Currently, the list of most violent cities in the world is dominated by Latin American cities. In 2015, Cali registered 65 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants. In Bogotá, the rate was 17 per 100,000 inhabitants. However, crime is not homogeneously distributed within the urban area, and literature indicates that the local response to crime affects the housing market. The objective of this paper is to estimate the relationship between housing prices and homicide rates in two Colombian cities: Cali and Bogotá. With the use of diverse sources of information and different econometric methodologies, we found that a 10% increase in homicide rates provokes a 2% decrease in housing prices in Cali and 1.8% in Bogotá.

RESUMO Este trabalho pretende, através do exemplo do muralismo libertário latino-americano, problematizar as relações entre educação e emancipação. É nossa compreensão que as práticas de ação direta pertinentes ao muralismo libertário, são processos constituintes de uma comunicação igualitária em franca antítese e resistência a um modo de comunicação autoritário característico da sociedade capitalista e de sua indústria cultural.  Analisaremos algumas obras dos coletivos muralistas anarquistas contemporâneos nas cidades latino-americanas, demonstrando sua orientação temática, suas estratégias de produção e representação imagética, e sua concepção explícita de uma formação cultural ampliada. Consideramos que o muralismo libertário, ao se apropriar do espaço urbano como meio de comunicação, ao ressignificar nos muros os demarcadores das desigualdades sociais, procura constituir uma cultura da resistência, materializando os fundamentos de um modo de comunicação igualitário.   Palavras-chave: Muralismo Latino-americano. Muralismo Libertário. Educação e Emancipação.   ABSTRACT The following paper aims to problematize the relationship between education and emancipation through the example of Latin American libertarian muralism. It is the authors’ understanding that the practices concerning the libertarian muralism belong to an egalitarian communication, which is openly against an authoritarian communication peculiar to the capitalist society and its culture industry. The authors will analyze some studies of the contemporary anarchist collective muralists in Latin American cities, demonstrating their thematic orientation, their strategies of image production and representation, and their explicit conception of a broad cultural formation. In addition, the authors consider that libertarian muralism, by using urban space as a means of communication, and re-defining the main aspects of social inequalities, seeks to establish a culture of resistance, materializing the foundations of an egalitarian way of communication.   Keywords: Latin American Muralism. Libertarian Muralism. Education and Emancipation.

The Relationship

Using housing market data of Beijing and Hangzhou, China, we conduct a case study to detect how the difference of urban structure can affect the relationship between the subway system and housing prices. To quantify the characteristics of urban structure, we propose a constrained clustering method, which can not only reveal the spatial heterogeneity of the housing market, but also provides a link between heterogeneity and the underlying urban structure. Applying constrained clustering to Beijing and Hangzhou, we find that the relationship between accessibility to metro stations and housing prices is weak and vulnerable, while the improvement of commuting efficiency, measured by a key variable, the metro index, does have a robust connection to metro premium on housing units. In particular, only a large metro index can be associated with a positive metro premium. Structural features, such as the size of urban core and the existence of multiple sub-centers, influence the metro premium by affecting the value and spatial distribution of the metro index. The evidence from Beijing and Hangzhou supports that in a mono-centric city, the size of the urban core is positively associated with the metro index and the metro premium, while in a poly-centric city with a small urban core, the metro index tends to be lower in the core region and higher in the satellite regions, which enforces the metro premium to be negative in the core while positive outside of the core.

This article explores the analytical relation between senses, space, and the stranger in Simmel’s relational thought. We can say that Simmel provides an analytical framework for thinking of how we create forms of socialization that take place from the senses. The senses mark areas of familiarity and strangeness among people and, the senses are a resource of meaning in the construction and exclusion of the stranger. Specifically, the article recovers Simmel's reflections regarding the relationship of estrangement that develops from the gaze, smell, and hearing, supplemented by recent empirical research in these fields and some examples related to Latin American cities.

Demand and supply in housing market depends on macroeconomic conditions such as Gross Domestic Product, interest rates, and housing prices. Changes to these variables are related to changes in housing market. This study aims to examine the relationship of housing prices, Gross Domestic Product, mortgage interest rate to Banking Credit. Knowing the relationship will be useful in making strategic decisions related to property investment and portfolio management. Housing price using Residential Price Index in primary market will be grouped into three parts based on land area of residential property consist of small house type, medium house type, and big house type. Data processing using Auto Regressive Distribution Lag (ARDL) bound test model to test the relationship between variables. The result of the research shows that there is a significant long run cointegration on the variable of housing price, Gross Domestic Product, and mortgage interest to banking credit. Furthermore, in testing each housing price group, the test results also show the relationship between these variables.

Europe is undergoing a profound demographic change. This change will affect significantly all aspects of modern economies including the demand and the prices of the housing stock. The relationship between prices of the housing market and associated demographic variables has been long established. However, in the current literature, the housing market is considered to be unitary and coherent, that is one price reflects the housing stock without taking into account the housing characteristics which in real economy are considered essential for price calculation. To this respect it must be noted that housing submarkets existence has been long established based on the current literature. However and in relation to housing submarkets, the actual goal of the studies currently exist was the definition process, the models and the techniques that should be employed in order to acquire best results. Housing submarkets are considered important in the understanding of different social phenomena. In this chapter an attempt is made to review the relationship of housing prices to demographic variables and then a review on the definition process of housing submarkets.

Housing prices in the United States experienced a significant meltdown during the Great Recession. Since then, the housing market has seen a nationwide recovery, even over-heating in some regions. In this paper, we look back at that era and study the possible impact of population changes on housing markets in 2010-2017. Our focus is not to look at how the housing market recovered from the recession per se. Rather, our study is to look at the relationship between population changes and their impact on housing prices, even during the recovery period. In addition to the population variable, our model employs a few other factors known to affect housing prices, such as the unemployment rate, the GDP per capita, mortgage rates and the housing supply.

Abstract Using data on a trust game played in six Latin American cities, we estimate the relationship between religious participation with trust and reciprocity. We find no association with trust but we do find a statistically significant relation with reciprocity. Individuals more active in religious organizations tend to reciprocate more than individuals who participate less, even though their trustiness on others is about the same as that of less religiously active people.

Although the important roles and functions of Latin American cities have received recognition and discussion in historical writing, there exist few empirically grounded and detailed investigations of individual urban centers. Thus, reviewing the nature of historical research on Latin American urbanization, Sofer and Szuchman (1979: 113, 119) noted the dearth of quantitative investigations of the social dimensions of urban existence, as well as a reliance on aggregate data as opposed to such primary documentation as manuscript census returns, notarial records, and judicial assessments. They conclude that “historians have been reticent to explore the social data in primary documentation and join them with non-quantifiable sources of information in order to reach an existential understanding of the Latin American past.” Similarly, Socolow and Johnson (1981: 51) have pointed to the need for research concentrating on the “social, economic, and physical structure of individual cities and groups of cities.”

The Relationship

Motivated by the observation that the down payment policy in China is government-controlled and pro-cyclical based on the housing market, I construct a heterogeneous DSGE model to study the relationship between China’s down payment policy, property tax, and economic fluctuations. The results indicate that an increasing down payment ratio suppresses the speculative belief and decreases household’s housing demand. This in turn pulls housing prices down and smoothes the economic fluctuations. By way of counterfactual exercises, I also find that the down payment policy and the property tax can be substitutes for each other. If there is an active down payment policy, the implementation of property tax shall be prudently deliberated by the Chinese government.

Los objetivos más importantes de esta investigación son los siguientes: 1) comprobar la hipótesis de que el crecimiento de las ciudades también puede medirse valiéndose del análisis de los datos que se pueden extraer de los avisos publicitarios de las empresas que prestan servicios relacionados con el ámbito inmobiliario y que aparecen en las páginas amarillas en papel y virtuales; 2) comparar los resultados de estos datos con las cifras de población, viviendas, superficies urbanas, PIB y censo catastral inmobiliario. Para ello se extrajeron los datos del directorio de Bogotá de los años que permitieran compararse con las fechas en las que se llevaron a cabo los últimos censos de población y vivienda (1993 y 2005), y también para 2008, a fin de que el panorama fuera más reciente; también se tomaron los datos de las páginas amarillas virtuales de algunas de las más importantes ciudades de Latinoamérica, para el año 2009. En el caso de Bogotá se comprobó que su crecimiento urbano es directamente proporcional al del número de empresas inmobiliarias, y en el de algunas ciudades de Latinoamérica se corroboró que sucede prácticamente lo mismo. En suma, se pudo concluir que analizar estos datos es una opción importante para medir el crecimiento urbano, por lo menos para las últimas dos décadas, pero también un indicador innovador para monitorear el crecimiento de muchas ciudades del mundo que publiquen páginas amarillas virtuales. AbstractThe main objects of this research are given below: 1) prove the hypothesis that city growth can also be measured by using the analysis of data extracted from real estate companies’ advertisements, published in the paper and on-line versions of the Yellow Pages; 2) compare the results of these data with population, housing, urban area, GDP and real estate land census figures. To this end, data were obtained from the Bogotá directory for the years that permitted a comparison between the dates when the last population and housing censuses (1993 and 2005) were carried out and 2008, to provide a more recent overview. Data were also taken from the virtual Yellow Pages of certain major Latin American cities in 2009. In the case of Bogotá, urban growth proved to be directly proportional to the number of real estate firms, as it did in a number of Latin American cities. In short, analyzing these data is an important means of measuring urban growth at least for the last two decades. It is also an innovative indicator for monitoring thegrowth of many cities in the world that publish virtual Yellow Pages.
