Across the world, COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected economically disadvantaged groups. This differential impact numerous possible explanations, each with significantly different policy implications. We examine, for first time in a low- or middle-income country, which mechanisms best explain disproportionate of virus on poor. Combining an epidemiological model rich data from Bogotá, Colombia, we show that total infections and inequalities are largely driven by ability to work...

Developing a database that includes 59 countries, our study sheds light on the role of mobile telecommunications markets' concentration countries' competitiveness.Performing several estimations and using an instrumental variable aims to explain degree in phone markets, we find higher is this industry, lower use information technology communication (ICT). On other hand, also ITC positively correlated competitiveness. Thus, results reveal positive spillover effects industry competitiveness...
