Morozov reviews IN THE PLEX: HOW GOOGLE THINKS, WORKS, AND SHAPES OUR LIVES by Steven Levy and THE GOOGLIZATION OF EVERYTHING (AND WHY WE SHOULD WORRY) by Siva Vaidhyanathan.
Desde un enfoque de neoinstitucionalismo económico, este artículo busca explicar por qué los instrumentos de las políticas de vivienda han incidido en la conformación de modelos de cuasi-mercados en ...el sector. Para este propósito se plantea analizar –como estudio de caso– la experiencia de Ecuador a partir de la implementación del Sistema de Incentivos para la Vivienda (SIV) en 1998. Metodológicamente se contempla el análisis de las condiciones de funcionamiento de los cuasi-mercados (estructura de mercado, información, costos de transacción, motivación y selección adversa), así como de un conjunto de criterios de evaluación del modelo (eficiencia, sensibilidad, elección y equidad). Los resultados encontrados evidencian contradicciones entre las lógicas de competencia del modelo de cuasi-mercados de vivienda social y las restricciones de acceso generadas por las condiciones socio-económicas del país.

Among the other NFOs, CanBank Infrastructure Fund, Kotak Tax Saver, Birla Infrastructure Fund, ICICI Prudential Fusion, ICICI Prudential Emerging star, Sahara Infrastructure and Kotak Lifestyle ...topped the list, beating the Sensex with returns ranging from 49-57 per cent. CanBank Infrastructure has a concentrated portfolio of large-cap stocks. Says Umesh Kamath, Fund Manager, CanBank Mutual Fund: "We don't hesitate to book profit and reduce exposure in stocks when our targets are achieved." On the contrary, Kotak Tax Saver (earlier known as Kotak elss Fund) has a widely diversified portfolio that includes small stocks like Panacea Biotec and SKF Bearings among its top 10 stocks. "The close-ended structure of the fund allowed us to take bigger bets in mid- and small-cap stocks with a potential to become tomorrow's large-caps," says Nikunj Doshi, Fund Manager, Kotak Mahindra Mutual Fund. On the other hand, the Birla Infrastructure Fund is more balanced with a mix of large-cap and mid-cap. For a while now, the inflows into India have been strong and the returns, attractive. Mugunthan Siva terms this as a situation of easy come and easy go. "Yes, money flows will continue," he adds. That is something not too many are likely to disagree with. According to Shankar Sharma, Vice Chairman and Joint Managing Director, First Global, the volatility is clearly a rub off from what is happening globally. "It is a result of what is going on in the US and the West at large. I do not think there is any reason to be concerned," he adds. If you are looking at India from a long-term perspective, that's true indeed. The volatility, says Paresh Khandwala, Director, Khandwala Securities, is a result of what has been going in the global financial markets. "It is all about the interest rates and the numbers from the US economy," he maintains. The metal nosedived over 40 per cent since a record high of $51,800 (Rs 21,23,800) a tonne in May to a 10-month low of $28,000 (Rs 11,48,000) in July after steel production cutbacks (nickel is among the main components used to prevent steel from corroding). China, which consumes around 10 per cent of the world's nickel production, cut its steel production mainly due to a decline in steel demand from Europe and Asia. Says Tejas Parekh, Senior Research Analyst, Motilal Oswal: "It's a good commodity to short. We expect nickel prices to touch $25,000 (Rs 10,25,000) levels at LME and dip to Rs 990 per tonne on the MCX from Rs 1,100 levels right now."
