On Friday 18 October 2024, J. Pacheco Miranda will defend the doctoral thesis titled: ‘The Impact of Crises on Human Capital Formation – Cases from Ecuador‘.
Brief summary:
This thesis consists of three essays that explore the impact of three different shocks that affected Ecuador in 1999, in 2016 and in 2020. Specifically, the thesis studies the effects of an economic crisis in 1999, an earthquake in 2016 and the Covid pandemic in 2020 on children’s human capital formation. The thesis provides estimates of the impact of shocks in the short, medium, and long term, on both health and education and for the population at large. Depending on the essay, the analysis relies on secondary data, universal national administrative data, and nationally representative surveys.
