Social Life Cycle Assessment of Mexico City's Water Cycle

Advanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023
A total of 0.062 worker‐hours (WH) for 1 m3 of water used in Mexico City is estimated. Ninety‐four percent of this time present a high potential risk of social impact on the quality of employment. While 5% implies a high potential risk of adequate public water services for local communities in the Cutzamala system.

A Bayesian model for estimating Sustainable Development Goal indicator 4.1.2: School completion rates

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society: Series C (Applied Statistics), Volume 71, Issue 5, Page 1822-1864, November 2022., 2022
Abstract Estimating school completion is crucial for monitoring Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 on education. The recently introduced SDG indicator 4.1.2, defined as the percentage of children aged 3–5 years above the expected completion age of a given level of education that have completed the respective level, differs from enrolment indicators ...

Flexible domain prediction using mixed effects random forests

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society: Series C (Applied Statistics), Volume 71, Issue 5, Page 1865-1894, November 2022., 2022
AbstractThis paper promotes the use of random forests as versatile tools for estimating spatially disaggregated indicators in the presence of small area‐specific sample sizes. Small area estimators are predominantly conceptualised within the regression‐setting and rely on linear mixed models to account for the hierarchical structure of the survey data.

La migración como determinante de la obesidad infantil en Estados Unidos y Latinoamérica

Obesity Reviews, Volume 22, Issue S5, Octubre 2021., 2021
Resumen La migración internacional tiene consecuencias económicas y en la salud. El proceso de aculturación en el país de acogida puede estar relacionado con la obesidad infantil. Utilizamos el marco conceptual del balance energético comunitario (CEB, por sus siglas en inglés) para analizar la relación entre migración y obesidad infantil en los hogares

Domain prediction with grouped income data

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society: Series A (Statistics in Society), Volume 184, Issue 4, Page 1501-1523, October 2021., 2021
Abstract One popular small area estimation method for estimating poverty and inequality indicators is the empirical best predictor under the unit‐level nested error regression model with a continuous dependent variable. However, parameter estimation is more challenging when the response variable is grouped due to data confidentiality concerns or ...

Inequality, living standards, and growth: two centuries of economic development in Mexico†

The Economic History Review, Volume 74, Issue 3, Page 584-610, August 2021., 2021
Abstract Historical wage and income data provide both normative measures of living standards, and indicators of patterns of economic development. This study shows that, given limited historical data, median incomes are most appropriate for measuring welfare and inequality, while urban unskilled wages can be used to test dualist models of development ...
