  • Setting Targets for Results: Target Setting Tool
    Dataset

    By Health, Nutrition and Population Division (VPS/SCL/HNP)
    The Technical Note "Setting Targets for Results-Based Financing Programs: A Simple Cost Benefit Framework" is accompanied by this Excel tool for the calculation of targets according to the simple framework presented. As an example, the case of El Salvador from the Salud Mesoamerica 2015 initiative is used in the file. The sources of information for this particular example were the latest available at the time of the exercise.

  • Database of Equivalent Fiscal Pressure in Latin America and the Caribbean: 1990-2015
    Dataset

    By Fiscal Management Division (VPS/IFD/FMM)
    This database is an ongoing effort to update official fiscal data by the Bank and the Inter-American Center of Tax Administrations, and with the collaboration of OECD and ECLAC. The Equivalent Fiscal Pressure indicator makes use of a methodology that better reflects the particularities of the mobilization of fiscal resources in the region, and consists of three elements: 1) Traditional tax collection, which includes all taxes and fees levied at all levels of government; 2) Compulsory social security contributions, whether public or private, mostly to pension and health systems; and 3) Non-tax revenues derived from the exploitation of natural resources, whether renewable or not; i.e., fees, royalties, dividends paid and net profits from public enterprises. The information is presented broken down by type of tax at every level of government. The series are adjusted with updated GDP values for each country and information that becomes available for municipalities and social security,...

  • Structural Fiscal Balances Database for LAC: A Tool to Assess Fiscal Performance in the Region
    Dataset

    By Fiscal Management Division (VPS/IFD/FMM)
    The database allows estimating structural fiscal balances for 20 countries in the region under different assumptions regarding the output gap and commodity structural prices. It is a unique database of its kind since: 1) It takes into consideration the distinct responsiveness of different types of revenues to changes in the output gap: In order to adjust for the impact of the business cycle on revenues, we calculate individual elasticities for each source of revenue (i.e. direct taxes, indirect taxes, revenues from non-renewable resources, etc.). Since the different types of revenues in the region have different sensitivities to changes in the output gap, this disaggregated approach allows for a more fine-tuned adjustment. 2) It includes estimations of SFBs based on output gaps projections available in real time. In addition to giving estimations of the actual SFBs, we provide with estimations of the SFBs that would have resulted should the projections on output gaps available to...

  • Database of Equivalent Fiscal Pressure in Latin America and the Caribbean - 1990-2021: Update and Status in the...
    Dataset

    By Fiscal Management Division (VPS/IFD/FMM)
    This is the third update of the Equivalent Fiscal Pressure (EFP) Database for Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) for the period 1990–2018, based on the IDB-CIAT methodology. The EFP provides a more precise measurement of total resources collected in the region and comprises four components: 1. Traditional tax revenues from general government, including subnational governments. 2. Public contributions to social security. 3. Mandatory contributions to private social security schemes. 4. Non-tax revenues from natural resource exploitation. Following the upward trend since the 1990s, the average EFP for 25 countries increased by more than 6 percentage points of gross domestic product (GDP), rising from 17.3% to 23.6% between 1990 and 2021. Medium-term dynamics are primarily driven by tax revenues, which grew from 13.5% to 18.0% of GDP over the same period. At the individual country level, there is significant heterogeneity in both the evolution and levels of tax revenues and EFP.

  • Replication Data for: Grandmothers and the Gender Gap in the Mexican Labor Market
    Dataset

    By Department of Research and Chief Economist (VPS/RES/RES)
    Data and code associated with the IDB Publication "Grandmothers and the Gender Gap in the Mexican Labor Market". ENESS data is available for 2009, 2013, and 2017. As an accompanying module of the ENOE, it covers all the households covered by the ENOE for two out of the three months in the quarter. Hence, the ENESS covers roughly two-thirds of the ENOE sample for the quarter. The ENESS data includes responses from 209,266 households. These households use public and private daycare providers for 3,991 and 1,177 children under seven years old.
