We estimate the impact of a large anti-poverty program – the Uruguayan PANES – on political support for the government that implemented it.

Charge transfers are humanprovoked transfers of electrical charge from one subnetwork to another, due to a shift in both subnetwork’s needs. This work studied the problem of how to dynamically adapt the model when a situation of charg...
