Inter-American Development Bank Publications The publications program of the Inter-American Development Bank serves as a primary conduit for research, analysis, and policy guidance for Latin America and the Caribbean, producing reports, working papers, technical notes, and datasets that inform United Nations agencies, World Bank, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, International Monetary Fund, and regional stakeholders. Its outputs intersect with debates featured at bodies such as the Summit of the Americas, Pacific Alliance, Mercosur, Caribbean Community and are cited in forums like the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean and the G20. The publications support implementation of projects by partners including Inter-American Development Bank Group, Andean Development Corporation, Central American Bank for Economic Integration, CAF – Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean and national ministries across Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Mexico.
The program issues peer-reviewed and non-peer-reviewed outputs produced by staff economists, sector specialists, and external consultants linked to institutions such as University of Chicago, Harvard University, London School of Economics, Yale University, and Stanford University; its dissemination targets audiences at Organisation of American States, Pan American Health Organization, World Health Organization, United Nations Development Programme, and United Nations Environment Programme. Publications address topics relevant to multilateral projects in contexts like Amazon Basin, Andes, Caribbean Sea, Central America, and Southern Cone, informing policymakers in capitals such as Buenos Aires, Brasília, Santiago, Bogotá, and Lima while intersecting with initiatives by Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, Ford Foundation, and Inter-American Court of Human Rights.
The portfolio comprises working papers, policy briefs, technical notes, country diagnostics, project evaluations, impact evaluations, and statistical atlases—formats comparable to outputs from National Bureau of Economic Research, Brookings Institution, Center for Economic and Policy Research, Peterson Institute for International Economics, and Institute of Development Studies. Sector-specific items mirror publications from UNESCO, UNICEF, World Food Programme, International Labour Organization, and World Bank Group series on topics like education, health, infrastructure, climate resilience, and social protection in jurisdictions such as Honduras, El Salvador, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Dominican Republic.
Flagship series include regional economic reports, social policy overviews, infrastructure investment guides, and environmental assessments akin to the World Development Report, Global Monitoring Report, Human Development Report, and OECD Economic Outlook. Notable recurring outputs align thematically with programs under Sustainable Development Goals, Paris Agreement, Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, and Belt and Road Initiative discussions, and they are cited alongside work by International Energy Agency, Food and Agriculture Organization, UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, and Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery.
Publications are distributed through institutional repositories, digital libraries, and partnerships with platforms like JSTOR, SSRN, RePEc, DataCite, and national libraries in Peru, Costa Rica, Panama, Nicaragua, and Belize. The program’s open data stance parallels practices at European Union data portals, United States Census Bureau, UK Data Service, and World Bank Open Data to facilitate reuse by academics at University of São Paulo, Pontifical Catholic University of Chile, National Autonomous University of Mexico, University of the West Indies, and Universidad de los Andes (Colombia).
Editorial workflows incorporate external referees drawn from faculty at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Princeton University, Columbia University, University of Oxford, and University of Cambridge as well as subject-matter experts from International Finance Corporation, Asian Development Bank, African Development Bank, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and think tanks like Inter-American Dialogue. Methodological guidelines reference best practices established by Cochrane Collaboration for evidence synthesis, Campbell Collaboration standards, and statistical protocols used by International Statistical Institute and Committee on Publication Ethics.
Publications inform sovereign debt discussions in forums such as the Paris Club and London Club, project appraisals for multilateral lenders including Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, New Development Bank, and national development plans of Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, and Trinidad and Tobago. They are widely cited in academic journals like Journal of Development Economics, World Development, Economic Journal, Journal of Latin American Studies, and Latin American Research Review and used by policymakers at ministries in Peru, Chile, Argentina, and by legislators in bodies such as the Chamber of Deputies of Brazil and National Congress of Honduras.
Notable outputs include regional competitiveness analyses, urban transport case studies in São Paulo, Buenos Aires, Mexico City, Quito, and Bogotá; climate adaptation casebooks for Caribbean Small Island Developing States; social protection evaluations in Chile, Brazil, and Mexico; and rural development impact studies in Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Paraguay, and El Salvador. These case studies interface with legal frameworks like the Andean Community, trade arrangements such as NAFTA, USMCA, Mercosur, and public health responses alongside Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Pan American Health Organization interventions.
