@JordiPaniagua Si tienes en cuenta la tasa de descuento , el valor de acceder a un salario más alto en etapas más tempranas de la carrera (formación hogar, compra vivienda), la diferencia es aún mayor.
I am very happy to share that our paper, “Ideological Alignment and Evidence-Based Policy Adoption,” is now published in the American Economic Review (#AER). This is a hugely ambitious project that has taken more than four years of work together with an amazing team of co-authors.
We conducted a nationwide #RCT involving over 5,000 real local politicians, as well as national think tanks, newspapers, and a leading global academic institution, to answer a simple but very important question: does the political “colour” of the messenger influence policy implementation?
One of the central challenges of the #evidence-based policy agenda is turning evidence into actual policy. From my experience in politics, this is far from straightforward: evidence has limited value if it does not translate into policies that improve people’s lives. Why is it so difficult to persuade policymakers to adopt policies with strong empirical backing? If the evidence is there, why are these policies so rarely implemented?
🔬 In our study, we address this by sending identical information about an evidence-based policy to local policymakers, introducing variation only in the #messenger of the policy: a non-ideological research institution versus think tanks and newspapers with clear ideological leanings. The policy itself is a recommendation - strongly supported by evidence- that improving a municipality’s Wikipedia page increases tourism.
We find that policy adoption increases by 65% when the information comes from a source perceived as ideologically aligned with the policymaker. In contrast, ideologically opposed institutions have no effect.
Publishing in what is arguably the world’s leading academic journal is a dream for any economist. For me - having stepped away from academia for politics - the joy is even greater.
🙏 I am deeply grateful to all my incredble co-authors for their generosity of offering me the opportunity to share this project with them, and for everything I have learned throughout this process. I also want to thank all the collaborators and RAs that have contributed, as well as across institutions, including https://t.co/jQdIMjTLbI, El Mundo, Alternativas, FAES, and FEMP, as well as the support from the Social Research Call of La Caixa and the Wikimedia Foundation.

Para juzgar el sufrimiento de un enfermo hay que ser médico o el propio enfermo, y yo no lo soy. Sin embargo, la muerte de Noelia reabre un debate sobre los condicionantes económicos, sociales o familiares que determinan la decisión de quitarse la vida. Eso sí nos interpela.
“En un contexto donde el valor de la vida humana se relativiza con frecuencia en función de criterios de utilidad social, intereses económicos, responsabilidades y cargas familiares o gasto público, la legalización de la muerte asistida añadiría una nueva dimensión de problemas..
La postura del PCP en contra de la eutanasia no se basa en consideraciones morales o religiosas. Se fundamenta en la convicción de que lo que debe prevalecer en las decisiones del legislador es el valor intrínseco de la vida..

Digamos que me genera sobradas dudas que se pueda afirmar, a la vez:
- que está es sus plenas condiciones mentales para decidir
- que sufre un dolor psicológico insoportable e incompatible con vivir.
Antes de facilitar la muerte, el Estado debería garantizar que ha hecho todo por sostener la vida.

¿Ha recibido ayuda emocional que necesita…o el Estado solo le facilita quitarse de en medio?
Noelia, nunca leeras esto, pero siempre hay salida. Tus padres seran torpes pero se han metido en el lio de ir a un juicio mediatico, para cuidarte y que no te suicides.
Tu caso ya es publico, tendras oportunidades y ayuda. Da un ejemplo de valentia y coraje a toda la sociedad.
