May 11, 2020 by Eduardo Cavallo - Bridget Hoffmann Leave a Comment

cambio climático CO2 América Latina covid-19 coronavirus PIB crecimiento económico desigualdad-min

A silver lining that has emerged from the Covid-19 pandemic is that CO2 emissions have decreased dramatically during the lockdowns. But that this is not necessarily good news for climate change.

April 30, 2020 by Eric Parrado Leave a Comment

Did Education and Job Experience Reduce Inequality in Latin America?

October 25, 2018 by Julián Messina Leave a Comment
