Cost-benefit analysis, investments, and public-private partnerships. The La Muralla Dam Case - Part Two

( 2022-06-21)

;

Chang, Marita

This is part of a case series. In this second part of the La Muralla Dam case, a methodology is used to carry out a cost-benefit analysis to help support decision-making regarding whether the infrastructure project should be carried out or not. This proposal is particularly relevant in a lower-income country with limited access to data on the losses experienced due to destructive natural phenomena. This case focuses on the factors that impact the region where the project will be carried out and also the economic implications the project will have for the country. Using information from these two phases, it is possible to estimate the costs and benefits of the La Muralla project. As mentioned, access to data is limited, and so it has been necessary to create a methodology using information about Omagua and other, similar countries that have already started building similar infrastructure, as their results can help quantify the potential impacts of the La Muralla project. As result of discussion, it is expected that students will be more familiarized with the factors that can be taken into consideration for the cost-benefit analysis. Additionally, students will have had the chance to the calculate the cost-benefit analysis and will be able to provide a concrete response regarding the viability of the La Muralla project.

Analisis del desempeño innovador de las empresas de servicios intensivos en conocimientos

( 2024-06-25)

Del Carpio Gallegos, Javier Fernando

Objetivo. Evaluar la relación entre las fuentes de información y la capacidad de absorción y cómo esta capacidad mejora el desempeño innovador de una empresa. Metodología. El estudio presenta evidencias basadas en una muestra de 212 P-ESIC y 355 T-ESIC peruanas. En la investigación se aplicó un enfoque de modelo de ecuaciones estructurales por medio del software AMOS; mientras que para el análisis de mediación se utilizó el software PROCESS. Resultados. Se encontró que cuando las ESIC son expuestas a fuentes de información internas, del mercado, institucionales, así como a otras fuentes, están en mejores condiciones para desarrollar innovaciones. Sin embargo esta condición no es suficiente, pues es necesario desarrollar la capacidad dinámica (denominada capacidad de absorción). Conclusiones. Este estudio contribuye a comprender mejor el comportamiento innovador de las ESIC en una economía emergente como la peruana, ya que tiene en cuenta que las economías emergentes presentan características diferentes a las de las economías más desarrolladas. También se verificó que la capacidad de absorción no media en la relación entre las fuentes de información y el desempeño innovador en los dos grupos de empresas ESIC analizadas.

The aim of the study was to estimate the prevalence of non-use of health services (NUHS) and its associated factors using the National Household Survey (ENAHO 2015). The participants were defined as NUHS if they have presented any symptoms, discomfort, illness, relapse of chronic illness or accident during the last month and did not go to the health services. 35036 participants were analyzed; the prevalence of NUHS was 53,9%. NUHS was higher in the coastal region (adjusted Prevalence Ratio [aPR]=1.24;95%CI:1.17-1.31), highlands (aPR=1.38;95%CI:1.31-1.46) and jungle (aPR=1.25,95%CI:1.18-1.33) compared to Lima. Likewise, there were a higher prevalence of NUHS in participants without health insurance (aPR=1.59;95%CI:1.52-1.66) and those affiliated to Ministry of Health insurance (aPR=1.16;95%CI:1.11-1.22) compared to those affiliated to Social Security. More than half of the participants suffered from NUHS, which was associated with geographical and health system conditions. It is required evidenced-informed public policies to improve this situation.

Pijuayo (Bactris gasipaes) Pulp and Peel Flours as Partial Substitutes for Animal Fat in Burgers: Physicochemical Properties

(MDPI, 2024-10-14)

RIOS MERA, JUAN DARIO

This study aimed to evaluate the incorporation of peach palm (PP) pulp and peel flours as substitutes for animal fat (25 and 50% substitution) in beef-based burgers. Incorporation of PP flours reduced hardness, springiness, cohesiveness, chewiness, fat, cooking losses, and diameter reduction. Burgers made with PP peel flour stood out for having low values of lipid oxidation in the two levels of fat substitution (0.14–0.23 malondialdehyde/kg) (p < 0.05). PP fruit has the potential to be utilized as a new ingredient in burgers, but future studies are needed regarding detailed sensory trials and consumer acceptance.
