Using a spatial regression discontinuity design, we exploit the within-state variation in language groups in Switzerland to provide evidence about cultural differences in LTC use. We show that elderly people residing in regions speaking a Latin language (French, Italian...

Indigenous spiritualities are a fact in contemporary Andean Christianity, so it is their attempt to hold gospel and culture together.

Using a historical...
