Evidence points to identity preservation and #collective action capacity as key mechanisms. Therefore, connectivity isn’t always a public good—when it threatens local identities, communities can and do push back.#EcoHistory #Indigenous

Using a novel #historical #transport map and a difference-in-differences design that leverages pre-#colonial political centralization as a proxy for #Indigenous mobilization, we find municipalities with stronger Indigenous institutions received less transport infrastructure.

We study Mexico’s post-Revolution nation-building (1920s–1950s) that expanded #roads/#railways to #unify the country.

We also heard from our econ students who presented an agent-based model linking social mobility, geography, and rising housing costs. Their findings show how spatial inequality drives housing inaccessibility.

Thanks to officer Oscar Hermman Vera, Silvia Circe Díaz Duarte & #Sedatu for empowering our students to drive change! #HumanRights #Housing #Research #Interdisciplinary #Education #SomoscSociales #TecdeMonterrey

Together in this initial phase with @Marco Mendez, and the support of our Directors, we aim to include all our students from the campuses in Mexico City to boosting research opportunities at the undergraduate level.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Dr. Castañeda and his coauthor for this significant contribution, and to everyone who made this presentation possible on campus! #Complexity #ODS #TecdeMonterrey #Cide
