Title: COVID-19 and internal migration patterns in Peru

Brief description:

This paper contributes to the literature on the effects of COVID-19 on internal migration in Peru. It addresses two key questions: (1) How have internal migration patterns evolved during the COVID-19 pandemic? (2) How did the intensity of lockdown policies influence internal migration rates? To answer these questions, I estimated internal migration rates using annual microdata from the National Household Survey (ENAHO) from 2014 to 2023. I also developed a database of localized lockdowns based on government-issued Supreme Decrees between March 2020 and October 2022. The findings reveal that the pandemic significantly reshaped internal migration patterns in Peru, with a notable increase in out-migration from middle-sized cities, leading to lasting demographic changes. While large cities showed resilience with stable in-migration rates, middle-sized cities experienced substantial population losses, highlighting their vulnerability to disruptions triggered by the pandemic.

“Anankastic conditionals and the reason-based analysis of deontic modals”

I identify and develop a solution to the puzzle of anankastic conditionals that is novel in the sense that it has gone largely unnoticed, but also well-worn in that the materials for it have long been available. The solution involves an integration of the classical Kratzerian premise semantics and a default theory of reasons (such as the one presented in Horty, 2012, leveraging several decades of research on default logic). To stress-test the proposal I also investigate how it might be applied to the variety of anankastic-adjacent data discussed by Condoravdi and Lauer (2016). The resulting approach is not just an exceptional fit for the problem of anankastic conditionals, but also an independently promising upgrade on the classical account of modals.
