Su desarrollo como centros neurálgicos de la vida de los países condujo a superar el concepto que los definía como meras delimitaciones geográficas, limitadas a la preponderancia de los gobiernos nacionales. Lo anterior es particularmente cierto en el caso de la Ciudad de México. Con una población que ronda los nueve millones de habitantes, es la segunda ciudad más poblada de América Latina. Asimismo, es el centro social y económico de una conurbación que rebasa los veinte millones de habitantes. Sin embargo, su grandeza no sólo radica en el número, sino en la diversidad que cada uno de sus habitantes representa.

  • Do Cash Transfers Improve Birth Outcomes? Evidence from Matched Vital Statistics, Program and Social Security Data
    Do Cash Transfers Improve Birth Outcomes? Evidence from Matched Vital Statistics, Program and Social Security Data Verónica Amarante Marco Manacorda Universidad de la República, Uruguay Queen Mary University of London, CEP (LSE) [email protected] CEPR and IZA [email protected] Edward Miguel Andrea Vigorito University of California Berkeley and NBER Universidad de la República, Uruguay [email protected] [email protected] This version: March 2013 There is limited empirical evidence on whether cash social assistance to poor pregnant women improves children’s birth outcomes. Using a unique array of program and social security administrative micro-data matched to longitudinal vital statistics on the universe of births in Uruguay, we estimate that participation in a generous cash transfer program - on the order of 25 percent of household income - led to a sizeable reduction in the incidence of low birth weight, on the order of 17 to 19 percent. Effects are not driven by changes in fertility or other behavioral changes that we can detect in our data. We conclude that, by improving child health, cash transfers may help break the cycle of intergenerational poverty, JEL codes: J88, I38, J13. Keywords : cash transfers, birthweight, Regression Discontinuity.

  • U20 Rome-Milan 2021 – Urban 20 Calls on G20 To
    TRADUZIONE ITALIANA DI CORTESIA Guidati dalle città co-presidenti di Roma e Milano, noi, i sindaci e governatori delle città sottoscritte, riuniti come Urban 20 (U20), invitiamo i Leader del G20 a collaborare con le città per realizzare società incentrate sull’uomo, eque, a emissioni zero, a prova di cambiamenti climatici, inclusive e prospere. La natura trasformativa dell'Agenda 2030 offre alle città un'opportunità chiave per promuovere un nuovo paradigma di sviluppo sostenibile e avviarsi verso una ripresa resiliente dalla crisi umanitaria causata dal COVID-19. Sindaci e governatori sono in prima linea nella risposta alla pandemia da COVID-19 e all'emergenza climatica. Il modo in cui i leader indirizzeranno i finanziamenti per la ripresa da COVID-19 rappresenta la sfida più significativa per qualsiasi governo impegnato nella risposta a pandemia ed emergenza climatica. La pandemia da COVID-19 ha messo in luce la solidarietà tra città e ha sottolineato l'importanza di lavorare insieme a soluzioni locali che garantiscano che nessuno e nessun luogo vengano dimenticati. Ha sottolineato che istituzioni pubbliche forti e la fornitura di servizi sono vitali per la coesione delle nostre comunità e per garantire l'accesso universale all'assistenza sanitaria in maniera equa per tutti. Per garantire che la fornitura di servizi pubblici a livello locale venga mantenuta, che le persone siano protette e che si realizzi una ripresa verde, giusta e sostenibile dalla pandemia da COVID- 19, le città devono avere accesso diretto a forniture e finanziamenti da fonti internazionali e nazionali, per esempio dai recovery plan nazionali. L'accesso equo ai vaccini deve essere garantito a tutti, in particolare alle città dei paesi in via di sviluppo.

  • Urban Forced Removals in Rio De Janeiro and Los Angeles: North-South Similarities in Race and City
    \\jciprod01\productn\I\IAL\44-2\IAL207.txt unknown Seq: 1 1-NOV-13 13:43 337 Urban Forced Removals in Rio de Janeiro and Los Angeles: North-South Similarities in Race and City Constance G. Anthony1 In April of 2010, Rio de Janeiro’s mayor, Eduardo Paes, announced that two in-city, poor, and largely Afro-Brazilian neighborhoods, Morro dos Prazeres and Laboriaux, would be cleared and all inhabitants would be forced to move.2 Despite dev- astating winter storms, which had indicated again the precarious- ness of Rio’s hillside favelas, this was not really new news.3 Rio’s favelas have experienced a century of forced removal.4 The early neighborhoods were built in historically undesirable, beautiful, but steeply inaccessible parts of Rio, and today these are impor- tant pieces of Rio’s real estate.5 For more than a century, many such favelas have allowed poor, working class Afro-Brazilians immediate access to the city below.6 While there are incredible challenges with living in neighborhoods cut off from good, or in some cases even basic, city services and infrastructure, the resources of the city at large continued to make these neighbor- hoods highly desirable for those who lived, and as importantly, worked there.7 Cities across the globe use this mandate for the forced move- ment of poor populations out of in-city urban neighborhoods.8 1. Constance G. Anthony is Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at Seattle University. She received her PhD at the University of California, Berkeley. She has published a book on the politics of international aid and technology transfer with Columbia University Press, and articles on US science policy, refugees, and famine in Africa as well as the philosophical foundations of US interventionism.
