Electricity prices have seen a consistent upward trend since the implementation of Mexico's electricity market reform (EMR). This has been interpreted by some as a failure of the EMR. In this paper we study the determinants of such price increases. We calculate the generation cost curve of the...

This paper aims to model the dynamics of social deprivation in Mexico using a Markovian approach. First, we establish a scenario where a list of items characterizing social deprivation evolves as a first-order Markov chain under the sample period (2002-2012). Then, we estimate latent states and...

This paper is aimed at analyzing the main problems concerning fat-tailed asset return distributions. In doing so, a sample of Colombian stock returns over a period of time ranging from 2001 to 2010 is considered. The main conclusion drawn from this case study is that any model facing...

This paper aims at showing how the use of the dynamical systems theory (dst) has affected the thematic content of economic analysis, either by fostering new theoretical developments or by making translation from economics to mathematics more complete. To this end, we elaborate a classification...

This paper deals with an intertemporal model of optimization, which is based on multiple attribute utility functions (MUAT). The model assumes that consumers do not know a priori the optimal mixture of attributes which would maximize their utility from consumption. By using a MUAT lineal model,...

This paper is aimed at assessing the impact of deregulation initiatives on the recent performance of Mexico’s airline industry. By doing so, three econometric models are estimated with the view of differentiating the weights of deregulation variables from the ones of non-deregulation...
