The study combines univariate and multivariate approaches, employing an Unobserved Components model with Stochastic Volatility and Outliers (UCSVO), ordinary least squares regressions, a static VAR, and a Time-Varying Parameter VAR (TVP-VAR) estimated within a Bayesian framework. In addition to services inflation, the analysis incorporates inflation expectations and labor market variables, such as unemployment and the real minimum wage. The results indicate that services inflation follows a dynamic distinct from headline inflation, characterized by a persistently high trend, low permanent volatility, and elevated transitory volatility. The univariate decomposition suggests that significant shocks are concentrated in episodes of domestic dis- ruption, while the multivariate analysis shows that the core transmission mechanisms, related to inertia, expectations, and labor market conditions, remain stable over time, although their intensity varies across macroeconomic regimes. In particular, the sensitivity of services inflation to labor market slack increases in periods of lower economic slack, highlighting the structural nature of inflation persistence in the services sector.

Panel data models are estimated for different types of violence against women, including femicide, using indicators of education, per capita GDP and variables associated with the pandemic context. The results show negative and statistically significant coefficients for education in most specifications, indicating that higher educational attainment is associated with lower rates of physical violence, psychological violence and overall violence against women. Income has ambiguous effects in static models but tends to display the expected sign in dynamic specifications, suggesting that more favorable socioeconomic contexts are associated with lower levels of violence, although these estimates are sensitive to specification limitations. In the case of femicide, low incidence and spatial concentration generate imprecise estimates, with no robust effects of the development variables. The variables directly linked to the pandemic are not statistically significant, and there is no systematic increase in recorded cases in 2020–2021, despite a marked decline in the most recent years. The findings reinforce the role of education and socioeconomic conditions in protecting women and highlight the limitations of inferring the true incidence of violence from administrative data subject to underreporting and the challenges of modeling rare events.
