Sostenibilidad ambiental y calidad institucional
While the goal of sustainable development is common to all economies, environmental performance differs between regions. The reasons for this divergence are varied. In particular, this work analyzed the possible existence of a causal relationship between the quality of institutions and environmental sustainability. By conducting a literature review, it was possible to identified authors who proposed a positive relationship. On the other hand, a m…
Multidimensional Poverty and Natural Disasters in Argentina (1970–2010)
This paper studies the effect of multiple natural disasters occurred in the different districts of Argentina between 1970 and 2010 on their multidimensional poverty, as measured by a Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) comprising five core dimensions of well-being: housing, basic services, standard of living, education and employment. The paper uses household microdata of the last census, and natural disasters registry from the DesInventar datab…
La incertidumbre ambiental socialmente construida
El estudio analiza las representaciones sociales y las prácticas en torno a cuestiones ambientales en General Daniel Cerri, Ingeniero White, Villa del Mar, Pehuen-Có y Monte Hermoso, localidades del sudoeste de la Provincia de Buenos Aires. Se utilizan algunos conceptos de Sociología Ambiental. La investigación se basa en un trabajo de campo realizado mediante encuestas que permitieron detectar: la existencia de un sufrimiento ambiental y de una …
Disasters and economic growth
Disasters pose a serious threat globally. In this paper we estimate the impact of disasters on economic growth at the district level for Argentina, for the period 1992–2013. Due to the lack of disaggregated GDP data, night light maps reported by the United States' National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) are used as a proxy for economic activity. Disaster information comes from the records of the Disaster Inventory System (DesInvent…
Desastres en Argentina
Introducción Los desastres constituyen uno de los mayores desafíos que enfrenta la humanidad. Las percepciones respecto a estos eventos extremos y sus consecuencias afectan ampliamente el diseño e implementación de políticas públicas de adaptación y mitigación. Objetivo principal Analizar los determinantes de preferencias y percepciones sobre los desastres en Argentina (2017-2019). Método y técnica Se emplean dos ondas de una encuesta de opinión …
Persistent effects of natural disasters on human development
Convergencia y desarrollo en la Argentina urbana (2003–2016)
Full article is in Spanish English Abstract: This article analyses the recent evolution of territorial disparities in Argentina, measured by a Multidimensional Poverty Index, by carrying out a formal convergence analysis between agglomerates. In particular, the existence of absolute β-convergence and σ-convergence is tested. The information comes from the microdata of the Permanent Household Survey. The results suggest that, although an end-to-en…

La pobreza y el discurso de los mass media. Un estudio de la prensa local argentina
La pobreza constituye un problema estructural en Argentina, realidad que se evidencia, más allá de las controversias en torno a su delimitación conceptual y su medición, desde diversos enfoques teórico metodológicos que abordan el fenómeno. Este trabajo busca aportar a la explicación de esta agenda urgente desde el análisis de la representación mediática de la problemática. El artículo presenta resultados de un estudio en curso sobre un sector de…
Pobreza y medio ambiente
El presente trabajo intenta analizar los vínculos existentes entre pobreza urbana y medio ambiente, con especial énfasis para el caso del Norte Grande Argentino en el período 2011-2016. De esta forma, se analizan las condiciones ambientales que experimentan personas pobres y su situación en relación a los no-pobres, utilizando indicadores relativos a condiciones sanitarias de los hogares, localización de la vivienda, y fuentes de energía empleada…
Sobre el análisis de la pobreza urbana y el medio ambiente
El estudio de los sistemas económicos se caracteriza principalmente por el análisis de los aspectos productivos y distributivos de una sociedad. Al incorporar la dimensión ambiental al análisis económico, la rama de la Economía Ambiental se concentra en subsanar fallas de mercado para continuar con valoraciones economicistas costo-beneficio. Como crítica a esta visión, la Economía Ecológica basa sus estudios en una perspectiva sistémica. Por otro…
Characterization of an artisanal fishery in Argentina using the social-ecological systems framework
Institutional Analysis and Development (IAD) studies how institutions (the rules of the game of a society) determine the performance of a social-economic system. Elinor Ostrom extends the institutional analysis to the collective action for a particular case, the study of the social-ecological systems (SESs) (Ostrom 1990). Any group that attempts to manage a common resource (e.g. aquifers, pastures) for optimal sustainable production must solve a …

Empleabilidad, educación y equidad social
This paper analyzes the link between the concepts of employability, education, and social equality. A large portion of society has limitations when entering or remaining in the job market. This difficulty in being “employable”, understood as the “ability to obtain or keep a job”, stands out in groups of individuals which have greater economic disadvantages. These individuals are caught in an environment that hinders studying and acquiring employa…

Economic performance clubs in the Americas
The aim of this paper is to study the economic dynamics of a set of countries of the Americas during the 1955-2003 period. It does this by introducing an alternative concept of economic performance based on the idea of dynamic regimes. These regimes are defined by the level and growth rate of per capita gross domestic product (gdp). By introducing a non-parametric clustering method, the study identifies two main performance clubs whose evolution …
South Africa's Newest "Jews"
This article examines the Moemedi Pentecostal Church, a small, recently established group outside of Johannesburg, South Africa. Based on ethnographic fieldwork, it reviews the origins and theology of the church with particular emphasis on members' assertion of Jewish identity. The Moemedi Pentecostal Church (MPC) emphasizes the Old Testament and biblical Jews in a manner common to many Zionist churches in Africa. While it is common among Zionist…
