potenciales implementaciones a futuro. Adicionalmente, este trabajo se plantea como instrumento de guía, apoyo y consulta para los distintos stakeholders de transporte urbano de las ciudades de ALC.
