Two prices, one exit: administrative visibility and the distributional incidence of subsidy reform in Bolivia

About this work

Accepted for presentation at the LSE International Inequalities Institute and UNU-WIDER workshop on 6 November 2026. Using BOLMOD, the Bolivian module of SOUTHMOD, this paper studies how Bolivia’s fuel subsidy reform and exchange rate unification affect households. It compares the enacted compensation package with alternatives deliverable through existing registries, showing why administrative visibility matters for who receives relief.
