A lattice-Boltzmann (LB) formulation is developed for the simulation of Cattaneo’s diffusion equation. To do this, the collision term is computed from a 1-step back relaxation dynamics which, in turn, induces a hyperbolic-type diffusion effect. The Fickian LB formulation is recovered in the...

The analysis of household energy consumption patterns is critical for evaluating public mechanisms, such as subsidies and social tariffs that aim to provide lower income earners with better access to energy sources. This paper focuses on Mexican households to analyze the relations between their...

The 2008-09 economic crisis has had a long-lasting negative impact on the Mexican economy. This paper examines labor market dynamics in Mexico in light of the crisis. The labor market has been characterized in recent years by low relative unemployment, but high levels of informal jobs,...
