    A multilevel analysis of the returns to education in Ecuador. The multifaceted impact of human capital
    (Alexandru Ioan Cuza University, 2016) Orellana Bravo, Mercy Raquel; Raileanu Szeles, Monica; Argudo Barrera, Dalia Maritza
    This paper analyses the returns to education in Ecuador based on cross-sectional data collected by a National Survey at the individual- and canton-levels in 2005 and 2015. The multilevel analysis provides the methodological framework that allows capturing the regional peculiarities of data as well as addressing the high regional economic heterogeneity. The two level- random intercept and random slope models are used to examine the impact of individual-level and canton-level characteristics on the labour income. In subsidiary, the paper explains the proportion of variance in individual- level income that is explained by canton- level characteristics.

    (2015) Argudo Barrera, Dalia Maritza; Salamea Contreras, Lidia Joselyne; Sarmiento Jara, Juan Pablo
    In this paper, we estimate the impact of the “Pensión para Adults Mayores (PAM)” on household labor supply for the urban sector, measured by the average number of hours worked by the household, using the panel June 2012 – June 2013 of the ENEMDU. To determine the effect generated by the PAM was used the difference in differences combined with Propensity Score Matching. The results indicate that the pension for older adults has not had an indirect impact; ie no effect on the average labor supply of co-residents of a beneficiary, but rather is a direct impact on beneficiaries feminine. Therefore, there is not sufficient evidence to reject the household behavior conforms to a unitary model.
