    By Agriculture and Rural Development Division (VPS/PTI/ARD)
    This dataset compiles standardized and up-to-date agricultural productivity and input-use statistics across countries, covering annual data on agricultural output, input indices, and factor shares. Most of the indices originate from the USDA International Agricultural Productivity (IAP) dataset provided by the Economic Research Service (ERS), while others—such as the Hicks-Moorsteen, Fare-Primont, and Lowe TFP indices—are computed by us using underlying data from the same USDA source. The dataset includes multiple Total Factor Productivity (TFP) indices as well as disaggregated input indices for labor, land, capital, materials, machinery, livestock, fertilizers, and feed, many of which are indexed to a 2015 baseline. It also includes data on the value and quantity of agricultural resources such as land, labor, machinery, livestock, fertilizers, feed, cropland, pasture, and irrigated area, expressed in standardized units (e.g., 1,000 hectares, 1,000 metric horsepower, Mcal of...

    Medium Term Fiscal Frameworks (MTFs) have become one of the most popular reforms to the budgetary process in Latin America during the last decade, and introducing MTFs seemed to be the magic solution for most fiscal ailments. Nonetheless, there has been no comprehensive evaluation of their impact. This document discusses the normative merits of using MTFs, provides a characterization of the different types of MTF, and describes their development in the Latin American region based on extensive field work. As a first approximation for understanding how they are working, this document explores in detail the cases of Argentina, Colombia and Peru. While an unambiguous diagnosis is not possible, this document lays the groundwork for progress toward comprehensive impact evaluations and, eventually, to the consolidation of MTFs in the region.

    The Institute for the Integration of Latin America and the Caribbean (INTAL) of the Integration and Trade Sector of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) conducted this survey of Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) companies that export both within the region and outside the region. The objective of the analysis is to understand how their exports are evolving, what problems they face, what measures they have taken, what public support policies they have received, and what the prospective vision of the companies is.

    Agrimonitor is the IDB Product Support Estimates (PSE) country-level database for Latin American and Caribbean countries. It enables policy makers and policy analysts to track agricultural policies and to assess and measure the composition of the support to agriculture. PSE indicators related to magnitudes and composition help to better describe and address the key challenges facing agriculture in the coming decade.

    This dataset was generated by the Knowledge team in the Inter-American Development Bank's Water and Sanitation division from publicly available information to allow for the characterization and comparison of tariff systems and subsidies. It contains data on residential drinking water supply and sanitation tariffs, and includes data on subsidies, tariff types, metering, and more. The tariff dataset has been simplified and made available to the public via the Water and Sanitation Observatory for Latin America and the Caribbean (OLAS), consistent with the OLAS goals to provide consistent, reliable, and updated data to understand the water and sanitation sector at the national and regional levels, within the framework of SDG 6. For more information about this process and general trends in the dataset please see "How Much Do Households Pay for Water Supply and Sanitation Services in Latin America? A Descriptive Analysis of Tariffs and Subsidies in the Region."
