The Labor Market Effect of South-to-South Migration
Following Venezuela's economic collapse, millions have fled the country. This article assesses the impact of the migration wave on the labor market outcomes of migrants and nonmigrants in Colombia, the major recipient of Venezuelan refugees and migrants. We address potential endogeneity problems in the estimation using a Bartik-type instrumental variable approach that exploits the regional variation of migrant networks and the timing and intensit…

This article explores the short-term effects of the COVID-19 crisis on gender gaps in the Colombian labor market. Colombia offers an interesting case for analysis because, as with most countries in the Global South, its combination of formal and informal labor in the labor market complicates the pandemic’s aftermath. This analysis highlights the differences between men’s and women’s labor outcomes in terms of the effects of the crisis. Specifical…
Labor flows across firm size, age, and economic sector in Colombia vs. the United States
Labour market fluidity and employment outcomes in Colombia
Labour market flexibility has been a traditional subject of study in labour economics; recent literature has focused on the related concept of fluidity, broadly understood as the mobility of workers and jobs in the labour market.

Recent developments in equilibrium unemployment models predict, in gene…
Medios de transporte sostenibles y mercado de bienes residenciales. Un análisis para Medellín
This paper analyzes the effect of pollution on housing prices. In particular, we explore the effect of Metroplús on housing prices in Medellin city for 2010 and 2012 years, and the direct impact of air pollution and public transport coverage. We select treatment and control by georeferencing the households and according to a distance criterion of 750 meters. Using two methodologies: Difference in Differences (DD) and Propensity Score Matching wit…
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
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
