The labor income gap between men and women in Latin America remains a barrier to achieving gender equality and sustainable development. In the Dominican Republic, this gap is particularly prevalent in the informal sector, among self employed workers, and in regions with higher female labor participation. Despite women often having a better job profile than men, the gap persists, pointing to the presence of gender biases. This paper aims to analyze the gender-based labor income gap in the Dominican Republic from 2000 to 2021, using data from the National Labor Force Surveys conducted by the National Statistics Office (ONE) and harmonized by the Inter- American Development Bank (IDB). Two models are employed for this analysis: the Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition and the Ñopo decomposition. The primary contribution of this paper lies in its long-term analysis of the gap, which provides insight into how it has evolved over time. The findings reveal a significant and statistically substantial labor income gap that cannot be explained by factors such as work experience or economic sector, suggesting that the causes are likely normative or discriminatory. The gap is most pronounced in the informal sector, among self-employed workers, and in regions with higher female labor participation. Although the analysis spans two decades, no clear trend of increase or decrease in the gap was observed. However, the unexplained portion of the gap has widened considerably, indicating a need for further investigation to understand and address this disparity.
Macroeconomic Effects of Fiscal Policy during the Covid-19 Crisis: Evidence from Bolivia at a Regional Level
(Our Lady of the Rosary University, 2023) Miguel Sebastiano Chalup Calmotti; Luis Fernando Escobar Caba
This paper evaluates the impact of the fiscal policy applied in Bolivia during the Covid-19 crisis at a regional level. It includes two analyses: the economic slowdown at a regional level analyzed through a mixed frequency Bayesian var with a stochastic volatility model, and the impact and effectiveness of the fiscal policy using a time-varying parameter var model. The results indicate that the pandemic had a heterogeneous effect on the region’s economic activity and the capital expenditure from the national treasury was the most effective fiscal policy to reduce the recessive effects of the crisis. We also noted that some regions positively reacted to regional and local government capital expenditure.
Municipios de Santa Cruz en el periodo de la Participación Popular. ¿Convergencia o divergencia?
(2022) Casto Martín Montero Kuscevic; Miguel Sebastiano Chalup Calmotti
La teoría de la convergencia beta sugiere que las regiones pobres tenderán a crecer a tasas más altas que las regiones ricas, por lo que eventualmente la brecha entre ambas debería reducirse. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar el fenómeno de convergencia para los municipios de Santa Cruz durante el periodo 1992-2012, que coincide con el de aplicación de la ley de Participación Popular, usando el Índice de Necesidades Básicas Insatisfechas como variable “proxy” para pobreza.
