Abstract

"Cet ouvrage présente les actes du 39e colloque international de l'AFEAF (Association française pour l'étude de l'âge du fer) qui s'est tenu à Nancy du 14 au 17 mais 2015. Il rassemble 44 contributions issues des communications et posters qui couvrent les âges du Fer (du VIIIe au Ier s. a.C.) sur une large partie de l'Europe, de la République Tchèque à la Bretagne et du nord de la France à la péninsule Ibérique en passant par l'Italie. Ce colloque a permis une approche archéologique des productions aux âges du Fer, de l'acquisition des matières premières à leur transformation et leur consommation. Ce colloque s'est intéressé à de multiples domaines déclinés au fil des contributions : la production alimentaire, l'exploitation du sel, les productions manufacturées (métalliques, céramiques, verre, lithiques, etc.)."--Dust jacket, back cover.

Abstract

Chile’s small open economy with significant mismatch between the production and consumption baskets may be represented by three stylized sectors, a commodity sector, a non-commodity tradable sector, and a non-tradable sector. This paper estimates the effect of copper price shocks on mining, manufacturing, and construction—each embodying a sector type. The empirical findings are for positive spillovers from mining to the other two sectors. However, the estimated size of the spillovers seems modest, which raises the question of the potential for mining to be better integrated with the rest of the economy.

Abstract

This paper assesses external trade statistics in Lao PDR by looking at mirror statistics, and with reference to international experience in compilation and dissemination of external trade data. We find that exports could be underreported by 8 to 50 percent, while imports could be underreported by 30 to 70 percent, and the trade deficit could be 20 percent to 280 percent higher. Underreporting is concentrated in trade with major partners, including Thailand (17 percent of total trade), China (10 percent of total trade) and Vietnam (3 percent of total trade). On the export side, underreporting is concentrated in wood and wood products, while for imports it is concentrated in a much wider variety of products, including food, fuel, vehicles, machinery, chemical products, plastics and rubber, and construction materials. Possible sources and implications of these discrepancies are discussed.
