Solution Papers
Selection of the Solution Paper Authors
The project involves hiring quality researchers that can write papers on the 10 challenges that have been identified as the key issues facing Latin America and the Caribbean.
Preparation of the Solutions Papers
The solution papers will identify potential interventions and resolutions to resolve the challenges, and conduct careful cost benefit analysis of these interventions. The solutions paper will consist of three parts: the challenge, opportunities and economic estimates. The solution paper will briefly outline the challenge followed by a presentation of up to five feasible opportunities to meet the challenge. A part of each solutions paper will also be dedicated to a review of the existing literature on the economic cost and benefits of interventions, linking these to the opportunities and indicating the models’ strengths and weaknesses.
