Working with data produced by public sources often encounters several problems: one of the most common is the lack of continuity in the publication of databases. In this regard, the Permanent Household Survey -EPH- of the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (INDEC) in Argentina is an exception. In fact, this survey has published user databases with information since 1974. However, this has been done in a "non-replicable" way: from changes in the formats of its publication (dbase, .txt, .xls, .sav, etc.) to renaming some variables and recoding their categories, which makes them impractical for continuous use and processing. The lack of an API for the dissemination of information produced by INDEC generates a limit to the information processing capabilities, reducing the users to i) thematic experts with knowledge of how to access sources and ii) media that access information already processed in the form of press releases. This limits the potential value of the enormous work done by the institute, by discouraging its use by users with limited knowledge of the sources, but with data processing capabilities, such as the R community. In turn, certain key indicators presented by the EPH have methodological annexes, but no public implementations that allow the public to make use of the methodology outside the reports prepared by the institute. In this context, the eph package aims to facilitate the work of those users of the Permanent Household Survey - INDEC who wish to process data from it using the programming language R. The library has the following functionalities: i) a unified syntax for downloading, tagging and building datasets with comparable cross-sectional information ii) Implementation of indicator calculation (poverty) using the official methodology Some of its functions are: get_microdata(): Downloads the microdata bases, organize_panels(): Allows to build a panel data pool of the continuous EPH surveys, organize_cno(): Classifies occupations according to the CNO 2001 organize_caes(): Classifies economic activities according to CAES Mercosur 1.0 and CAES Mercosur organize_labels(): Label the bases following the last design map_agglomerates(): Indicator map by agglomerate The package also has other datasets that can be useful for working with the EPH: some dictionaries that contain the coding of geographic variables (such as regions or clusters) or the geographic position (centroids) of the clusters where the survey is conducted.

The study of international trade is one of the classical research areas of the economic thought. Its empirical characterization, at the same time that it goes back in time, is today an application space for new techniques, based on the intensive use of data. The increase in the availability of information curated for all countries allows exploring new analysis techniques. In turn, the multiple dimensions of the problem prevent a single analysis technique from capturing the entire phenomenon. The present work proposes to carry out various methodological proposals for the study of international trade, in such a way that together they allow obtaining a novel vision of the data. To do this, techniques widely used in other fields are tested on this particular subject, such as graph analysis and bayesian generative models. Aggregate trade between countries as well as the composition of the export baskets are considered. [less ▲]

Dialéctica de la dependencia, from Ruy Mauro Marini, constitutes a bastion in the critical study of capital accumulation in Latinamerica. It has given us analytical tools to discuss regional topics, not only in what respects to Latin American specificity but also regarding a methodological approach of capitalism's development. There have been significant controversies around this author and his work. The main purpose of this essay is to inquiry Dialéctica de la dependencia so as to learn its limits and potentialities by punctiliously reading it, taking into account those elements which seem problematic to the internal consistency of this work. In addition, matters which relate to Latin America specificity but are not present in the original text are considered, such as ground rent. [less ▲]

The debate about changes in the sale conditions of the labor force that has occurred since the early 70's, both locally and internationally, is widespreas. Many researchs make progresses in the wage comparison from an interna- tional perspective, taking into account the new international division of labor, while others are restricted to the national level, noting the heterogene- ity of the labor market in Argentina. However, there are not many papers that take account of both elements, enabling to realize a complex process that operates both nationally and internationally. The aim of this work is to make an international comparison of the Argentine wages compared to Europe and the United States, beginning with a general comparison of what happened in the70’s,soontodisaggregate bytypeofworkandconditionofprecarious- ness in the year 2010.
