Con base en la teoría autoritaria de la prensa de FredS. Siebert, el artículo analiza la actuación que desempeñan los medios de comunicación de masas en los regímenes autoritarios. El modelo teórico se aplica al sistema de medios mexicano en donde las instituciones mediáticas han guardado una estrecha relación simbiótica con el poder político y han sido un reflejo fiel de las estructuras de poder autoritarias imperantes. Asimismo, se examina el impacto del libre mercado en el desempeño de los medios de comunicación y cómo pone en peligro la libertad de expresión, asimilándose a un autoritarismo de tipo tradicional.

The chapter summarizes the financial, economic, social, and demographic conditions that motivated proposals to reform the Arab Republic of Egypt's social insurance system. It elaborates on the appropriateness of a nonfinancial (notional) defined contribution (NDC) scheme—a key element in the structure of the new pension system—in a middle-to-low-income country and discusses the main options and constraints that have been taken into account in implementing the new system, including political-economy issues.

This paper is an effort to ascertain whether there is a relationship between out- migration & the political engagement of those "left behind" in Mexico. We use 2006 CIDE-CSES survey data, which we complement with data from another national survey, to indicators of political engagement in Mexico. In particular, we identify the following channels through which out-migration may influence political engagement in Mexico: whether the respondent has close relatives in the US, receives remittances, intends to migrate to the US, or has ever worked in the US. We then model several indicators of political engagement in Mexico (ie,, levels of political information, frequency of political talk within & without the household & electoral participation) as a function of these manifestations of out-migration, & a variety of suitable control variables. Our results suggest that, against the emerging conventional wisdom (according to which migration, & in particular remittances, by their sheer size, will solve many of Mexico's developmental challenges), emigration may in fact depress political engagement in Mexico.

Bravo, J. M. (2019). Funding for longer lives: retirement wallet and risk-sharing annuities. Ekonomiaz. Basque Economic Review, 96(2), 268-291. ; Longevity increases and population ageing create challenges for all societal institutions, particularly those providing retirement income, health care, and long-term care services. At the individual level, an obvious question is how to ensure all retirees have an adequate, secure, stable and predictable lifelong income stream that will allow them to maintain a target standard of living for however long the individual lives. In this paper we introduce and discuss the concept of retirement wallet representing the multiple income and service sources individuals and their families will have to fund for longer lives. We then address the main decumulation risks and options, including the adoption of a given longevity insurance strategy, of a programmed withdrawal strategy and of an investment strategy. The main payout options available for allocating assets accumulated in pension plans are discussed, particularly the role of traditional and innovative investment and longevity risk-sharing structures. We provide illustrative results for the price of innovative participating longevity-linked life annuities (PLLAs) that link benefits to the dynamics of both a longevity index and an interest rate adjustment factor using Spanish mortality and financial market data. ; publishersversion ; published
