Over the years, scientists in intelligent technologies have adopted several approaches for the automated representation of the real world. An essential part of these attempts is the classification algorithms that give researchers an efficient way of acquiring and ordering data. This is...

Evolving economies can be formally represented in various forms. One of the possibilities we explore is ESO systems, which are basically cellular automata with endogenous rules of change. Another possibility is to consider economic evolution as the result of the nested application of rules of...

We analyze the emergence of large-scale education systems in a framework where growth is associated with changes in the con guration of the economy. We model the incentives that the economic elite could have (collectively) to accept taxation destined to nance the education of credit-constrained...

We analyze the emergence of large-scale education systems by modeling the incentives that the economic elite could have (collectively) to accept taxation destined to finance the education of credit-constrained workers. Contrary to previous work, in our model this incentive does not arise from a...

Within the area of Behavioral game theory, we focus on a specific context, namely, on a game we called the Alternative traveler's dilemma. In this context, we observe that participants tend to choose strictly dominated strategies. In order to explain similar tendencies in other games,...

In some economic games, participants systematically display behavior that departs from the model of payoff maximization, and this is usually attributed to social preferences. In this paper we focus on a new interactive context, a mixed-motive game called “Alternative Traveler's Dilemma”...

We analyze the emergence of large-scale education systems in a framework where growth is associated with changes in the conguration of the economy. We model the incentives that the economic elite could have (collectively) to accept taxation destined to nance the education of credit-constrained...

The present paper analyzes a network formation problem, mainly based on the framework presented in Bala and Goyal (2000). We depart from their assumptions in two crucial aspects. On one hand, we assume that connecting to an agent pays of not only for the number of connections that the agent can...
