This is the first study conducted through a State Cancer Registry, in which the primary goal was to recruit participants for genetic counseling and testing for inherited breast cancer. In contrast to many prior studies, our results suggest that young black women with breast cancer are interested in participating in genetics studies.
La vivienda es el principal activo de la mayoría de los hogares y es un determinante importante de sus decisiones de financiamiento y consumo. A pesar de que la medición de la riqueza por vivienda es crucial para comprender el comportamiento económico de los hogares, este indicador no está disponible en México debido a la falta de datos comúnmente requeridos para su estimación. Este documento propone una metodología de cálculo más flexible, basada en el enfoque de cantidades por precios y el método de inventarios perpetuos, que relaja los requerimientos de información al tiempo que cumple con las directrices internacionales. Nuestros resultados sugieren que la riqueza por vivienda en México ha seguido una tendencia ascendente desde 2005, alcanzando niveles alrededor del 187% y 202% del PIB en 2020. Además, nuestra medida permite el cálculo de otros indicadores de los hogares, tales como el capital de vivienda y la riqueza neta total del sector
The COVID-19 pandemic not only generated real shocks affecting economic activity severely, but also a broad uncertainty that unleashed an extreme shock to financial markets. In this paper, we focus on the financial dimension of the pandemic from the viewpoint of an emerging market economy. Accordingly, we estimate a financial conditions index for Mexico since 1993 and find that the acute turmoil generated by the pandemic stands among the four largest episodes of financial distress experienced by the country. In addition, we find evidence suggesting that real variables have responded differently to shocks that worsen financial conditions than to shocks that improve them.
