  • Tables and figures for: Revenue Collection Is Not Enough: Taxes as an Instrument of Development
    Dataset

    By Department of Research and Chief Economist (VPS/RES/RES)
    This dataset contains tables and figures for the publication "Revenue Collection Is Not Enough: Taxes as an Instrument of Development" (Related publication only available in Spanish). Taxation in Latin America is largely viewed as a means of generating income to keep the government in business. In recent years, progress has been made towards increasing total revenue, but most countries in the region still lag well behind other countries with similar levels of development. More importantly, Latin America policymakers still largely ignore the potential of taxation to contribute to other important development goals. Governments have repeatedly missed the chance to influence consumption and production patterns by using taxes to effect relative price changes. More than Revenue aims to provide an up-to-date overview of the current state of taxation in the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) region, its main reform needs, and possible reform strategies that take into account the likely...

  • Regional System of Standardized Indicators in Peaceful Coexistence and Citizen Security: 2008-2013
    Dataset

    By Innovation in Citizen Services Division (VPS/IFD/ICS)
    The Regional system of standardized Indicators in peaceful coexistence and Citizen Security (RIC) is a project through which 15 countries and two capital cities of Latin America and the Caribbean, have partnered to improve and compare their statistics on crime and violence. This initiative has been promoted and financed by the Inter-American Development Bank - IDB through the Regional Public Goods program under the coordination and execution of CISALVA Institute at the Universidad del Valle in Cali, Colombia. The citizen security indicators were designed, reviewed and approved by the project's partner countries, along with established definitions and methodologies for the standardizing of the collecting, processing and analyzing stages of the information flow in order to support the quality of the data published. These indicators were reviewed in various regional boards, resulting in the improvement of some of them and the selection of additional citizen security indicators. The...

  • Summary indicators of Employment protection Legislation (EPL) in Latin America and the Caribbean: 2013
    Dataset

    By Social Protection and Labor Markets Division (VPS/SCL/SPL)
    The OECD/IDB indicators of employment protection legislation measure the procedures and costs involved in dismissing individuals or groups of workers and the procedures involved in hiring workers on fixed-term or temporary work agency contracts. The indicators have been compiled using IDB and OECD own reading of statutory laws, collective bargaining agreements and case law. The OECD Secretariat and the IDB equally share the responsibility of the interpretation of LAC countries’ statutory laws, collective bargaining agreements and case law. This database constitutes the first systematic approach to review and compare employment protection regulations in LAC, in a way that is also comparable with countries around the world.

  • Broadband Development Index for Latin America and the Caribbean: 2010-2015
    Dataset

    By Connectivity, Markets and Finance Division (VPS/IFD/CMF)
    The main goal of the IDBA is to size the Digital Divide in Latin America and the Caribbean by measuring the state of broadband development in the 26 Bank-member countries, as well as in additional reference countries (64 nations in total). The IDBA is a powerful tool to identify the magnitude of the gap in two different geographic approached, first when we compare the state of the art of one country versus the cluster region the country belongs to, and second, when we compare the country with respect to the OECD. The IDBA relies on a comprehensive approach based on four pillars: infrastructure, applications and capacity, strategic regulations, and public policy and strategic vision. Those four pillars are built as a result of the combination of 37 indicators from renowned international institutions. As a result, the IDBA provides a tool for decision makers and policymakers to detect, on a country basis, strengths and areas for improvement in developing specific, concrete and...
