| Resumen: | Scholarly consensus regarding Brazil’s Lula government characterizes its economic policy as surprisingly conservative but its foreign policy as roughly in line with the traditionally leftist principles of the Workers’ Party. While broadly accurate, this perspective tells us little about trade diplomacy, which cuts across these two policy areas. In this article we explain why Lula’s trade diplomacy has hewed much more closely to his broader foreign policy strategy than his economic model, despite the critical role of trade in Brazil’s recent economic growth. We argue that two key factors have lowered the costs of adopting a combative, South-South orientation, allowing Lula to use trade diplomacy as a tool for appealing to party loyalists. One is the inherently muted short-term impact of trade diplomacy on key macro-economic outcomes. The other is the failure of the traditional trading powers to offer the incentives necessary to successfully conclude the major North- South trade talks they had initiated. |

| Título: | How Useful is Okun’s Law? |

| Resumen: | From the beginning of 2003 through the first quarter of 2006, real gross domestic product in the United States grew at an average annual rate of 3.4 percent. As expected, unemployment during the period fell. Over the course of the next year, average growth slowed to less than half its earlier rate--but unemployment continued to drift downward. This situation presented a puzzle for policymakers and economists, who expected the unemployment rate to increase as the economy slowed. Typically, growth slowdowns coincide with rising unemployment. This negative correlation between GDP growth and unemployment has been named "Okun’s law." Part of the enduring appeal of Okun’s law is its simplicity, since it involves two important macroeconomic variables. Additionally, the relationship appears to enjoy empirical support. In reality, though, Okun’s law is a statistical relationship rather than a structural feature of the economy. As with any statistical relationship, it may be subject to revisions in an ever-changing macro economy. Knotek considers the usefulness of Okun’s law for policymakers and economists. The evidence suggests that Okun’s relationship between changes in the unemployment rate and output growth has varied considerably over time and over the business cycle. Nevertheless, Okun’s relationship can still be useful as a forecasting tool--provided that one takes its instability into account. |

| Resumen: | The introduction of contract regimes for the provision of bus services, such as competitive tendering and performance-based contracts, is usually premised on a prior assumption that the size of the physical contract area is given and that any policies related to interactions between contract areas, such as integrated ticketing and fares are agreed to. This article examines the evolving arguments th at encourage a review of contract area sizes before recontracting and the positions supporting the benefits of service quality-related issues such as an integrate d fares policy. Given that a growing number of analysts (especially in Europe and Australia) are promoting the appeal of increasing physical contract area size to facilitate, among other reasons, an integrated fare regime, it is timely to explore the pros and co ns for such reform to ensure that they are not counterproductive to the desired outcomes of a reform process. The arguments presented here caution the support for too small a number of large contract areas on grounds of internal efficiency losses and limited gains in network economies (but support amalgamating very small contract areas). Existing empirical evidence, limited as it is, tends to support contract areas (and depots) currently serviced by fleet sizes in the range 30 to 100 regard less of urban development profile. Alternative ways of delivering cross-regional and broad-based network benefits are proposed. |

| Resumen: | Crete, an exquisite island, is located between Europe, Asia and Africa, and in the north, is it surrounded by the Cretan Sea and in the south, by the Libyan Sea. It has become known as one of the most alluring tourist destinations in Europe. This is attributed to its geographical location, extraordinary flora and fauna, a unique natural phenomenon, such as the Gorge of Samaria, and its rich historical monuments. The archaeological sites in Crete (Knossos palace) are worldwide known and can be visited along with the famous Byzantine monuments. As it is understood, such churches and their artifacts mainly appeal to visitors with particular religious interests. At the same time, for the modern tourist who is interested beyond the usual attractions, there are also developed traditional settlements, the Sustainable tourism and Ecotourism, traditional cultural events and feasts, as well as exhibitions of popular art. Regarding the economy, over the last decade, an important growth in agriculture (the climate encourages a lot of bio-cultures), industry and finally tourism has taken place. However, a more general growth is also to be seen in other economic sectors (manufacture, trade etc.) that benefit from the increase in the number of consumers annually, due to the surge in tourism. This radiograph of the island of Crete demonstrates all the natural and cultural elements that are impressive and rare within one area, and which, if exploited correctly, may create other tourist models based on natural and cultural resources. |

| Título: | How should monetary policymakers respond to the new challenges of global integration? |

| Resumen: | In a presentation at the Federal Reserve Banks of Kansas City’s 2000 symposium, "Global Economic Integration: Opportunities and Challenges," Governor Brash of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand highlighted four issues related to global economic integration that affect central banks. First, increasing foreign trade is causing greater integration of countries and regions and thereby increasing the appeal of regional currency zones. Second, growing integration has potentially caused economies to become less inflation prone. Third, global financial institutions are developing at an accelerating rate, raising issues about financial regulation and the transmission of monetary policy. And fourth, the increasing speed with which capital flows around the world is making it more difficult for central banks to achieve domestic objectives. Focusing primarily on the last issue, Governor Brash described how monetary policy in New Zealand has responded to increased economic integration. Two key challenges are the heightened response of capital flows to changes in monetary policy and the disruptive effects of exchange-rate cycles to the macro economy. Among the key ingredients to successful management of external or internal shocks in an open economy are "clear, transparent, and credible objectives" and "effective risk management." The specific approach in New Zealand has been to adopt an explicit inflation target and to maintain floating exchange rates and an open capital account. |
