Does use of formal and informal credit reduce poverty in rural Mexico
The Impact of Seguro Popular on the Progression of Disabilities Among Older Adults With Chronic Degenerative Diseases in Mexico
In a context of population aging, poverty, and inequalities including in the access to healthcare services, in 2004 Mexico initiated Seguro Popular (SP), a non-contributory health insurance providing coverage for informal sector workers excluded from social security. We analyze the impact of SP on the progression of functional limitations among adults aged over 50 with chronic degenerative diseases previously without stable health insurance. Pane…
El impacto de las remesas internacionales en los gastos en salud de los hogares mexicanos
International remittances represent a fundamental role in household expenditures. The purpose of this article is to estimate the impact of these transfers on health expenditures and the lack of access to health services in Mexican households at national, rural, and urban levels. Using Propensity Score Matching techniques, our results suggest that remittances contribute to reducing the lack of access to health services and increasing householdsí h…
The risk of psychological distress among unemployed and underemployed Mexican and Colombian immigrants in the US and in their countries of origin
The impact of remittances on food insecurity
Literature has provided evidence that remittances have an impact on (economic) development and quality of life in developing countries. However, little is known about how remittances from different origins are used in relation to food insecurity. Using data from the CONEVAL Rural Households Surveys (ENCHOR) of 2013 and 2015, we estimate ordered probit regressions with instrumental variables in order to assess the potentially distinct impacts of i…
The roll-out of a health insurance program and its impact on the supply of healthcare services

Desempleo y salud mental en la población de origen hispano en Estados Unidos
Las altas tasas desempleo observadas en Estados Unidos durante la reciente crisis económica, que además son diferenciadas de acuerdo al origen étnico, hacen pertinente indagar acerca de cómo este problema se relaciona con la salud mental de los empleados y desempleados. Por tanto, en este artículo analizamos la relación entre desempleo y salud mental de los inmigrantes mexicanos, mexicanos nacidos en EE.UU, y otros hispanos en comparación con nat…
Quality differences of higher education and its determinants in a less-developed country
Two key measures to determine the quality of higher education are the performance of students and the accreditation of a programme's quality. We analyse the difference in the distributions of the student's scores in a standardised test of economics knowledge between accredited and non-accredited undergraduate economics programmes in a less-developed country. We estimate what the distribution of scores in non-accredited programmes would have been …
Housing Consumption and Financial Policy Instruments in the Netherlands
Reforming the system of financial instruments on the housing market is a recurring issue. This paper constructs a model explaining household behaviour, in particular the effects of prices and income on the tenure choice and the level of housing consumption. It analyses the effects that may be expected of fundamental changes of financial policy instruments in the Netherlands: (1) a conversion of below market rents to market rent levels; (2) a swit…
Eligibility for long-term care in The Netherlands
In The Netherlands, eligibility for subsidised long-term care services is assessed by regional governmental assessment agencies. We examined which factors predict eligibility for eight long-term care alternatives, ranging from a variety of arrangements for care at home to admissions to residential and nursing homes. Data were drawn from the records of a sample of the regional assessment agencies, mostly during the year 2000. The model shows that …
