The macroeconomic effects of public investment: Evidence from advanced economies
2015
This paper provides new evidence of the macroeconomic effects of public investment in advanced economies. Using public investment forecast errors to identify the causal effect of government investment in a sample of 17 OECD economies since 1985 and model simulations, the paper finds that increased public investment raises output, both in the short term and in the long term, crowds in private investment, and reduces unemployment. Several factors shape the macroeconomic effects of public investment. When there is economic slack and monetary accommodation, demand effects are stronger, and the public-debt-to-GDP ratio may actually decline. Public investment is also more effective in boosting ou…
The Impact of Population Ageing and Social Stratification: The Case of Latvia

The aim of this article is to investigate the relationships between population ageing and social stratification and the state of economy of a small and post-transition economy. We are looking for these relationships and their strength of influence; at what time after shocking these variables reach their original levels. We apply standard Granger (non-) causality tests, VAR (Vector Auto-Regressive), IRF (Impulse Response Function) and the prediction error variance analysis by using quarterly data from 2000 to 2018.…
Determining Factors of High Social Connotation Crimes in the Metropolitan Region. A logistic model analysis.
2018
Resumen Las iniciativas enfocadas sólo en acciones de control policial, si bien elevan la percepción de seguridad, no actúan sobre las causas multifactoriales de un problema social dinámico y complejo.

El objetivo de este trabajo es medir la incidencia de factores espaciales, temporales y elementos de contexto que caracterizan a las comunas de la Región Metropolitana de Chile (2014), en la probabilidad de ocurrencia de del…
