CEPR Reports and Issue Briefs from Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR)

Abstract: This paper shows that the Eastern lowland states of Bolivia that have recently held “autonomy” referenda also have the highest concentrations of land ownership, and receive disproportionate shares of natural gas revenues. These states also have a much smaller indigenous population than the rest of the country.
