Tailoring Inequality Research for the Latin American Context: Marcela Eslava, Santiago Levy, and Ana de la O on region-specific research collaboration
Manage episode 426624514 series 3409669
In Latin America, inequality has persisted despite major structural economic and social change. In order to help develop effective policies for a more equitable society, a new research initiative explores the causes and consequences of inequality within the Latin American context.
In this episode of Voices in Development, three leading social scientists discuss a project to develop “a shared vision” of inequality in Latin America. Marcela Eslava, Professor of Economics and Dean of the School of Economics at Universidad de los Andes in Bogotá, Colombia; Santiago Levy, a nonresident senior fellow with the Global Economy and Development Program at the Brookings Institution; and Ana de la O, Associate Professor of Political Science at Yale University, discuss their engagement with the Latin America and the Caribbean Inequality Review (LACIR), a collaborative effort between Yale, the Inter-American Development Bank, the London School of Economics, and the Institute for Fiscal Studies.
