Relative Contribution of Each Causal Variable to the Size of the Informal Economy 330 3 $aThis paper estimates the size of the informal economy for 32 mainly Latin American and Caribbean countries in the early 2000s. Using a structural equation modeling approach, we find that a stringent tax system and regulatory environment, higher inflation, and dominance of the agriculture sector are key factors in determining the size of the informal economy. The results also confirm that a higher degree of informality reduces labor unionization, the number of contributors to social security schemes, and enrollment rates in education. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2008/102 606 $aTaxation$xEconometric models$xTaxation$zLatin America 606 $aTaxation$xEconometric models$xTaxation$zCaribbean Area 606 $aInformal sector (Economics)$zLatin America$xEconometric models 606 $aAgribusiness$2imf 606 $aAgricultural economics$2imf 606 $aAgricultural industries$2imf 606 $aAgricultural sector$2imf 606 $aAgriculture: General$2imf 606 $aCurrencies$2imf 606 $aEconomics of specific sectors$2imf 606 $aEconomics$2imf 606 $aEconomics: General$2imf 606 $aGovernment and the Monetary System$2imf 606 $aIncome economics$2imf 606 $aInformal Economy$2imf 606 $aInformal economy$2imf 606 $aInformal sector$2imf 606 $aLabor economics$2imf 606 $aLabor Economics: General$2imf 606 $aLabor$2imf 606 $aLabour$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aMonetary economics$2imf 606 $aMonetary Systems$2imf 606 $aMoney and Monetary Policy$2imf 606 $aMoney$2imf 606 $aPayment Systems$2imf 606 $aPublic finance & taxation$2imf 606 $aRegimes$2imf 606 $aStandards$2imf 606 $aTax administration and procedure$2imf 606 $aTax incidence$2imf 606 $aTaxation$2imf 606 $aTaxation, Subsidies, and Revenue: General$2imf 606 $aUnderground Econom$2imf 607 $aTrinidad and Tobago$2imf 615 0$aTaxation$xEconometric models$xTaxation 615 0$aTaxation$xEconometric models$xTaxation 615 0$aInformal sector (Economics)$xEconometric models. 615 7$aAgribusiness 615 7$aAgricultural economics 615 7$aAgricultural industries 615 7$aAgricultural sector 615 7$aAgriculture: General 615 7$aCurrencies 615 7$aEconomics of specific sectors 615 7$aEconomics 615 7$aEconomics: General 615 7$aGovernment and the Monetary System 615 7$aIncome economics 615 7$aInformal Economy 615 7$aInformal economy 615 7$aInformal sector 615 7$aLabor economics 615 7$aLabor Economics: General 615 7$aLabor 615 7$aLabour 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aMonetary economics 615 7$aMonetary Systems 615 7$aMoney and Monetary Policy 615 7$aMoney 615 7$aPayment Systems 615 7$aPublic finance & taxation 615 7$aRegimes 615 7$aStandards 615 7$aTax administration and procedure 615 7$aTax incidence 615 7$aTaxation 615 7$aTaxation, Subsidies, and Revenue: General 615 7$aUnderground Econom 676 $a330 700 $aVuletin$b Guillermo Javier$01976398 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911099659503321 996 $aMeasuring the Informal Economy in Latin America and the Caribbean$94745412 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03604nam 22006495 450 001 9911093720203321 005 20251117065649.0 010 $a9786613277831 010 $a9781283277839 010 $a1283277832 010 $a9780520948723 010 $a0520948726 024 7 $a10.1525/9780520948723 035 $a(CKB)2670000000083712 035 $a(EBL)692425 035 $a(OCoLC)726734846 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000522514 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11381424 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000522514 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10527835 035 $a(PQKB)11158542 035 $a(DE-B1597)520668 035 $a(OCoLC)727949870 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780520948723 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC692425 035 $a(Perlego)551798 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000083712 100 $a20200424h20112011 fg 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurnn#---|u||u 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe Failure of Environmental Education (And How We Can Fix It) /$fCharles Saylan, Daniel Blumstein 205 $a1st ed. 210 1$aBerkeley, CA :$cUniversity of California Press,$d[2011] 210 4$dİ2011 215 $a1 online resource (255 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 0 $a9780520265387 311 0 $a0520265386 327 $tFront matter --$tContents --$tPreface --$t1.

Blumstein offer this passionate indictment of environmental education-along with a new vision for the future. Writing for general readers and educators alike, Saylan and Blumstein boldly argue that education today has failed to reach its potential in fighting climate change, biodiversity loss, and environmental degradation. In this forward-looking book, they assess the current political climate, including the No Child Left Behind Act, a disaster for environmental education, and discuss how education can stimulate action-including decreasing consumption and demand, developing sustainable food and energy sources, and addressing poverty. Their multidisciplinary perspective encompasses such approaches as school gardens, using school buildings as teaching tools, and the greening of schoolyards. Arguing for a paradigm shift in the way we view education as a whole, The Failure of Environmental Education demonstrates how our education system can create new levels of awareness and work toward a sustainable future. 606 $aEnvironmental education 606 $aEnvironmental education$xPublic opinion 615 4$aEnvironmental education. 615 0$aEnvironmental education$xPublic opinion. 676 $a333.7071 686 $aAR 14600$2rvk 700 $aSaylan$b Charles$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01999463 702 $aBlumstein$b Daniel$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911093720203321 996 $aThe Failure of Environmental Education (And How We Can Fix It)$94781680 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04689nam 2200841Ia 450 001 9911145490303321 005 20260430032711.0 010 $a1-317-47551-8 010 $a1-315-70599-0 010 $a1-317-47552-6 010 $a1-282-11931-1 010 $a9786612119316 010 $a0-7656-2372-2 010 $a9781315705996 024 7 $a10.4324/9781315705996 035 $a(CKB)1000000000754514 035 $a(EBL)435201 035 $a(OCoLC)568372143 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000085154 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11126463 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000085154 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10007396 035 $a(PQKB)10323706 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL2049492 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10292185 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL211931 035 $a(OCoLC)909144716 035 $a(OCoLC)958109225 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL435201 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC2049492 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC435201 035 $a(FINmELB)ELB162382 035 $a(FlBoTFG)9781315705996 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000754514 100 $a20070123d2008 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aBusiness process transformation /$fVarun Grover, M.
