Crime and Recidivism in Ecuador
This study examined the demographic characteristics that drive crime and recidivism in Ecuador using the first National Penitentiary Census (2022) that covers prisoners over 18 years nationwide.

In the case of having a job out of prison, on average, they are most likely to be under‐employed and earn less than the minimum wage. More past…

The relationship between online searches and suicide
AIMS: In this study, we examined the relationship between 131 suicide related Google search terms, grouped into nine categories, and the number of suicide cases per month in Ecuador from January 2011 to December 2021. METHODS: First, we applied time-series analysis to eliminate autocorrelation and seasonal patterns to prevent spurious correlations. Second, we used Pearson's correlation to assess the relationship between Google search terms and su…
What drives unhappiness? A cross-country analysis
We study the sources of misery (lowest level of life satisfaction) using the European Quality of Life 2016, a cross-sectional survey for 28 European Union countries. We use the decomposition of misery, multivariate analysis and a structural equation model to assess which are the main sources to explain misery: risk of depression (mental health), unemployment, poverty or chronic health problems (physical health). Regardless of the methodological a…

We aim to understand the causes and mechanisms of femicide across Latin American countries, as well as the possible effect of the legislation on femicide rate. We propose an econ…
