Responses in child health to concerted reconstruction efforts in the aftermath of the 2016 earthquake in Ecuador
The paper explores the short-term impact of recovery in the aftermath of a natural disaster on a set of child health outcomes. We analyze the impacts of a major earthquake with a magnitude of 7.8 that occurred on the coast of Ecuador on April 16, 2016. As damage was geographically concentrated, affected infrastructure and individuals could be readily identified. We implement a quasi-experimental difference-in-difference (DiD) strategy with geo-re…
Road to perdition? The effect of illicit drug use on labour market outcomes of prime-age men in Mexico
This research addresses the impact of illicit drug use on labour market outcomes of men in Mexico. We leverage statistical information from three waves of a comparable national survey and make use of the Lewbel's heteroskedasticity-based instrumental variable strategy to deal with the endogeneity of the drug consumption. Our results suggests that drug consumption has fairly negative effects in the Mexican context: it reduces employment, occupatio…
Evaluating the impact of the International Baccalaureate
This study provides an evaluation of the impact of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme introduced in 2006 to 200 public schools in Ecuador. Using a combination of different methodologies in order to have a credible identification strategy, we find that the International Baccalaureate Diploma has a positive impact on academic achievements as well as on secondary school progression
Acceso y equidad a la educación superior y posgrado en el Ecuador, un enfoque descriptivo
Se analiza el acceso a la educación superior en el Ecuador con un enfoque de equidad donde se muestra en términos descriptivos la relación con la pobreza y, aunque no se considera el tema de la calidad de la educación, todos, de los muchos estudios realizados y teorías, plantean una fuerte sinergia educación-pobreza. Es por eso el interés de este análisis a través de indicadores de cobertura de educación y niveles de consumo. El enfoque teórico d…

Impact of two policy interventions on dietary diversity in Ecuador
Objective To differentiate the effects of food vouchers and training in health and nutrition on consumption and dietary diversity in Ecuador by using an experimental design. Design Interventions involved enrolling three groups of approximately 200 randomly selected households per group in three provinces in Ecuador. Power estimates and sample size were computed using the Optimal Design software, with a power of 80 %, at 5 % of significance and wi…
Can provision of free school uniforms harm attendance? Evidence from Ecuador
The Role of International Remittances in Health Outcomes in Ecuador
This article evaluates the impact of remittances on health outcomes in Ecuador using an instrumental-variables approach. Although we do not find significant impacts on long-term child health variables, we find that remittances do have an impact on health expenditures, and on some preventive issues such as de-worming and vaccination. In addition, we find significant effects of remittances on medicine expenditures when illness occurs. In this regar…
