Item type:Publication, Encuentros con lo nacional. Identidad e identificación en tres edificios públicos culturales en Lima, siglo XXI(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Facultad de Arquitectura y Urbanismo, 2025-04)El Perú enfrenta actualmente una crisis de representatividad entre la sociedad y sus instituciones. El presente artículo analiza el vínculo entre estos dos frentes a través de la arquitectura cultural de carácter nacional. Aspectos como los discursos, contenidos y contenedores (edificios) son puestos en discusión a través de un análisis comparativo que pone en valor sus cualidades identitarias. En este sentido, se seleccionaron tres edificios de gran relevancia para el panorama de la cultura nacional construidos durante el siglo XXI en Lima. Es así que los encuentros entre el ciudadano y su cultura mediante estas arquitecturas son determinantes para el desarrollo de la investigación. Dichos encuentros son piezas clave para la construcción de identidad, puesto que propician el reconocimiento de los individuos con su propia cultura. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Perspectiva de género en la profesión jurídica: revisión de la actuación de los colegios de abogados en casos de violencia de género relacionados con el ejercicio profesional(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2025-05-28)This article critically examines the way in which lawyers perpetuate situations of gender violence through their professional practice. It will explain the way in which the different bar associations have acted in Peru. To do so, we will begin by explaining the concept of gender violence and its connection with the actions of lawyers, with special reference to the recognition of judicial harassment as part of this form of violence. The context and value of the amendment made to the regulations on gender violence that recognized judicial harassment will be explained. Then, a specific case will be meticulously analyzed that involves the prolonged legal ordeal that a victim of judicial harassment has gone through. In this sense, apart from mentioning the measures imposed against the accused, this article focuses on the scrutiny of the responses of the various bodies that govern legal professionals in Peru in this changing facet of gender violence. After that, the position of the existing Peruvian legal profession on gender issues is addressed. Additionally, a structured framework is proposed to assess disciplinary cases in the context of gender-based violence. In that sense, through this exploration, the article strives to provide insight into the adaptive dynamics of the legal landscape to address this pressing concern. Finally, the conclusions will encompass reflections on the implications for legal ethics and gender justice in the Peruvian legal system.1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Perceptions of own social class and local affluence: Effects on preferences for redistribution(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Departamento de Economía, 2025-11)We conducted an online survey experiment in Lima to study how perceptions of social class shape support for economic redistribution. Participants were randomly informed about either their actual socio-economic status (SES) or the true share of affluent households in their district. Respondents substantially overestimated their own SES and, to a lesser extent, the prevalence of affluent households. Correctingthese misperceptions generally increased support for redistribution, with no effect on a wealth-tax proposal. Effects were especially strong when respondents had misjudged their SES by two or more levels: even those predisposed against redistribution (e.g., right-leaning, individualistic, or sceptical of government) increased their support. Similar patterns also emerged when correcting beliefs about the local distribution of SES. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, “Health versus Economy”: the Recurrence of a False Dilemma in Times of Crisis. The Case of the 1991 Cholera Epidemic in Peru(University of Rome La Sapienza, 2026-08-05)This article examines the 1991 cholera epidemic in Peru through the lens of a discursive construction of the so-called health-versus-economy dilemma. It contends that government officials and certain political sectors shaped this narrative of public health protection as a menace and incompatible with economic development in times of epidemics to shift attention away from structural responsibilities and legitimize the privileges of certain economic sectors. On the other hand, the poor urban household were charged with the responsibilities of assuming the costs of the epidemic. In doing so, the study positions the cholera epidemic as a key case for understanding how this discursive shift was produced and how it was able to function in an epidemic crisis. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Forecasting Peru’s GDP Growth and Inflation Using TVP-VARMA-SV Models(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Departamento de Economía, 2026-08)This paper evaluates the forecasting performance of the time-varying parameter VARMA model with stochastic volatility (TVP-VARMA-SV) of Chan and Eisenstat (2017) for Peru’s GDP growth and inflation over 1994Q1–2019Q4. Seven model specifications are compared using density and point forecast evaluation metrics. The main results show that models with a movingaverage (MA) component generally deliver better forecast performance. Log predictive likelihoods (LPLs) indicate that models with MA, stochastic volatility (SV), or both components provide the best density forecasts at the one-quarter horizon, while simpler VARMA models perform better at the four-quarter horizon. Mean squared forecast errors (MSFEs) and Theil’s U are also lowest for models with an MA component. Probability integral transformation (PIT) histograms show that models with MA and SV components achieve the best calibration at the one-quarter horizon, while raw-moments tests indicate that the TVP-VARMA-SV, VARMA, VAR, and Bayesian model selection (BMS) specifications perform best at the four-quarter horizon. The model confidence set (MCS) frequently includes simpler models, particularly those with an MA term, and Diebold-Mariano tests also tend to favor models with an MA component. Overall, the BMS strategy improves forecast accuracy by dynamically selecting the best-performing models. An extension to exchange rate growth forecasts shows that MA-based models again perform best, with the TVP-VARMA-SV specification delivering the largest gains at the four-quarter horizon. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Remote tutoring for learning recovery: Experimental evidence from a low-tech intervention in Peru(Elsevier Ltd, 2026-09-01)The COVID-19 pandemic worsened educational inequalities globally, particularly in low- and middle-income countries where prolonged school closures disrupted learning continuity. In Peru, these disruptions led to significant declines in students’ mathematics performance. This paper evaluates the impact of Desafía-T a aprender, a remote tutoring program implemented in the Peruvian highlands to address pandemic-related learning losses. The program provided eight phone-based math tutoring sessions to all participants (Group A) and three additional growth mindset sessions for female students (Group B). The study was conducted in 60 high schools in the Ayacucho region of Peru, randomly assigned in equal parts to treatment and control conditions. The evaluation assessed the program’s impact on mathematics skills and socio-emotional development, particularly growth mindset, and explored differences by area of residence and mother tongue. The intervention led to an average increase of 0.08 SD in mathematics performance and 0.17 SD in growth mindset when considering all students assigned to the treatment group. While the estimated effect on mathematics is significant at 10% level and should be interpreted as suggestive evidence, the improvement in students growth mindset is statistically significant at 5% level. Among students who received at least one session, the effect sizes were 0.14 SD in mathematics and 0.27 SD in the growth mindset index. These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of low-tech, scalable interventions in bridging learning gaps and promoting educational equity. The study provides evidence that can inform policymakers seeking cost-efficient solutions to mitigate learning losses and enhance student outcomes in resource-constrained contexts. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Environmental and Energy Sustainability in Wastewater Transportation: Integration of ISO 50001 and ISO 14040/14044 in the Replacement of Diesel with Compressed Natural Gas, Lima, Peru(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2026-08-01)Evidence combining energy management and life cycle assessment of diesel-to-CNG substitution under real fleet operation remains limited. The energy and environmental assessments were jointly applied over a common functional unit—the transport of 30 m3 of non-hazardous wastewater per documented service—with an annual reference flow of 82,422 m3·km derived from 38 services (1140 m3; 5905.2 km) in Lima, Peru. A single primary dataset fed both the energy baseline (characteristic monthly consumption of 22,828 ± 1435 MJ month−1; service-level intensities of (Formula presented.) vs. (Formula presented.) MJ (m3·km)−1, (Formula presented.), (Formula presented.)) and the life cycle inventory, assessed in SimaPro v9.6.0.1 (ReCiPe 2016 Midpoint (H)) under an extended tank-to-wheel boundary with Pedigree–Monte Carlo uncertainty propagation. The transition—fuel substitution combined with Euro V-to-Euro VI platform renewal—reduced energy intensity by 45.3% and direct-combustion GWP100 by 61.1%; this integrated effect is not attributable to the fuel change alone. Methane slip contributed 1.3% of the CNG GWP100, and only an upstream leakage of 15.5% of the delivered gas would cancel the climate benefit. Tire replacement remained the dominant hotspot (64.5%/51.7%); immediate 30-vehicle fleet conversion would avoid 2530 t CO2-eq over ten years. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Violent dispossessions: understanding the configuration of lived territories in two Ashaninka communities in the Peruvian central Amazon region Despojos violentos: análisis de la configuración de los territorios habitados en dos comunidades ashaninka de la región amazónica central de Perú(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2026-01-01)Working on the history of Asháninka communities in Peru, we encountered constant references to their territories. Given that territory is a living part of the communities, of their experiences and the space where their collective histories unfold, this article explores, through the accounts of comuneros, the intimate relationship between, on the one hand, the slow, persistent and interlinked violences that communities have faced throughout their history, and, on the other, dispossession and envelopment. We adopt an ethnographic approach and a qualitative and comparative methodology based on participant observation, in-depth interviews and social mapping carried out between 2023 and 2024 in the Asháninka communities of San Jerónimo and Shankivironi in the central Peruvian Amazonia, specifically in the Junín region. Drawing from the collaboratively worked accounts, we identify the experiences of violence in these communities, the transformations they bring about and the ways in which they are shaping their territories. We conclude that, in reconstructing the histories of these Asháninka communities, violence has been and remains constitutive of their collective history and is fundamental to understanding the configuration of their territories. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Incentives for cooperation by innovating firms in Peru(Inderscience Publishers, 2026-01-01)This study examines the factors influencing cooperation among innovating firms in Peru, with a focus on incoming spillovers and appropriability. Using data from the 2018 Innovation Survey of Manufacturing and Knowledge-Intensive Firms of Peru, we analyse the determinants of firms' decisions to engage in cooperative innovation. The results reveal that incoming spillovers significantly increase the likelihood and intensity of cooperation, while appropriability has limited impact. The findings suggest that firms collaborate primarily to access external knowledge, while protecting innovation investments is not a major concern. This research highlights the role of policy incentives in fostering innovation networks in developing economies, emphasising the need for targeted support to enhance collaboration. The study contributes to the understanding of innovation ecosystems in emerging markets and potentially may inspire policy recommendations to strengthen industrial competitiveness. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, The Frustrated Visit of the British Frigate HMS Montrose to Peru in 2012: An Explanation From the Decision-Making Process(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2026-09-01)Considering the Peruvian state's position on the Malvinas issue, the authorization and subsequent cancellation of the visit of the British frigate HMS Montrose in 2012 revealed institutional constraints and tensions. Based on a case study built from official sources, interviews, and statements, a classical theoretical approach using the Organizational and Bureaucratic Models is used to analyze the role of the main public actors involved in the decision-making process. In this sense, it is argued that the authorization followed institutional routines with little interaction between sectors, while the cancellation expressed a conflictive bureaucratic dynamic in which the Foreign Ministry was able to impose its position. The analysis also shows how Peruvian foreign policy decision-making operates under a high level of fragmentation, sectoral logics, unclear rules, and important power asymmetries between actors.
