Acknowledgments
Economic and Social Progress in Latin America is the flagship publication of the Inter-American Development Bank. This issue was a joint production of the Bank’s Research Department and the former Sustainable Development Department coordinated by Alberto Chong, Suzanne Duryea, Jacqueline Mazza, and Hugo Ñopo, as well as Gustavo Márquez, who was the overall leader of the project. The team benefited from the useful and insightful comments and supervision of Eduardo Lora, who was Chief Economist a.i. during the preparation of the report. Rita Funaro, Michael Harrup, and John Dunn Smith edited the report in its entirety. Carlos Andrés Gómez-Peña, research and technical assistant, was in charge of coordinating the report’s production process. Overall research assistance was provided by Ana Carolina Izaguirre Corzo.
