PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Replication package for Sabate, Marcela; Fillat, Carmen; Escario, Regina: “Budget deficits and money creation: Exploring their relation before Bretton Woods”, to be published in Explorations in Economic History (accepted December 2018). Panel of seventeen countries from 1870 to 1938. Ten countries are sometimes-floaters before the WWI: Argentina, Bulgaria, Brazil, Chile, Greece, Italy, Japan, Portugal, Romania and Spain. Seven countries are never-floaters before the WWI: Canada, Finland, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, the UK and the USA. Equation8.dta (Stata format): Data of public budget, monetary base and nominal GDP. Replication program Equation 8 offers a dynamic heterogeneous estimation of variations in the monetary base on the budget balance. Equation9.dta (Stata format): Data of variations in the monetary base, real GDP per capita( in 1990 Geary-Khamis dollars), average of public spending level , standard deviation of public spending levels, ratio of debt to nominal GDP and number of cabinet changes per year. Replication program Equation 9 offers a dynamic panel estimation of variations in the monetary base on the rest of variables. Abstract of the paper: The sovereign debt crisis in the Eurozone has rekindled the use of the North-South (core-periphery) terminology to refer to the heterogeneity of countries belonging to the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). In the gold standard literature, this geographical partition had already been employed to oppose the fiscal profligacy and subsequent problems of convertibility of southern countries against the fiscal probity and long convertibility records of their northern counterparts. We provide statistical evidence that the group of countries that, with available data for 1870-1938, exhibited convertibility problems during the classical gold standard, for this reason called the pre-WWI sometimes-floaters, shared a pattern of fiscal dominance. This finding for the sometimes-floaters (southern European and South American countries plus Japan) differs from the non-fiscal dominance pattern that we obtain for the pre-WWI never-floaters (northern Europe and North America countries) when the Great War and its aftermath years are omitted. We also show that the presence of fiscal dominance was partly due to the lower levels of tax efficiency and political stability in the South.

According to a survey conducted in Chile in May 2025, Boric's government had one of the lowest approval rates since the president took office in March 2022. During that month, just 21.5 percent of respondents approved the government. In addition, the age group that most approved of the Chilean president continues to be among those aged between 31 and 40 years old and those younger than that. Economic challenges Following a noteworthy economic expansion in 2021, the nation currently grapples with apprehensions centered around mounting government debt, an adverse economic trajectory, and a surge in unemployment rates. Stemming from an economic downturn, marked by a reduction in domestic demand and an uptick in inflation, the population harbors negative perceptions towards the present presidential administration. Adding to these challenges, the Chilean peso experiences pressure against the US dollar, while the current fiscal position displays a deficit, indicating greater outflows of funds compared to national earnings. Despite these concerns, the country is anticipated to experience prosperity in the forthcoming years. Crime in Chile Although Chile boasts the lowest homicide rate among its Latin American counterparts, crime continues to be a paramount concern for the nation's populace. A surge in violent crimes, particularly armed robberies and urban delinquency, transpired over the past year. This distressing trend even led to fatal incidents involving police officers on the streets. Furthermore, drug-related offenses have escalated, generating substantial issues that impact the broader population due to collateral disputes. Added to this is the erosion of public trust in entities meant to ensure safety, such as police forces and governmental positions, as corruption allegations have surfaced against them.

Current research suggests that all states share a perpetual appetite for extraction and standardization. However, this research overlooks that subnational regions present different appeals and challenges to ruling coalitions. While states seek to extend bureaucratic rule on peripheries with valuable assets and favorable geography, they might instead seek to preserve local patrimonial bastions when those areas offer substantial electoral support. In turn, these strategies lead to broad subnational heterogeneity in the reach of the state. This paper introduces a theory that focuses on regions’ ecological, military, and clientelistic features to explain local trajectories of bureaucratic rule and country-level state capacity. Empirically, I examine Chile, a successful case of capacity-building in Latin America. Prompted by a fiscal crisis in the mid-1850s, Chile’s central government launched state-building projects to offset its budgetary deficit. Using GIS and original data from censuses, budgets, and other primary sources, I show that Chile’s ruling coalition paradoxically modernized the country’s peripheries while deepening its own traditionalism. These results challenge prevailing narratives about the projection of political authority and Chile’s territorial uniformity.

This paper presents an overview of Chilean housing policies and housing programs from 1906 onwards and their relationship with housing deficits. The document consists of an analysis table that classifies each of the policies according to their policy actions based on Doling in 1997 and how they address each dimension of the housing deficit. The latter considers four dimensions in this research, namely, quantitative, qualitative, urban and social. The file includes a README section to facilitate understanding of the data presented. The dataset also contains the policy analysis in Spanish, the original language in which the lead researcher and publication's first author conducted the policy review of the Chilean case.

The data is categorized under Global Database’s Chile – Table CL.World Bank.WDI: Social: Health Statistics. The depth of the food deficit indicates how many calories would be needed to lift the undernourished from their status, everything else being constant. The average intensity of food deprivation of the undernourished, estimated as the difference between the average dietary energy requirement and the average dietary energy consumption of the undernourished population (food-deprived), is multiplied by the number of undernourished to provide an estimate of the total food deficit in the country, which is then normalized by the total population.; ; Food and Agriculture Organization, Food Security Statistics.; Weighted average;
