There is substantial quantitative evidence linking higher state capacity to better health outcomes, but scant attention has been paid to the specific mechanisms through which this causal influence operates. The problem is compounded by the considerable diversity of ways in which the influence of the state on development outcomes has been conceptual...

En este ensayo se propone una reflexión sobre el estallido social chileno de 2019 a partir de la visión normativa de igualitarismo relacional de Elizabeth Anderson.

What leads to national progress? The growing consensus in the social sciences is that neither capital flows, nor the savings rate, nor diffuse values are the key, but that it lies in the quality of a nation's institutions. This book is the first comparative study of how real institutions affect national development. It seeks to examine and deepen t...

This paper’s main thesis is that Chile’s developmental performance of recent decades was underpinned by significant and systematic institutional change, and that this change is closely related with its transformation from a state-centered society to a market centered one. The analysis will focus on the changing process in a set of institutions high...
