Background: Effective, safe, and affordable antivirals are needed for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Several lines of research suggest that tenofovir may be effective against COVID-19, but no large-scale human studies with appropriate adjustment comorbidities have been conducted. Methods: We studied HIV-positive individuals on antiretroviral therapy (ART) in 2020 at 69 HIV clinics Spain. collected data sociodemographics, ART, CD4 + cell count, HIV-RNA viral-load, the following...
The results reported by different studies on telemonitoring in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have been contradictory, without showing clear benefits to date. objective of this study was ascertain whether an early discharge and home hospitalization telehealth program for COPD exacerbation is as effective more efficient than a traditional program. A prospective experimental non-inferiority study, randomized into two groups (telemedicine/control) conducted....
We assessed the prevalence and factors associated with HIV-infected patients' interest in trying long-acting injectable antiretroviral treatment (LAI-ART) along its expected benefits concerns, evaluated physicians' opinions about LAI-ART. This study was set within multi-center prospective CoRIS cohort, comprising HIV-positive adults, naïve to (ART) at entry, recruited from 2004 onward 48 centers Spain. In June 2022, we conducted a 2-day cross-sectional survey among patients across 34 sent an...
This paper introduces a transparent framework to identify the informational content of FOMC announcements. We do so by modelling expectations and private sector agents using state art computational linguistic tools on both statements New York Times articles. announcements as projection high frequency movements in financial assets onto differences expectations. Our recovered series is intuitively reasonable shows that information disclosure has significant impact yields short-term government bonds.
Borrowing constraints are a key component of modern international macroeconomic models. The analysis Emerging Markets (EM) economies generally assumes collateral borrowing constraints, i.e., firms access to debt is constrained by the value their collateralized assets. Using credit registry data from Argentina for period 1998-2020 we show that less than 15% based on assets, with remaining 85% cash flows. Exploiting central bank regulations over banks capital requirements and policies argue...
This paper quantifies the spillovers of US monetary policy in Emerging Market economies. By imposing sign restrictions on high-frequency surprises Fed Fund Futures and S\&P 500 I am able to identify two distinct FOMC shocks: a pure an information disclosure shock. On one hand, tightening caused by shock produces recession, exchange rate depreciation tighter financial conditions. other disclosing positive about state economy economic expansion, appreciation laxer These results help explain...
Abstract Background Effective, safe, and affordable antivirals are needed for COVID-19. Tenofovir has not been studied in randomized trials despite evidence consistent with its effectiveness against Methods We HIV-positive individuals on antiretroviral therapy (ART) 2020 at 69 HIV clinics Spain. collected data sociodemographics, ART, CD4-cell count, HIV-RNA viral load, comorbidities the following outcomes: laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection, COVID-19 hospitalization, intensive care...
How many combined features are relevant to a specific outcome in ML setup? Common sense says this number should not exceed handful or two. If we use the performance scores themselves select subsets of significant non-specific way, overfitting may tell us say more than twenty variables class. However, that be result dataset generalizing well. At least human mind is used reason about given relation so features. In paper, have conducted experiments, but using all possible and handful-sized...
This paper shows that disregarding the information effects around European Central Bank monetary policy decision announcements biases its international spillovers. Using data from 23 economies, both Emerging and Advanced, I show following an identification strategy disentangles pure shocks lead to spillovers on industrial production, exchange rates equity indexes which are between 2 3 times larger in magnitude than those arising standard high frequency strategy. bias is driven by having...
I analyze the sluggish response of exports during and after financial crises using firm level data for two countries-episodes: Argentina 2001 Peru 1998 crises. find that both incumbent exporting firms do not expand there’s no significant entry new firms. Furthermore, present evidence suggests export elasticity to real exchange rate is asymmetric, smaller depreciations than appreciations. build estimate a DSGE model small open economy where entrepreneurs are subject frictions balance sheet...
This paper presents evidence on the granular nature of firms' network foreign suppliers and studies its implications for impact supplier shocks domestic performance. To demonstrate this, I use customs level information transactions between Argentinean firms firms. highlight two novel stylized facts: (i) distribution number is highly skewed with median firm reporting linkages only two, (ii) focus imported value one top-supplier, even when controlling size. Motivated by these facts construct a...
This paper studies the role of households' heterogeneity in access to financial markets and consumption commodity goods transmission foreign shocks. First, I use survey data from Uruguay show that low income households have poor no savings technology while spending a significant share their on commodity-based goods. Second, construct Two-Agent New Keynesian (TANK) small open economy model with two main features: (i) limited markets, (ii) non-homothetic preferences over how these features...

This paper examines the relationship between changes in cost of imported inputs and export performance using a novel dataset from Argentina which identifies domestic firms' network foreign suppliers. To guide my empirical strategy, I construct heterogeneous firm model subject to quality choice frictions market for supplier. The predicts that impact an increase be increasing adjustments costs supplier linkages product exported. take data by constructing firm-specific shocks shift-share...
