Social Conflict in Rural Regions and Firm Ownership: Evidence from the Mining Sector in Latin America

Lunes, 14 diciembre 2020

Using firm-level data for five countries in Latin America we find a negative and statistically significant link between social conflict in rural areas and ownership of mines. This result suggests that the social conflict around mining projects can affect strategic firm behavior intended to diversify risk in the face of social, political and financial pressures.

The impact of pharmaceutical innovation on cancer mortality in Mexico, 2003–2013

Viernes, 02 octubre 2020

Frank R. Lichtenberg assessed the impact that pharmaceutical innovation had on cancer mortality in Mexico during the period 2003–2013, by investigating whether there were larger declines in the age-standardized mortality rate of cancer sites (breast, lung, colon, etc.) that were subject to more pharmaceutical innovation, controlling for changes in the age-standardized cancer incidence rate. The

Lunes, 29 julio 2019

This paper uses different approaches to determine the contribution of internal policies and external factors on the good performance of the Bolivian economy in the recent past. It is demonstrated that the extremely favorable external conditions are mainly responsible for its bonanza, and that the domestic policies have, probably, caused more harm, than good. The

Delineating functional territories from outer space | Latin American Economic Review

Jueves, 16 mayo 2019

The delimitation of functional spatial units or functional territories is an important topic in regional science and economic geography, since the empirical verification of many causal relationships is affected by the size and shape of these areas.
