Neighborhood impacts on human capital accumulation of adolescents and young adults in Montevideo
Trust towards migrants
Household spending on transport in Latin America and the Caribbean
Do the rich save more in Latin America
Inter-Generational Effects of Titling Programmes
Programmes aimed at giving legal ownership titles to the occupants of land (‘titling programmes’) are associated with an income (or wealth) effect that induce higher expenditure on normal goods like education and health services. There is also a substitution effect: the elimination of expropriation risk makes home investment more attractive and increases the ‘opportunity cost’ of other forms of spending. The net effect on human capital is ambiguo…
Sticky floors and glass ceilings in Latin America
What do happiness and health satisfaction data tell us about relative risk aversion
Quality of Life Satisfaction among Workers and Non-Workers in Uruguay
Happiness Inequality
Multiple job holding
This article analyses a labour supply model in which individuals maximize a utility function that depends on leisure time, consumption and time devoted to an activity that is termed ‘artistic’. This activity may generate income that depends nonlinearly on hours dedicated to it. The individual can also work in the labour market (an activity that does not increase utility by itself) in exchange for an hourly wage, and obtain income not related to h…
Protection, Openness, and Factor Adjustment
Using a panel of Uruguayan manufacturing firms we analyze the adjustment process in capital, blue collar, and white collar employment. Adjustment functions are defined with respect to the gap between optimal and actual factor use. Our results confirm the asymmetric nature of factor adjustment, the relevance of nonlinearities, and the interdependence between factor shortages. The average annual estimated desired to actual output gap due to adjustm…
Traditional Excluding Forces
Unequal income distribution in Latin America and the Caribbean is linked to unequal distributions of human and physical assets and differential access to markets and services. These circumstances, and the accompanying social tensions, need to be understood in terms of traditional fragmenting forces; the sectors of the population that experience unfavorable outcomes are also recognized by characteristics such as ethnicity, race, gender, and physic…
Discrimination in Latin America
This book presents a set of studies on contemporary discrimination in Latin America that takes advantage of these new tools by focusing on social interactions that range from cooperation, group formation, and the impact of migration in poor families to specific markets such as housing and labor. The techniques applied include traditional regression analysis, experimental approaches, and audit studies, as well as structural methods. This wide rang…

Female Headed Households and Homeownership in Latin America
The gender of the household head has often been treated as an exogenous determinant of housing tenure. The paper argues that several determinants of homeownership also affect household headship and that failing to explicitly account for this endogeneity leads to inconsistent results. Using individual level data for Chile, Honduras and Nicaragua, it is shown that although on average women have a lower probability of being homeowners, those women t…
Outsiders?
This report raises a number of fundamental questions about the multidimensional and interrelated nature of social exclusion and moves beyond the traditional emphasis on outcomes and groups to view exclusion as a process that results from societal traits that limit the functionings of the excluded. Using the tools of experimental economics, the report shows the enormous economic and welfare costs of exclusion, suggesting that inclusion policies sh…
