Abstract

The study analyses unfinished migration in Bolivia, understood as the phenomenon by which some families maintain double residence between the countryside and the city. From the analysis of household electricity consumption (as a proxy variable of their socioeconomic level), different livelihood strategies are evaluated, as well as their implications for poverty. The use of big data (more than 100 million observations) and the analytical methodology are certainly novel and propose alternative possibilities for research in applied economics.
