| Título: | Valuing water purification services of forests: a production function approach using panel data from China’s Sichuan province |

| Resumen: | The water purification functions of forests represent one of the most frequently invoked examples of nonmarket ecosystem services that are economically valuable. This study quantifies the monetary value of forests’ water purification services in the form of the ensuing cost savings of municipal drinking water treatment, using a rich panel dataset from China’s Sichuan province. Moreover, this study has undertaken a novel spatial piecewise approach to investigate the spatial patterns of such cost savings delivered by forests at different distances from the water intake point. The estimation results find that forests within a 2 km radius upstream from the water intake point have the most sizeable and statistically significant cost saving effect. For forests within a 3 km radius, this effect becomes somewhat smaller but remains statistically significant. Beyond a 4 km radius, this effect becomes notably smaller and statistically equal to zero. Our analysis facilitates the optimal spatial targeting of forest conservation. |

| Título: | Using choice modelling to identify popular and affordable alternative interventions for schistosomiasis in Uganda |

| Resumen: | Schistosomiasis is caused by a vector-borne parasite, commonly found in low-and middle-income countries. People become infected by direct contact with contaminated water through activities such as collecting water, bathing and fishing. Water becomes contaminated when human waste is not adequately contained. We administered a discrete choice experiment to understand community preferences for interventions that would reduce individuals’ risk of contracting, or transmitting, Schistosoma mansoni. These focused on water access, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) interventions. We compared interventions that target behaviours that mainly put oneself at higher risk versus behaviours that mainly put others at risk. We used two payment vehicles to quantify what individuals are willing to give up in time and/or labour for interventions to be implemented. Key findings indicate that new sources of potable water and fines on open defecation are the highest valued interventions. |

| Título: | Virtual water and the inequality in water content of consumption |

| Resumen: | We present evidence that international trade may exacerbate the initial unequal distribution of hydric resources. This result is driven by the fact that countries exporting agricultural goods are relatively abundant (with respect to capital) in the combined availability of water and arable land but, in absolute terms, scarce in capital and not richer in water in comparison to more developed ones. Due to both the scarcity of capital and the lower relative price of natural resources with respect to capital, the total value of production in these developing countries is modest, implying that international trade can lead to a less even distribution of the water content of consumption. Policies sustaining water prices and, more generally, those of natural resources (or lower capital costs) may contribute to offsetting this effect and allow for trade to play a positive role in reducing the uneven distribution of water endowments. |

| Título: | Pensar las infraestructuras en Latinoamérica |
| Ciudad y Editorial: | Buenos Aires : Teseo |

| Resumen: | Puentes, caminos, túneles, canales, puertos, represas, redes de agua o de cloacas, de gas y telefónicas, las infraestructuras transforman el territorio, movilizan fuerzas sociales y políticas y recursos materiales, encarnan ideas y valores, son producto y productoras de lo social. En el marco de los giros materiales y culturales que atravesaron a las ciencias sociales en los últimos años, su estudio ha adquirido un renovado interés. En lo que respecta a la historia de las infraestructuras en América Latina, existe tanto una literatura previa como nuevos abordajes, que se reúnen por primera vez en un volumen en español, donde se ponen en perspectiva casos locales de Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Panamá y Brasil, desde disciplinas y perspectivas diversas, como la historia, la sociología, el urbanismo, aplicadas a una variedad de infraestructuras, desde sistemas de transporte e hídricos hasta espacios urbanos. |

| Título: | A hedonic valuation of sanitation services in Guatemala |

| Resumen: | Many developing countries lack universal sanitation services for residents. Years of inappropriate disposal of solid waste and wastewater have increased the potential for devastating environmental and health issues. An economic valuation of sanitation services may help in planning investment projects by demonstrating the benefits that households derive from having access to improved sanitation. We examine Guatemala as a case study and employ a series of hedonic models to estimate the value that households in Guatemala assign to the sanitation services of solid waste collection and connections to sewer infrastructure. Findings indicate that residents are willing to pay higher rents for both wastewater and solid waste removal. Policy implications are discussed. |
