Counseling trainees' experiences working with Afghan refugees: Building cultural humility
Using a thematic analysis, we examined the reflections of N = 14 counselors-in-training (CIT) who co-led groups with Afghan refugees. Five themes related to cultural humility emerged from the data. Implications for counselor educators leading community engaged programs that build cultural humility are discussed
Formal Employment and Organised Crime: Regression Discontinuity Evidence from Colombia
Safety net programs, common in settings with high informality like Latin America, often use a means test to establish eligibility. We ask: in settings in which organised crime provides lucrative opportunities in the informal market, will discouraging formal employment via benefits eligibility criteria increase criminal enterprise activity? We link administrative socioeconomic microdata with the universe of arrests in Medellín over a decade, and e…
Calidad, cobertura y costos ocultos de la educación secundaria pública y privada en Colombia
This paper describes the evolution of the coverage of secondary education in Colombia. We combine impact evaluation techniques and cost-benefit analysis to compare the quality of public and private secondary education. We document that the increase of the public enrollment is crowding-out the private supply, and we show a considerable variation in the standardized test (Saber 11) results within public schools. In some cities and socioeconomic str…
La Fenomenología del Lenguaje y el Concepto de la Razón Práctica en el Pensamiento de Charles Taylor
Taking as a starting point Taylor's concept about man as a being of meanings, this article examines, in particular, the way that Taylor elaborates his conception of the practical use of reason, recovering some fundamental notions of the phenomenological tradition and hermeneutics, relating to language, such as, the idea of the background, and the incarnated situation of man.Considering that, ultimately, the background is a horizon of previous ref…
La selección de portafolios y la frontera eficiente: El caso de la Bolsa de Medellín, 1990-1992
Este trabajo busca: brindar un mejor conocimiento de las opciones de rentabilidad y riesgo brindadas por las 32 acciones que componen el Índice de la Bolsa de Medellín (IBOMED), para el período 1990-1992, y establecer los principales cambios que han presentado estas opciones durante la década al compararlas con las del período 1979-1981.

Effects of Remittances on Household Consumption, Education Attendance and Living Standards: The Case of Colombia
We assess whether international remittances affect Colombian household’s expenditure composition and demand of education. We exploit the migratory wave and institutional barriers to migration that occurred during the late 1990s, identifying the effect of remittances on expenditure composition. The findings suggest a positive effect on education, with beneficiary households spending about 10 percent more of total expenditure on education than non-…
Demanda por servicios públicos domiciliarios y pérdida irrecuperable de los subsidios: El Caso Colombiano
We estimate demand functions of electricity and water for the main cities in Colombia, using as source of information the LSMS survey of 2003, and using a nonlinear methodology that take advantage of some particularities of the supply function that allow us identifying the demand in the presence of increasing block pricing, IBP. With the estimated demand functions, we get price and income elasticities, and we estimate the effect of rising subsidi…
