Rain, temperature, and votes
Compulsory voting was designed to make electoral participation immune to individual costs, yet this paper shows that rain on election day still keeps Argentine voters home. Exploiting quasi-random variation in precipitation across 526 departments and 14 national election days between 2011 and 2023, I estimate two-way fixed effects models with department and election fixed effects using ERA5 reanalysis data matched to department centroids. Each ad…
From Pews to Polls
Late‐Life Mobility in a Rapidly Ageing Middle‐Income Country
How do older adults reshape the spatial demography of a middle‐income country undergoing one of the fastest population‐ageing transitions on record? Brazil offers a particularly informative case: its share of population aged 60 or above rose from 6.2% in 1980 to 10.8% in 2010 and is projected to reach 25% by 2050, and a nationally administered pension regime makes benefits fully portable across the country's 5565 municipalities. Using large‐sampl…
Early childhood internalizing problems and maternal depression as predictors of social media-related depressive symptoms in adolescence
To examine associations between social media use and depressive symptoms in Chilean adolescents, test whether early childhood internalizing problems moderate this association, and decompose the intergenerational association between maternal depression and adolescent depressive symptoms via social media use. Longitudinal analysis of the ELPI, a nationally representative Chilean cohort (N = 10,004) followed from infancy (2010) through adolescence (…
School Calendar and Suicides
In this work, we examine the impact of the school calendar on suicides in adolescents (10–19 years) of urban areas. To achieve this, we employ a regression discontinuity design based on suicide administrative data, which enables us to leverage the temporal and geographical variability in the start date of the school calendar. The results confirm the existence of a negative impact of the school calendar on adolescent suicide in Argentina. In the d…
Downgrading Estimates Controlling for a Key Confounder
Why do immigrants earn less than equally educated natives? Labour market downgrading—the systematic penalty immigrants face relative to comparable natives—is the standard answer, but one key confounder has been largely absent: measured cognitive skills. Using PIAAC microdata covering more than 230,000 adults across 36 countries, we estimate immigrant penalties while controlling for internationally comparable literacy and numeracy proficiency. Add…
When contraception fails
Parenthood fundamentally reshapes economic trajectories yet establishing causality remains methodologically challenging due to selection and timing endogeneity. This study introduces a novel identification strategy exploiting contraceptive failures as an exogenous source of variation in parenthood status. Using nationally representative survey data, I compare individuals who experienced contraceptive failures resulting in births against those usi…
On the origins of time use
In those regions where men had an absolute advantage in agriculture in the pre-industrial era (i.e., regions that used the plough, which requires extensive use of force), a clear gender division of labour emerged. This division, with men typically working outside the household and women handling domestic work, has persisted today, even when the cause that gave rise to it has disappeared. In this work, I analyze the effect of ancestral agricultura…
Income, stress, and sex ratios over 1895-2010
(i.e. those boys who were not born due to high economic stress on their parents) and constitute a call for attention in favor of the implementation of prenatal care policies -especially in periods of stagnation or income decline- to maintain a more balanced sex ratio
Parental gender preferences over three centuries
Six Decades of Energy Poverty
Latin America and the Caribbean are one of the most unequal regions in the world, with high levels of poverty and reduced state capacity to solve structural problems. In this paper, we examined the existence of a β-convergence process between countries (i.e., reduction of disparities) in terms of energy poverty indicators. For this, we construct an annual panel of countries for the last six decades and for thirteen energy poverty indicators cover…
Cómo aliviar la pobreza energética a partir de energías renovables? Diseño de un ensayo aleatorio en barrios vulnerables
La falta de acceso a servicios energéticos básicos constituye un elemento central en la generación de una situación de pobreza energética. Se propone una prueba piloto, basada en la instalación de colectores solares para proveer agua caliente sanitaria sobre un grupo de hogares con múltiples privaciones en un barrio vulnerable de Bahía Blanca (Argentina). Se destacan el empleo de una metodología novedosa, el diseño experimental y los beneficios d…
Natural disasters and economic growth
Natural disasters pose a serious threat globally and, in the future, their frequency and severity are expected to increase due to climate change. Empirical evidence has reported conflicting results in terms of the impact of disasters on economic growth. In this context, the present work seeks to synthesize the recent empirical evidence related to this topic. More than 650 estimates, from studies published in the last five years (2015-2020), are u…
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…
Global development and female labour force participation
The relationship between female labour force participation (FLFP) and economic development is far more complex than it is often described in academic literature. Most studies have relied on income as the only proxy for development. In this paper, we re-examine this relationship from a multidimensional perspective.A principal component analysis method was used in order to cluster the information contained in multiple development indicators. The an…
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 …
The Impact of Educational Assortative Mating on Income Inequality
This paper seeks to quantify the impact of educational assortative mating on income inequality among households in Argentina. We use microdata from two household surveys conducted by the National Institute of Statistics and Census: The Permanent Household Survey and the National Survey of Risk Factors. We construct contingency tables and perform a regression analysis to study the existence of educational assortative mating. We also present counte…
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…
Natural Disasters and Mortality
The frequency and intensity of natural disasters are expected to increase due to climate change. In this context, this work advances in the estimation of an absolute measure of mortality risk generated by natural disasters, in regions of Argentina. In particular, exceedance probabilities of mortality are estimated using the information diffusion method. The historical data of natural disasters provided by the records of DesInventar are used. Thes…
