| Abstract: | In this paper we model endogenous evolution of cultural traits which is mediated through market, and examine its impact on long run economic growth. Historically culture has played an important role in the process of economic development. Yet, economic development itself impacts upon the pre-existing cultural values and beliefs. We interact culture with market and show that such interaction may generate multiple growth trajectories depending on the initial distribution of cultural traits in the economy. In particular, an economy may end up in a culture-induced low growth trap in the long run. We also show that over time, with economic development, culture takes a back seat but its initial influence continues to impact long run outcomes. |

| Abstract: | En el marco de las iniciativas de apoyo a los gobiernos de América Latina y el Caribe para la mejora de las políticas de fomento de las micro, pequeñas y medianas empresas, la Comisión Económica para América Latina y el Caribe (CEPAL) ha coordinado una acción de apoyo a la cadena de animación digital, en Colombia (específicamente en Manizales), Costa Rica y Panamá. Dicha acción es parte del proyecto EUROMIPYME, financiado por la Unión Europea. La animación digital es parte de la economía creativa, es decir de aquellos sectores económicos que generan productos y servicios caracterizados por un importante contenido cultural. En la región mesoamericana esta industria es incipiente, pero denota características interesantes de innovación y apertura al mercado externo. La iniciativa impulsada por la CEPAL e inspirada en el enfoque de las cadenas de valor, permitió convocar a los actores públicos, privados y académicos que conforman la cadena de animación digital en los tres países y, de forma participativa, hizo posible la definición de metas y prioridades, la formulación de líneas estratégicas y la concreción de acciones para el desarrollo de estos sectores, a nivel nacional y regional. El actual documento describe esta experiencia. |

| Abstract: | Online platforms have disrupted parts of the capitalist economy, with allegedly severe consequences in the world of work. This study examines live music in Germany and the UK, where online platforms do not dominate, despite considerable digitalization of market intermediaries. The analysis shows that, as the degree of digitalization increases, matching services tend to work less as a workers' representative – which is traditionally the case for live music agents – and more as a force of marketization that disciplines workers by orchestrating price-based competition |

| Abstract: | The interplay between individual creative ability and the way to enhance it – through monetary and nonmonetary incentives – is an issue with tremendous potential for economic analysis. In this survey, we dwell into the issue by focusing on the methodological advantages of economic experiments. We provide a review of the literature in experimental economics on creativity, identifying six main directions of analysis. Namely, the impact on creativity of: (1) low vs high monetary incentives, (2) the interplay of monetary incentives and tasks, (3) within-group competition, (4) within-group cooperation, (5) cultural factors, and (6) non-monetary social incentives. In the spirit of a “meta-study,” we classify the works in our review not only according to the aforementioned research questions, but also disentangling by the type of creative task that the experimental subjects face, the way in which creativity is assessed, and other key features of standard experimental procedures in economics. This multidimensional comparison allows us to conclude that the current lack of robust findings on the determinants of creativity in economics might be due to the absence of comparable experimental studies under the same experimental conditions. We conduct our analysis without neglecting the psychological roots of creativity research and their way through management, underlying how both disciplines have heavily outlined the work of experimental economists in the topic of creativity. |

| Abstract: | La siguiente ponencia parte de la preocupación por comprender la relación entre la experiencia turística y la gastronomía. Al pensarse como un factor potencial del turismo, lo gastronómico puede ser resignificado y resemantizado desde la tradición oral y las culturas populares. El texto pone a consideración algunas reflexiones sobre la connotación cultural del viaje y retoma algunas reflexiones sueltas sobre la problemática de la globalización. Por último explora la categoría de regiones alimentarias desde los derroteros de un proyecto de investigación asociado con la recuperación de recetas en la región cundiboyacense y luego extiende estas reflexiones en la enseñanza y articulación de un currículo en los programas de Administración Turística. |
