Desarrollamos proyectos propios de investigación y promovemos la interacción de académicos de diversas áreas de la economía, con particular énfasis en microeconomía.
Asimismo, difundimos los hallazgos y el aporte de la ciencia económica mediante la docencia y el desarrollo de iniciativas de diseminación.
Lima School of Economics, in association with Vancouver School of Economics, organizes the Lima Summer School in Economics on a yearly basis. Participants can attend mini courses on advanced and relevant topics in Economics taught by leading international researchers. Lima Summer School is a great opportunity for postgraduate and advanced undergraduate students in Latin America to interact with and learn from a world-class faculty. It also offers recent graduates and practitioners in economics the opportunity to develop and strengthen their areas of expertise.
The 2018 Lima Summer School in Economics will include the following topics: Regression Discontinuity Designs, Empirical Analysis of Wage Differences: Discrimination and Decomposition Methods, and Behavioral Economics Applied to Healthcare. The Faculty is composed by professors from Vancouver School of Economics as well as by associated members of Lima School of Economics.
The 2017 Lima Summer School in Economics will include the following topics: Identification Issues in Applied Econometrics, Taxation and Pension System Reform, and Banking and Corporate Finance in Emerging Economies. The Faculty is composed by professors from Vancouver School of Economics as well as by associated members of Lima School of Economics.
The 2016 Lima Summer School in Economics included three courses: Economics of Nonrenewable Resources: Overview and Recent Developments; Economics of Competition Policy; and Advanced Topics in Policy Evaluation and Research Design in Economics. The Faculty of the 2016 edition was formed by professors from Vancouver School of Economics as well as by associated members of Lima School of Economics: Dr. Brian Copeland (PhD Stanford University), Dr. Thomas Ross (PhD University of Pennsylvania) and Dr. Jose Galdo (PhD. University of Syracuse).

Two competing strands exist within the theoretical literature on vulnerability to poverty, each with its own policy implications. Vulnerability may be seen as low expected utility and thus stress the danger of self-perpetuating poverty, as the poor shy away from risky, yet necessary decisions to escape their hardship. Alternatively, vulnerability is often construed as expected poverty and provides policy-makers with a forward-looking viewpoint that both sheds light and raises new questions on how best to formulate the targeting of social spending. This paper provides an overview of the theoretical work underpinning each of these competing views.
Descarga el documentoThis paper examines the effects of long term improved cooking stoves (ICS) usage on selfreported eye irritation symptoms and respiratory health in the Northern Peruvian Andes. To identify the effect of ICS, we exploit field data related to the quasi-random distribution of ICS with faulty iron frames. Our results indicate that ICS long term usage, with an operative chimney, reduces respiratory illnesses and eye discomfort symptoms among housewives. It is also shown that in the case of respiratory health, other household members may benefit from reduced household air pollution (HAP) exposure.
Descarga el documentoThis paper proposes three indicators constructed from the surnames of the current population to analyze the effect of mita, a forced mining labor system in Peru and Bolivia during 1573 and 1812, on historical migration. The underlying assumption is that surnames within a community might be the same over time unless migration or mortality displacement takes place. The mita case is particularly appealing for applying our indicators because the use of surnames was introduced in the study region only since the Spanish conquest in 1532. We estimate the effect of mita by using a regression discontinuity design similar to the one conducted by Dell (2010), which exploits the exogenous variation in its geographic assignment.
Descarga el documentoFrontera Económica es un grupo de discusión en temas de investigación científica de diversas ramas de la economía. Participan estudiantes de economía de distintas universidades peruanas, con el respaldo de la Lima School of Economics.
Ver más...El despegue económico del Perú de los últimos años suele atribuirse a las buenas prácticas macroeconómicas y al contexto global favorable para el comercio internacional. Pero ¿qué rol cumple la empresa privada en el Perú? ¿Cuál es la realidad de la empresa peruana desde un punto de vista económico? ¿Cuáles son sus retos y cómo abordarlos? El inmenso campo académico de la economía de la empresa (business economics) ha sido poco explorado por los economistas locales, y constituye un interés central para la Lima School of Economics. Con el fin de fomentar investigación académica de vanguardia y diseminar resultados de este análisis a la comunidad en general y a los alumnos UDEP en particular, hemos constituido el Private Enterprise Program.
