      <description>Title: Soybean yield prediction in argentina using climate data
Authors: Basco, Emiliano; Elías, Diego; Aguirre, Maximiliano Gómez; Pastore, Luciana
Abstract: Agriculture, and especially soybean production, has a critical role in Argentina's economy, as a major contributor to GDP and export revenue. This paper studies the impact of climate variability on soybean yields in Argentina using a novel department-level dataset spanning 1980-2023. We estimate a fixed effects spatial error model (SEM) to quantify the long-run effects of weather shocks-measured by extreme heat, precipitation, and ENSO phases-while controlling for economic and technological factors such as seed technology and relative prices. Our results show that extreme heat significantly reduces yields, while moderate rainfall boosts them up to a nonlinear threshold. El Niño phases increase yields, whereas La Niña events are detrimental. Technological adoption and favorable price signals also enhance productivity. These findings highlight the importance of accounting for both climatic and spatial dynamics when analyzing agricultural outcomes. The model provides a strong empirical basis for forecasting soybean yields and informing policy decisions under increasing climate uncertainty. These models can be employed as effective tools for anticipating yield outcomes under different climate scenarios and utilized in climate-related stress exercises. This work provides valuable insights for policymaking decisions, contributing to prepare for potential economic impacts stemming from climate risks on Argentina's agricultural sector.</description>

Authors: Basco, Emiliano; Blanco, Emilio; Libonatti, Luis; Gaffney, Ignacio López
Abstract: This study investigates Argentina's unusually high and persistent goods inflation in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, using a cross-country monthly panel and a model that decomposes inflation into observable marginal costs, global price pass-through, and changing markups. We find that, at their peak in January 2024, goods price markups were approximately 40% higher than in November 2011. Further analysis indicates that these elevated markups were primarily driven by distortionary policy interventions-particularly foreign exchange controls, non-tariff barriers, and complex import regulations-which disrupted market pricing mechanisms and significantly amplified inflation, positioning Argentina as a clear outlier in the global inflation cycle.</description>

      <description>Title: When did Argentina lose its mojo? A short note on economic divergence
Authors: Katz, Sebastián; Levy Yeyati, Eduardo
Abstract: Based on long series of per capita GDPs, we characterize the economic divergence of Argentina in the 20th century relative to a group of countries with comparable initial income per capita. We find the divergence to be considerably longer than usually conjectured, with two marked tranches in the first half of the century and in the post war period, the latter being associated with GDP underperformance despite the relative decline in population. We identify specific dates for the inflection points, discuss the context in each case, and propose a potential explanation of the divergence together with a description of the highly volatile plateau displayed since the 1990s.</description>

Authors: Elosegui, Pedro
Abstract: Monetary policy implementation in a federal country requires both vertical (national and subnational governments) and horizontal (between subnational jurisdictions) institutional coordination. The optimal centralized monetary policy is blind and potentially nonheterogeneous at the subnational level. In this context, the Technical Note analyzes the economic implications resulting from the unconstitutional claim presented by the BCRA before the Supreme Court of Justice disputing the decision by some provinces of levying a provincial turnover tax on financial instruments used for monetary regulation. Subnational fiscal powers, including taxes applied to the financial intermediation affected BCRA monetary policy implementation, generating a negative externality for all the provinces. Additionally, the reaction of banking entities affected both the passive (interest rate on deposits) and active margins (interest rate and quantity/quality of credit), distorting monetary regulation and reducing the monetary policy rate impact on savings, credit, investment and aggregate demand. The quantitative approximation indicates that tax effectively affected the monetary policy signals implicit in the rates set by the monetary authority as well as the volume of financial intermediation.</description>
