This study analyzes the ability of neuronal nets to predict the direction of the U.S. and Mexican economies, with the lagged indexes of the capital markets of each country as inputs and the compound leading economic indicator index (LEI, here treated as a coincident indicator) as output....

Until the appearance of the first wave of studies focusing on the hypothesis of the clarity of responsibility, the theory of economic voting implicitly assumed that the government is held responsible for the economic conditions of the country. Departing from previous studies based upon the...

The ability of some neural nets to predict the direction of the Mexican economy —represented by its LEI— when taking as inputs the simultaneous versions (smooth- ing and predictive) of a Gaussian Process fed with a Stock Index and a Bonds Index representing the Mexican market, is favorably...
