Sharing common measures of the environment across continents: Challenges and opportunities for global studies of aging
Harmonized measures facilitate cross-country comparisons of environmental exposures but require careful consideration of confounding by place and time and differential measurement to ensure robust inferences
Own and parental schooling, gender, and cognitive performance based on the Harmonized Cognitive Assessment Protocol (HCAP) among older Chilean adults
Objectives This study aimed to investigate associations of own and parental schooling with cognitive performance measured using the Harmonized Cognitive Assessment Protocol (HCAP) in Chile, a context distinct from previous studies using the HCAP. Methods Using Chile-Cog HCAP data linked to the Chilean Social Protection Longitudinal Survey, we used multivariate-adjusted regressions for individuals aged ≥60 to estimate associations between own and …
Developmental Losses in Young Children from Preprimary Program Closures during the Covid-19 Pandemic
The learning and developmental losses from preprimary program closures due to COVID-19 may be unprecedented. These disruptions early in life can be long-lasting. Although there is evidence about the effects of school closures on older children, there is scarce evidence on such losses for children in their early years. This article is among the first to quantify the actual impact of pandemic-related closures on early child development, in this cas…

The implications of studying politeness in Spanish-speaking contexts: A discussion
In the last decades, the studies on politeness have discussed central concepts stemming from Brown and Levinson’s work ([1978] 1987), such as face , threats , mitigations and strategies of politeness . One of the problems that the study of politeness presents for the analysis of a situated corpus of speech is that the use of the mentioned notions calls for a socio-cultural perspective. In other words, it is necessary to include extralinguistic fa…
(Im)politeness in Spanish-speaking socio-cultural contexts: Introduction
The papers collected for this special issue of Pragmatics continue the discussion on the phenomena of politeness in Spanish, initiated and sustained within EDICE Programme (Estudios del Discurso de la Cortesa en Espaol, 'Studies on the Discourse of Politeness in Spanish') 1 . The purpose of this collection is to provide recent research on politeness in and about Spanish to the international academic community. To meet these objectives, each paper…
Atenuación, conflicto interlocutivo e identidad de imagen
En este trabajo se reflexiona, en primer término, acerca del valor como categoría analítica de las estrategias de cortesía atenuadora. Se sostiene que, para interpretar que se ha producido una atenuación, es necesario identificar la actividad comunicativa que se evalúa como amenazante en ese contexto. Una estrategia de cortesía atenuadora se define como aquella cuya función es disminuir el efecto social negativo que pueda tener una actividad de i…

Wealth Gradients in Early Childhood Cognitive Development in Five Latin American Countries
Research from the United States shows that gaps in early cognitive and non-cognitive ability appear early in the life cycle. Little is known about this important question for developing countries. This paper provides new evidence of sharp differences in cognitive development by socioeconomic status in early childhood for five Latin American countries. To help with comparability, we use the same measure of receptive language ability for all five c…

Discrimination in Latin America: An Economic Perspective
This book presents a set of studies on contemporary discrimination in Latin America that takes advantage of these new tools by focusing on social interactions that range from cooperation, group formation, and the impact of migration in poor families to specific markets such as housing and labor. The techniques applied include traditional regression analysis, experimental approaches, and audit studies, as well as structural methods. This wide rang…

Human Capital, Wealth, Property Rights, and the Adoption of New Farm Technologies: The Tawahka Indians of Honduras
Interest in vanishing rain forests has led scholars to say that the adoption of new farm technologies such as improved plant varieties could increase yields, thus reducing deforestation. Results of past studies show that human capital (e.g., schooling, literacy), wealth, and security of land tenure help farmers adopt new farm technologies. These studies have focused on villages with tight links to the market and little land. Do results apply to m…
Technological Adoption in Rural Cochabamba, Bolivia
A survey of about one thousand smallholder households in the Department of Cochabamba, Bolivia, is used to examine the determinants of adoption of new farm technologies. A historical analysis shows that government policies since colonial days have made it difficult for smallholders to accumulate assets and improve farm productivity. The survey is used to identify the ecological and socioeconomic determinants of the adoption of chemical fertilizer…
