Abstract

En 2015, CEMLA y CAF invitaron a los investigadores de los bancos centrales a participar en una investigación conjunta que tuviera como base los datos de las encuestas de capacidades financieras de CAF y de otras encuestas nacionales de educación e inclusión financiera. La propuesta se presentó en la Reunión de la Red de Investigadores de 2015 en República Dominicana. A finales de diciembre de 2015 confirmaron su participación en las actividades de esta investigación conjunta los bancos centrales de Bolivia, Brasil, Colombia, Ecuador, México, República Dominicana, Perú, Uruguay y el CEMLA, dando lugar en total a trece documentos de investigación, los cuales conforman este libro. Desde distintos enfoques, los trabajos incluidos en la publicación analizan las decisiones financieras de los hogares, la participación en el sector financiero formal e informal y el rol de la educación en las decisiones financieras. Esperamos que este trabajo enriquezca la discusión y dé lugar a un mayor entendimiento de estos temas, claves para promover el desarrollo sostenible en América Latina y el Caribe.
