 The Buenos Aires water concession / Alcazar, Lorena
The signing of a concession contract for the Buenos Aires water and sanitation system in December 1992, attracted worldwide attention, and caused considerable controversy in Argentina. It was one of the world's largest concessions, but the case was also interesting for other reasons. The concession was implemented rapidly, in contrast with slow imp [...]

 Reducing regulatory barriers to private-sector participation in Latin America's water and sanitation services / Richard, Barbara
The lack of an appropriate regulatory environment is a principal factor behind inadequate water and sanitation services in many parts of Latin America. Many governments recognize the need to improve cost recovery and accountability in services - and increasingly see private sector participation as a tool for improving efficiency and attracting comm [...]

 Institutions, politics and contracts: The attempt to privatize the water and sanitation utility of Lima, Peru / Alcazar, Lorena
The main reason Lima failed to implement a concession was geographical: the scarcity of water sources meant high marginal costs, partly for pumping water from deep wells and building adequate storage for dry periods. High extraction costs were compounded by years of neglect; much of the system needed to be replaced. Attracting private investors mea [...]

 Regulatory tradeoffs in designing concession contracts for infrastructure networks / Crampes, Claude
Network activities typically involve collecting a good or service (such as electric utilities, phone services, and rail transportation) from many producers or distributing them to many users. Producers and users are often widely scattered, geographically. Close financial integration of networks is justified on the basis of economies of scope and sc [...]

 Vehicular air pollution experiences from seven Latin American urban centres / Onursal, Bekir

The number of urban areas with populations exceeding 1 million was 43 in 1994 and is expected to increase to 52 in 2010. Airborne pollutant levels in many urban areas far exceed the national, regional, or local standards [...]

 Reforming the urban water system in Santiago, Chile / Shirley, Mary M.
In the late 1980s, Chile planned to privatize Santiago's sanitary works enterprise (EMOS) but instead reformed it under public ownership. It did so through a regulatory framework that mimicked the design of a concession with a private utility, setting tariffs that ensured at least a seven percent return on assets, creating a neutral regulator indep [...]

 Renegotiation of concession contracts in Latin America / Guasch, J. Luis
The authors construct a regulation model in which renegotiation occurs due to the imperfect enforcement of concession contracts. This enables the authors to provide theoretical predictions for the impact on the probability of renegotiation of a concession, regulatory institutions, institutional features, economic shocks, and the characteristics of [...]

 Mainstreaming Gender in Trade Policy: Practice, evidence, and ways forward / Dommen, Caroline
If trade is to promote sustainable development, it must be inclusive. This includes creating equal opportunities for women to benefit from trade and ensuring that women are not more adversely impacted than men by trade or trade-related policies. There is a growing willingness to “mainstream” concerns about trade’s gendered impacts in trade [...]

 Infrastructure Concessions in Latin America. Government-led Renegotiations / Guasch, J. Luis
The authors complement the existing knowledge in the renegotiation literature on infrastructure concessions by analyzing government-led renegotiations. They first propose a multiple-period theoretical framework in which both Pareto-improving and rent-shifting renegotiations at the initiative of the government can occur. They then perform an empiric [...]

 Bidding for concessions / Klein, Michael
Privatization of infrastructure ventures in sectors such as energy, telecommunication, transport, and water has become popular over the last decade. Often- for good or bad reasons - private firms are given monopoly franchises under some type of long-term concession agreement, for example "Build-Operate-Transfer" schemes. The article surveys the iss [...]

 Market access bargaining in the Uruguay round: rigid or relaxed reciprocity? / Finger, J. Michael
How tightly are trade negotiators held to winning a dollar of concession for each dollar of concession granted? The outcome of the Uruguay Round tariff negotiations suggests that such constraints were not tight. None of the delegations interviewed by the authors had tried to calculate for themselves the extent of concessions "received" And the surp [...]

 Air pollution and health effects - a study of respiratory illness among children in Santiago, Chile / Ostro, Bart D.
The authors estimate dose-response functions for respiratory disease among children based on data from public clinics in Santiago. They find that respiratory disease among Santiago s children is significantly affected by air pollution, measured as PM10 (small dust particles). The effect, for children under 15 (and subgroups), is robust to the inclu [...]

 Reciprocity in free trade agreements / Freund, Caroline
The author uses detailed trade, tariff, and income data for countries involved in 91 trade agreements negotiated since 1980 to test for reciprocity in free trade agreements. The results offer strong evidence of reciprocity in North-North and South-South free trade agreements, but there is little empirical support for reciprocity in North-South trad [...]
