Our Publications, Reports, and Short Articles

Open, citable research that turns evidence into policy action.

At Studio 1848., our publications are designed to help decision-makers act with clarity and stay informed. Each report, insight note, and flagship brief distills complex evidence into practical intelligence by connecting data to the dilemmas governments, institutions, and citizens across Latin America and the world face today. We focus on what’s changing, why it matters, and what options are realistically on the table.

More than research for its own sake, our work aims to shift how problems are framed and how policies are built. Whether testing a fiscal reform against long-term debt risk or mapping the unintended costs of foreign influence, our goal is the same: to equip our readers with the tools to choose wisely, before circumstances choose for them.
