abstract = {This paper contributes to the discussion on policies for providing utilities and on their contribution to reducing inequality. The uniqueness of the Colombian scheme to target subsidy beneficiaries and contributors provides valuable lessons for policymakers, academics, and urban planners regarding the difficulties and implications of such a segmenting government intervention in countries of the Global South. Among the unintended consequences of the scheme are deepening spatial segregation, distorted economic incentives, and poor correspondence of the welfare system with stratification categories.},

abstract = {This paper examines the linkages between urban form and city productivity using seven alternative metrics for urban form and applying them to a comprehensive sample of Latin-American cities. While most of the literature has concentrated on the effects of population density (compact vs. sprawling urban development), this paper seeks to assess whether different dimensions of a city’s urban form, such as shape, structure, and land use, affect its economic performance. We found that both the shape of the urban extent and the inner-city connectedness have a statistically significant association with the productivity level of a city.},

abstract = {This paper provides empirical evidence on the impact of institutional fragmentation and metropolitan coordination on urban productivity in Latin American Cities. The use of night‐time lights satellite imagery and high-resolution population data allow us to use a definition of metropolitan area based on the urban extents that result from the union between the formally defined metropolitan areas and the contiguous patches of urbanized areas with more than 500,000 inhabitants. Initial results suggest that the presence of multiple local governments within metropolitan areas generate opposite effects in urban productivity. On the one hand, smaller governments tend to be more responsive and efficient, which increases productivity. But, on the other hand, multiple local governments face co‐ordination costs that result in lower productivity levels.},
