Mental health and catastrophic health expenditures in conflict-affected regions of Colombia before and during Covid-19
The objective of this study is to analyze the changes in catastrophic health expenditures (CHE) and out-of-pocket expenditures (OOP) before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as to examine their determinants in Meta, Colombia, a region affected by armed conflict. We used data from the Conflicto, Paz y Salud (CONPAS) survey and applied mixed-effects logistic regression models. The analysis places particular emphasis on mental health as a ke…
Unveiling policy gaps to better address the causes and drivers of tropical deforestation
Despite a clear understanding of the factors driving deforestation and the acknowledged need to control it, tropical deforestation remains a significant social and environmental challenge. Public policy can play a crucial role in combating tropical deforestation, yet gaps in policy formulation, operationalisation, and implementation can hinder its effectiveness. There is currently a lack of detailed analysis on policy gaps, especially concerning …
Mining-energy boom and local institutional capacities - the case of Colombia
Despite the burgeoning discussion about how the mining-energy sector affects local communities, the roles of local institutions remain understudied as one of the key factors to understand the impact of mining booms on local development. Literature has recently emerged analyzing the role institutions play and finds that natural resource booms can be a curse or a blessing. This article seeks to answer the research question: Do oil and coal-producin…
Análisis de los efectos de la inversión en innovación sobre el progreso técnico del sector industrial de plásticos en Bogotá

Fostering place-based coalitions between social movements and science for sustainable urban environments
The objective of this paper is to contribute to an important debate concerning the interaction between place-based social movements and the science, technology and innovation system. Our central proposition is that place-based social movements can facilitate unique local heterogeneous alliances with key actors of the science and technology system. A process of bricolage can emerge from these alliances whereby social movements are supported by the…
The effects of the mining-energy boom on inclusive development in Colombia
The relationship between new universities and new firms
We examine whether establishing a new university (or faculty) in a region affects new firm creation within that given region. We identified a quasi-experimental design based on Spain’s 1983 University Reform Act, which opened the door to founding new universities at the regional level. We use a generalized difference-in-difference model to estimate this relationship. The results indicate that establishing a new university has a significant positi…
