Beyond the Binary
Although Puerto Rican society has long been shaped by the heritage of Spanish and United States (U.S.) colonization, current research has started to examine how racism and colorism interact to create and maintain health inequalities throughout the archipelago. However, this body of work remains theoretically fragmented and methodologically inconsistent, limiting its ability to inform public health practices. To address this gap, this article pres…
In the Midst of Disasters
Is There a Mediating Factor Between Specific Learning Disabilities and School Dropouts
Much dropout research has found that being diagnosed with specific learning disabilities increases the risk of dropping out of school. While previous studies have found mixed results for the impact of low socioeconomic status on dropouts among students with specific learning disabilities, they are not conclusive because of sample selection bias. We hypothesized that specific learning disabilities, in combination with poverty, can have the greates…
Informal Labor Markets After Disasters
Objective Previous research has shown the impact of disasters on the formal labor market at the county and city levels, but there is little research evaluating informal labor markets after three consecutive natural events affecting marginalized communities. We selected Puerto Rico, a territory impacted by three disasters, for a case study. Method Official surveys do not usually obtain data from marginalized communities. We conducted a survey and …
Does one size fit all? An update to the debate on population growth
Based on several Arellano–Bond estimations and two-way fixed-effects panel regressions, we find that unsegmented regressions hide heterogeneous associations between population and economic growth, except for the growth in the working-age population that benefits all groups of countries. With regard to population growth components, fertility growth is only beneficial in high-income countries, while it is neutral in others. Net immigration benefits…
Can coaching bridge the gap for incoming Latinx graduate students
Attrition rates in the first two years of graduate school are high and ~50% higher for underrepresented students. Here we evaluate an online group coaching intervention using a controlled and an experimental group to determine its impact on skills that are likely predictors of student success, namely the Hallmark of Success indices developed by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Our intervention includes eight online coaching sessions (four…
Can colonial tax havens stimulate economic growth
Does sovereignty help economic growth? A recent reassessment
Debt, colony, morality, and other odious cocktails
The effect of consecutive disasters on educational outcomes
From Undergraduate Research to Graduation
Based on several regression specifications that control for a host of covariates, this article demonstrates that the quantity of undergraduate research experience was by far the most important determinant for increased graduation rates at a 100% Hispanic-serving institution. Our finding also shows a causal relationship confirmed by propensity score matching analyses. Results underscore the high impact but sometimes underestimated contribution of …
Boom and Bust in Puerto Rico
According to both peer-reviewed academic sources and nonacademic sources, there are several factors involved in Puerto Rico's unsustainable indebtedness.A.W. Maldonado's Boom and Bust in Puerto Rico: How Politics Destroyed an Economic Miracle belongs largely to the second strand of literature because most of the sources it engages are non-peer-reviewed documents.The book is easy to read for a general audience and is useful for the historical narr…
