J-PAL Latinoamérica y el Caribe

J-PAL Latinoamérica y el Caribe (LAC) es un centro de investigación que busca reducir la pobreza y mejorar la calidad de vida de los habitantes de América Latina y el Caribe, creando evidencia de lo que realmente funciona. Nuestros académicos afiliados miden el impacto de programas a través de evaluaciones aleatorizadas, y luego utilizamos lo aprendido para influir en el diseño de las políticas públicas.
