Cosco and the privatisation of Piraeus port
This study examines one of the highest-profile Chinese investment projects in Europe. Using data collected over the period 2019–2021, we address important questions about the impact on employment and workplace regimes of the state-run Piraeus Port Authority (PPA) and China Ocean Shipping Company (COSCO)-run Piraeus Container Terminal (PCT) sides of Piraeus port in Greece. Our key findings indicate that while COSCO’s investment has created much-ne…
Improving Financial Inclusion through the Delivery of Cash Transfer Programmes
This paper follows a quasi-experimental research design to assess the impact of the electronic payment system of Mexico’s Progresa-Oportunidades-Prospera (POP) programme.

Overall, the study finds that, following the intervention, a substitution effect emerged betwe…

We adopt a mixed-methods approach combining (1) data from an existing survey on access to health-care, with 6,690 individuals, and (2) original interviews and focus groups …
