Accepted for publication in the WBER: Escudero, V. “Workfare programs and their delivery system: Effectiveness of Construyendo Perú”. This solo-authored paper has been accepted for publication in the World Bank Economic Review. Using a fuzzy regression discontinuity design and three comprehensive databases, it evaluates the medium- to long-term effects of the workfare program Construyendo Perú, highlighting heterogeneous employment outcomes and the central role of program design in shaping job quality. New methodological briefs — measuring skills, job quality, and the green transition with big data Measuring the Greenness of Jobs in Emerging Economies: A Big Data Text Analysis Approach This research brief introduces a scalable method combining big data and NLP to identify green tasks and measure the greenness of jobs across countries, with a focus on skills requirements, wages, and working conditions. Measuring Quality of Employment in Emerging Economies: A Methodology for Assessing Job Amenities Using Big Data This methodological brief develops a novel framework to measure non-wage job amenities using online vacancy data, enabling new analyses of job quality and decent work beyond wages in job vacancy data. Podcast — big data and the future of work I participated in the ILO podcast “Big data: What it is, what it does, and how it impacts work”, discussing how big data can be leveraged to analyse labor markets, skills demand, and policy challenges. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dd022239795d6755ada9fd6/f26fcf3b-e866-459b-b3e5-6cbe212c040d/Escudero+Veronica+04_small-small.jpg Home - About me Find out about my professional background and the focus and aim of my research program. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dd022239795d6755ada9fd6/1577742221530-185W885MNOJ3RV122932/tumblr_mn8b8sLRb61rkz363o1_1280.jpg Home - research & policy projects Take a look at my research work and find out about the evidence-based policy projects I’ve managed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dd022239795d6755ada9fd6/1617251537181-U9NGBJ8LM53K9O6Z40ZR/unsplash-image-heNLI144X7Y.jpg Home - columns & blogs A list of research-based policy analysis and commentary that I’ve published in various outlets. https://www.escuderoveronica.com/professional-background daily 0.75 2026-04-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390928870858-4D9B6T9WGP8017NSS9W3/topography.jpg Professional background https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dd022239795d6755ada9fd6/1587464070367-S4YY09ACKM5G36CRIZMI/Escudero+Veronica+04.jpg Professional background https://www.escuderoveronica.com/research-publications daily 0.75 2026-01-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390597386640-3KVLE657DTIG7GJ4AQE2/tumblr_mjdttrQLOJ1rkz363o7_1280.jpg Research & Publications https://www.escuderoveronica.com/contact daily 0.75 2024-05-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dd022239795d6755ada9fd6/1574002655514-CIXW0WQBMVKL47LJ7PEC/IMG_5998.jpg Contact https://www.escuderoveronica.com/policy-projects daily 0.75 2024-09-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dd022239795d6755ada9fd6/1574536093166-XM66A5GYW3S071BX20MI/DSC_0169.JPG Policy projects https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dd022239795d6755ada9fd6/1725617964177-60RFRX7798JQJZM16KFR/unsplash-image-n6B49lTx7NM.jpg Policy projects - Make it stand out This methodological brief (forthcoming) provides a detailed description of an innovative approach that utilizes big data from online job boards and applies NLP techniques to extract information on skills. The focus is on a detailed description of the methodological framework, including data processing, and analysis steps, to facilitate replication and adaptation in research on skills trends in low- and middle-income economies. This brief aims to serve as a practical guide for researchers and practitioners seeking to apply these techniques in their own studies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dd022239795d6755ada9fd6/acee5a3d-c07d-4e52-a695-74a054ccc216/httpswww.ilo.orgmedia584081download.jpg Policy projects - Make it stand out This Research Brief uses innovative approach presented before to demonstrate how this method can address key policy questions related to skills dynamics in low- and middle-income economies. By uncovering notable patterns in foundational and socio-emotional skills, the brief illustrates how policymakers and researchers can leverage these insights to develop targeted strategies for employment and skills development, fostering economic growth and sustainable development. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dd022239795d6755ada9fd6/1574620932613-TUJWAJT5MZSAGS25GI9A/DSC_0086.jpg Policy projects Launch of the Synthesis Report, ECA Conference Centre, Addis Ababa (Ethiopia)—17 October 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dd022239795d6755ada9fd6/1574620159476-ZS5H0S9NRPQOXWUGS84D/IMG_3959.jpg Policy projects Visiting one of the implementation projects of Trabaja Peru in San Juan de Lurigancho, Lima (Peru) —25 August 2015 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dd022239795d6755ada9fd6/1574623235113-MOVWGMHQUKPP83YR2FAQ/Screenshot%2B2019-11-24%2B20.14.45.jpg Policy projects Interactive compendium of ALMPs—ILO https://www.escuderoveronica.com/education daily 0.75 2026-04-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dd022239795d6755ada9fd6/1574014314312-HI202NFFMZIRP8XQW183/image-asset.jpeg Education https://www.escuderoveronica.com/work-experience daily 0.75 2026-04-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dd022239795d6755ada9fd6/1574092723082-U2YVLEVDLAHO5O34MKP9/ilo-e54729-highres.jpg Work experience https://www.escuderoveronica.com/research-publications-copy daily 0.75 2026-01-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52a74d9ae4b0253945d2aee9/1390597386640-3KVLE657DTIG7GJ4AQE2/tumblr_mjdttrQLOJ1rkz363o7_1280.jpg Research & Publications (Copy)
