“…When the two subperiods are examined, it is seen that the decrease in inequality begins in the first and is not slowed by the crisis; on the contrary, inequality decreases faster, generally speaking. This pattern, noted by Lustig, López-Calva and Ortiz-Juárez (2013) and Cornia (2012 and, among others, indicates that the global crisis did not affect the downtrend in inequality, probably because the crisis affected the Latin American region less than other world regions, as pointed out by Mancha, Perticarari and Buchieri (2011) and Quenan (2013).…”

This article analyses patterns of income inequality and its determinants in the countries of Latin America in the period 2004-2013. First, income distribution in several countries is determined using the Theil index and is found to have decreased over the study period. An econometric panel data model is then employed to study the determinants of the level of inequality. Per capita GDP, per capita health spending, tax pressure, the poverty rate, the literacy rate and years of schooling are found to be statistically significant variables in explaining inequality. Multivariate techniques are then used to group the countries by level of inequality, thereby establishing a classification in terms of ability to reduce inequality.

“…Thereby, the change in the risk conditions of society is associated with gradual or abrupt changes in both social practices and environmental conditions. Extant research has found that after the 2000s (Quenan, 2013), Latin America has strengthened its economic activity and reduced its vulnerability. This helped the continent to weather the financial crisis between 2007 and 2008 somewhat better.…”

Purpose Crises of any type have become an integral part of business activity and responses to them could make the difference between survival and failure. This applies in particular to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Taking the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic as a starting point, this study aims to investigate how Peruvian SMEs have been coping with COVID-19 so far. Based on that a conceptual framework is proposed which highlights the practice of SMEs trying to deal with a new type of crisis. Design/methodology/approach The study is based on an exploratory qualitative research design involving 25 semi-structured interviews conducted in Peruvian SMEs. Findings The findings demonstrate how the Peruvian firms studied to adapt to the new situation and initiate responses to increasing the chance of survival. Furthermore, the role of the companies’ decision-makers, as well as the role of crisis management and other related approaches in the companies are shown. Research limitations/implications The paper expands the underdeveloped body of knowledge regarding crisis management in Latin America in general and crisis management in SMEs by providing insight into how Peruvian SMEs perceive and adapt to the COVID-19 pandemic. Practical implications The findings presented in this paper have implications for both managers and managerial staff of SMEs but also for the people in charge of the curricula at universities and other teaching-focused institutes. Originality/value To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first empirical study of crisis management on the impacts of COVID-19 with a dedicated focus on SMEs from Latin America. It provides fresh insight into current reactions to the Pandemic.

“…A lo largo de la historia, las economías en desarrollo han vivido momentos de grandes recesiones económicas. En estos periodos, los niveles de incertidumbre aumentan considerablemente, así como también las expectativas sobre el futuro próximo y el largo plazo, lo que provoca que las decisiones individuales y colectivas tengan que reajustarse (Quenan, 2013). Por ejemplo, para muchos países de América Latina, un periodo de gran incertidumbre fue la década de los ochenta, la cual se considera la "década perdida", debido al alto endeudamiento externo de fines de los 70 y comienzos de los 80, lo que demostró ser insostenible luego de las violentas sacudidas de las tasas de interés y de los términos de intercambio de los primeros años de los 80" (Rojas & Corbo, 1992).…”

En economía, vasta evidencia teórica y empírica demuestran la importancia de la incertidumbre en el comportamiento individual y colectivo. Por ejemplo, el modelo de consumo intertemporal plantea que las decisiones de consumo presente, dependen, no solo de las condiciones económicas y necesidades actuales, sino de las expectativas de ingresos y consumos futuros de un individuo. En este contexto, varios estudios afirman que las políticas públicas que promueven el desarrollo económico y social de un país, tienen mayor impacto en sociedades con bajos niveles de riesgo e incertidumbre. Sin embargo, América Latina se caracteriza por mantener niveles elevados de incertidumbre, lo que puede generar ineficiencia en los resultados de sus políticas, además del mal manejo de los recursos públicos. En este trabajo, se analiza la dinámica de la incertidumbre de los consumidores (Índice de Confianza del Consumidor), de los productores (índice de Confianza Empresarial), y de los agentes externos (Riesgo país), de Ecuador. A través de un modelo de rezagos distribuidos, y estimaciones con Mínimos Cuadrados Generalizados, se evalúa su aporte en el crecimiento económico y en los elementos de la Demanda Agregada Interna del país. Los resultados muestran que mayores niveles de incertidumbre de los agentes externos (riesgo país), se relacionan con menor crecimiento en la inversión, en el consumo de hogares y el gasto público. Por otro lado, se muestra que el consumo de los hogares es un elemento que muestra sistemáticamente estabilidad e independencia de estos factores de incertidumbre.
