Forests, Coca, and Conflict: Grass Frontier Dynamics and Deforestation in the Amazon-Andes
Population growth with weak economic development can promote tropical deforestation, but government infrastructure investment can also open new frontiers and thus increase deforestation. In the Andean region of South America, population growth has been a leading explanation for both deforestation and coca cultivation, but coca generates armed conflict and attracts counter-drug measures, obscuring the differences between population-driven and fron…
Social Investment and Smallholder Coca Cultivation in Colombia
Colombia is the largest supplier of coca leaf in the world, and fields smaller than one-hectare account for more than 60 per cent of cultivation. Despite the obvious relevance of smallholding growers to the strategies to control illicit crops, there are few insights into what motivates these smallholders to cultivate coca. We analyse the motivations of coca growers by estimating a discrete choice model including head of household characteristics,…
Opposition Support and the Experience of Violence Explain Colombian Peace Referendum Results
What factors led to the surprise defeat of the Colombian peace referendum? Initial analyses suggested a link between support for peace and the experience of violence, but economic conditions and political support for incumbent parties also affect electoral outcomes. We use Bayesian hierarchical models to test links between referendum result and previous violence victimization, economic conditions, and support for Centro Democrático (the main part…
Economic crisis promotes fertility decline in poor areas: Evidence from Colombia
The effects of an economic recession extend beyond financial spheres and spill over into present and future family decisions via income restrictions and expectations. Hardly any research on the effects of economic recession on fertility outcomes has taken
New answers to an old problem: Social investment and coca crops in Colombia
Demographic Characteristics of High School Math and Science Teachers and Girls' Success in STEM
Given the prestige and compensation of science and math-related occupations, the underrepresentation of women and people of color in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics majors (STEM) perpetuates entrenched economic and social inequities. Explanations for this underrepresentation have largely focused on individual characteristics, including uneven academic preparation, as well as institutional factors at the college level. In this ar…
La caña de azúcar: Una Amarga Externalidad
There have been many studies on the relationship between air pollution and respiratory health, but these have usually been conducted in large cities of developed countries, where pollution is associated to mobile and fixed-source emissions. This study was conducted in a small Colombian city of fewer than 300,000 residents, but with substantial air pollution from sugar cane burning. To establish how sugar cane burning relates to respiratory health…
