EGC Affiliates’ Research on Latin America and the Caribbean Featured in Oxford Open Economics Supplement
Research by Economic Growth Center affiliates and collaborators Orazio Attanasio and Ana De La O was recently published in the Latin American and Caribbean Inequality Review (LACIR) Supplement in Oxford Open Economics
Countries in Latin America and the Caribbean have some of the highest levels of inequality in the world, despite decades of social and economic change. Researchers at the Economic Growth Center examined this persistent inequality as part of the Latin America and Caribbean Inequality Review (LACIR), a joint effort between EGC, the Inter-American Development Bank, the London School of Economics, and the Institute for Fiscal Studies. Since its launch in 2021, more than 70 academics and policymakers have contributed to the Review. LACIR convened experts for a workshop at Yale on April 22-23, building on previous conferences held in Washington D.C. and Cartagena.
Oxford Open Economics recently published the findings generated by this group of international experts convened by the Latin American and Caribbean Inequality Review (LACIR) in a Supplement, which includes research by EGC affiliates and collaborators Orazio Attanasio and Ana De La O. Contributors include past EGC Kuznets visitors Santiago Levy and Marcela Eslava who discuss issues central to Latin American and Caribbean development today including inequality in early childhood development and the use of public services.
