School segregation in Ecuador
School segregation by socioeconomic level refers to the unequal distribution of students in educational centers according to their economic level. This article quantifies school segregation in Ecuador and its cantons in 2019 and analyzes its territorial distribution. Using the 2019 ‘Ser Bachiller’ database, four segregation indicators are calculated at the national and cantonal levels: the Gorard index in the equality dimension, and the Isolation…
Addressing Students' Educational Aspirations Through Information Provision
This study explores the gaps in educational aspirations in a sample of public high school students in Ecuador and runs a randomized controlled trial to investigate the impact of information about the returns and costs of education on their aspirations to high school, technical training, and university. The results show that the gaps in university aspirations are the greatest among students with low self-confidence levels and among students whose …
Regional intergenerational mobility in Ecuador
We analyse the regional differences in eight measures of intergenerational mobility across cantons in Ecuador. Within-country estimates show heterogeneity with lands of opportunity, such as the Galápagos, and areas where poverty traps prevail, namely the Central Andes. This study also finds that better opportunities for children are associated with locations that have higher levels of migration, schooling, agriculture, family self-employment and …
Discontent with democracy in Latin America
Satisfaction with democracy registered its lowest global score in 2019, with Latin America being the worst-performing region and the most seized by social protest. This paper briefly surveys and assesses the main narratives that attempt to explain the causes of this discontent in the region. The results show that discontent has different roots, which are mostly explained from an individual point of view rather than from a contextual one. Inequali…
Unveiling the internal migration dynamics in Ecuador between 2001 and 2010
This paper unveils the dynamics of internal migration in Ecuador using data from the last two census. The use of chord diagrams allows one to identify the changing patterns of migration between provinces. In the last period, internal migration decreased notably, and traditional destination provinces lost importance in favour of a more balanced redistribution of people within the country
Cigarette Smoking and the Cost of Hospital and Physician Care
Smoking is widely known to affect health adversely. The consequent cost to the publicly funded Canadian health-care system is a matter of considerable policy interest. We consider two core elements of health care: hospitals and physicians. This study, unlike previous Canadian studies, uses the econometric approach to assess these costs. The availability of the 1995 Newfoundland Adult Health Survey makes that application feasible. That survey cove…

An empirical analysis of the dimensions of health status measures
Institutional Outpatient Clinics
An outpatient clinic of a charity hospital, managed by a medical school of a large Latin American country, was studied to assess the characteristics of the patients and the management of their conditions. All medical records of registered patients of the clinic were abstracted for identification, demographic and clinical data, for two periods of one month each, yielding 2,153 patient observations. The study period represented 18 per cent of the t…
