Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Latin America has often been regarded as a region with deep ethnic and class conflicts. The difficulty of assessing this from an economic perspective is two fold: there is little solid, unbiased, and systematic data to provide convincing empirical evidence, and there is a dearth of empirical methods to identify specific discriminatory-based behavior as opposed to related behavior that might only appear to be discriminatory. This book uses a variety of methodological tools to explore the extent to which discrimination against women and demographic minorities is pervasive in Latin America.
