The purpose of this work is to mathematically formalize the Economic Social Communitarian Productive Model implemented in Bolivia since 2006. For this purpose, a mathematic model is developed based on a super-predator model, in which the solutions are obtained through Lokta-Volterra type equations. The model shows that with economic surpluses’ transfers from the strategic sector toward the income and employment generating sector, it is possible to achieve sustained economic growth.

This document evaluates the impact of the conditional cash transfer programs (CCT), Juancito Pinto, Juana Azurduy and the Dignity Rent, on poverty reduction in Bolivia. The study is based on information from the 2013 Household Survey and the application of impact evaluation techniques. Results suggest that the implementation of these programs reduced the incidence of moderate poverty in Bolivia in 8.2pp and extreme poverty in 9.6pp, for the group which received these transfers.

During recent years, the Bolivian economy has exhibited a great performance, which in the structure of the current economic model, it is underpinned by domestic demand and the active participation of the State in the economy. This research presents empirical evidence that corroborate these assertions. Moreover, it disaggregates the specific impacts of private domestic demand, public domestic demand and external demand on growth. The document also displays evidence on the relationship of complementarity between public domestic demand and private domestic demand (crowding-in).
