  • 2009-2014 InfraScope Index for Latin America and the Caribbean
    Dataset

    By IDB Lab (IDB Lab)
    This benchmarking index is a learning tool that evaluates the legal, regulatory and operating environments for Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) in transport, water/sanitation and electricity infrastructure for 19 Latin American and Caribbean countries. The analysis and scores in the model provide a comparable assessment of individual countries' readiness and facility for PPP project design and implementation. For the purpose of this index, PPP refers specifically to projects which involve a long-term contract between a public-sector body and a private-sector entity for the design, construction (or upgrading), operation and maintenance of public infrastructure; with finance usually provided by, and significant construction, operation and maintenance risks transferred to, the private-sector, which also bears either availability or demand risk; but with the public sector remaining responsible for policy oversight and regulation; and the infrastructure generally reverting to public-...

  • 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...

    Dataset

    By Innovation in Citizen Services Division (VPS/IFD/ICS)

  • 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.
