Selina Kyle might think everything is going purrfectly but riddle us this, Catwoman!

This book provides analytical contributions to the design of fiscal rules in small economies in the Latin America and the Caribbean region. These economies usually face high levels of output volatility, large terms-of-trade shocks, and exposure to natural disasters. The relationship between fiscal rules and economic size has not been systematically assessed in the literature. Determining which fiscal rules are most appropriate for smaller economies can contribute toward improving their design and effectiveness. The study reviews the performance of fiscal rules worldwide and provides information on which rule types are most common, which have the best record for compliance, and which features tend to improve their performance. It provides practical policy directions drawn from international experience to assist policymakers of smaller economies in designing and implementing more effective fiscal rules.

Criminals conduct their business unafraid, and the uncommon is commonplace. And moving through it all like broken glass--smooth, yet cunning--is the woman called the Fallen Angel, who helps people in need when they find themselves at a crossroads in their lives. But the Fallen Angel's help isn't always what it seems.

STÍNY NAD GOTHAMEM Batwoman, skvělá bojovnice se zločinem, která překonala i ty nejtrpčí zrady. Clayface, napravený padouch, jehož potenciál zastiňují jen jeho ohromné schopnosti. Noví hrdinové jako Azrael, anděl pomsty, a Batwing, který je ve své dokonalé zbroji skutečným temným rytířem. V čele tohoto týmu strážců stojí sám Batman, aby společně s nimi chránil Gotham City. Brzy se však na světlo dostanou tajemství nejzáhadnější členky týmu, Cassandry Cainové. A stín, který to světlo bude vrhat, bude temnější než vše, co jsme doposud viděli. Mysleli si, že Liga stínů je jen báchorka – o tajném společenství nihilistických vrahů se šeptalo ledacos, nikdo je ale nikdy neviděl. Nyní ale je ta Liga tady, v Gothamu. Likvidují členy Batmanova týmu jednoho po druhém. A jejich hrozivá vůdkyně, Lady Shiva, chce získat zpátky svou dceru – nebo ji také zlikvidovat. Dokáže takový útok odrazit Batmanův úhlavní nepřítel Ra’s al Ghul se svou Ligou asasínů? Nebo už jsou tu Stíny natrvalo?

"With Bruce Wayne sidelined-perhaps permanently-former Commissioner Jim Gordon has taken on the mantle of the Bat, with a state-of-the-art suit of robotic armor and the full support of the Gotham City Police Department to back him up. But when you become the Batman, there's a deadly learning curve-and an army of crazed criminals waiting to take you down. Can Gordon keep up? Or will his enemies and allies alike clip the new Batman's wings before he even gets off the ground."--Page 4 of cover
