    Par Migration Unit (VPS/SCL/MIG)
    This dataset is the result of an experiment conducted in nine countries in Latin America and the Caribbean and published as the book "A Better World for Migrants in Latin America and the Caribbean". This project is joint work between the IDB and UNDP. The databases contain data collected for the impact evaluation of an intervention designed to explore which mechanisms are more effective in changing people's beliefs and attitudes toward migrants. The experiment was conducted in nine countries in Latin America and the Caribbean and consisted of two video interventions. The first video, the informative video, aimed to correct misinformation about the impact of migration by providing accurate information about the size of the migrant population and its characteristics. The second video, an emotive video, intended to appeal to the emotions and empathy of the local population.

    Par Fiscal Management Division (VPS/IFD/FMM)
    The database allows estimating structural fiscal balances for 20 countries in the region under different assumptions regarding the output gap and commodity structural prices. It is a unique database of its kind since: 1) It takes into consideration the distinct responsiveness of different types of revenues to changes in the output gap: In order to adjust for the impact of the business cycle on revenues, we calculate individual elasticities for each source of revenue (i.e. direct taxes, indirect taxes, revenues from non-renewable resources, etc.). Since the different types of revenues in the region have different sensitivities to changes in the output gap, this disaggregated approach allows for a more fine-tuned adjustment. 2) It includes estimations of SFBs based on output gaps projections available in real time. In addition to giving estimations of the actual SFBs, we provide with estimations of the SFBs that would have resulted should the projections on output gaps available to...

    Par Competitiveness, Technology and Innovation Division (VPS/PTI/CTI)
    To create and promote comprehensive regional innovation policy, it is important to have valid, comparable, and standardized innovation survey data from different countries in Latin America. The Harmonized Latin American Innovation Surveys Database (LAIS) contains nearly 690 variables and 119,900 observations at the firm level. Data are from 30 national innovation surveys conducted between 2007 and 2017 in 10 Latin American countries. The dataset increases the number of countries of the region with publicly available microdata about innovation at the firm level. The corresponding IDB technical note describes how criteria were applied to identify and select variables, whose data measure the same underlying concept, from substantially diverse innovation survey methods and questionnaires used in different Latin American countries. The availability of these data will allow more scholars to research innovation in Latin American firms and address long-standing unanswered questions about...

    Par Department of Research and Chief Economist (VPS/RES/RES)
    The IDB/Cornell Coronavirus Survey collects information related to labor market impacts, food security, social distancing, and knowledge of the Covid-19 pandemic through an online survey. The main modules of the questionnaire were standardized across countries to allow data to be pooled and cross-country comparisons to be made. The survey was launched in the first country on March 27, 2020, and most responses were collected during April 2020. Participants were recruited through social media using paid advertising campaigns. The data consists entirely of responses to an online survey and therefore does not collect information on the most vulnerable people, who are likely to lack access to the internet or social media. However, the survey contains information for people from different social strata and subnational regions. In this sense, the data are useful for analyzing different patterns by socioeconomic groups within a country and between countries. The data include weights to...

    Par Office of Strategic Planning and Development Effectiveness (STC/SPD/SPD)
    The Community Nutrition Program in El Alto, Bolivia is the second phase of a program originally implemented between 2008 and 2011. The newly-structured program had objectives to improve infant and young child feeding practices, hygiene, and child nutritional status through a behavioral-change strategy based on participatory play education. This dataset includes the data of an evaluation survey to this program, which contains three rounds of data—Baseline (2014), endline 1 (2016) and endline 2 (2017)—on an (unbalanced) panel of 2015 households with children under the age of 12 months or pregnant women at baseline. The survey includes a rich set of socio-economic, demographic and nutrition variables. Datasets were anonymized to protect subject privacy. Variable names, their labels, and any actions taken for de-identification purposes are noted in the codebook below.
