]]>
This project aims to examine labor market disparities affecting vulnerable populations—women, youth, migrants, LGBT individuals, people with disabilities, and ethnic minorities—in the Metropolitan Area of Bucaramanga (AMB). By employing a quantitative approach, the research seeks to identify labor market gaps, understand the underlying determinants, and propose policy interventions to enhance inclusion. The study focuses on systemic factors such as economic, educational, business, and cultural elements that contribute to labor market exclusion.

Led by Álvaro Javier Vargas Villamizar from the Universidad Autónoma de Bucaramanga (UNAB), the research team includes experts working to generate actionable insights and policy recommendations. This project will provide a data-driven foundation for public policy aimed at promoting equitable labor market participation for all societal groups.

El Social Behavior and Experimental Economics Lab (Social BEE Lab) es un laboratorio de la Universidad Autónoma de Bucaramanga (UNAB), creado en colaboración con la Universidad de Nueva York en Abu Dabi (NYUAD).

Este laboratorio se dedica a realizar estudios sobre el comportamiento humano y su impacto en los procesos de toma de decisiones, utilizando protocolos y análisis de datos cuantitativos y cualitativos. Es el primer laboratorio de este tipo en la región y posiciona a la UNAB como un referente en investigación en ciencias económicas.

Las investigaciones y actividades del laboratorio fortalecerán las relaciones con universidades, organizaciones empresariales y sociales, así como con la comunidad en general. Esta iniciativa ha permitido obtener recursos económicos significativos para financiar las investigaciones y cubrir la participación de los estudiantes en los experimentos.

Aunque la audiencia inicial del laboratorio son los estudiantes de la UNAB, el Social BEE Lab tiene como objetivo abordar las necesidades de investigación en ciencias del comportamiento del nororiente de Colombia y fomentar la cooperación internacional.

This project aims to investigate gender differences in susceptibility to corruption through laboratory experiments conducted with students from two Colombian universities (i.e. UNAB and UFPS). The primary hypothesis is that women exhibit lower susceptibility to embezzlement owing to their risk aversion and pro-social values. The relative importance of these factors is not yet clear, though.

The research team, led by Dr. Giovanna Rodríguez-García from UNAB and Dr. Liliana Bastos Osorio from UFPS, with contributions from international expert Dr. Robert Gillanders from Dublin City University (DCU), will conduct experiments to analyze behavioral factors influencing gender-specific reactions to corruption. The project seeks to generate high-impact international publications and strengthen the research capabilities of Colombian universities to conduct social experiments in laboratories.
