By estimating an implicit point system we try to infer some of the principles used by a medical team allocating cadaveric kidneys in Mexico. Our results indicate that the principles of fairness and medical efficiency play an important role in the final allocation.

In this document we present the first results of a survey, as part of an empirical study conducted with the objetive of analyzing the relationship between individuals´ levels of confidence on institutions and people with whom they interact, the composition of their social networks and how they...

Network formation is frequently modeled using link-formation games and typically present a multiplicity of Nash equilibria. Cooperative refinements —such as strong or coalitional proof Nash equilibria— have been the standard tool used for equilibrium selection in these games. Non-cooperative...

Through an estimation of an implicit point system, we try to infer some of the principles used by a medical team in the allocation of kidneys for transplantation in Mexico. Results indicate that criteria linked to principles of medical efficiency and of position in the waiting list fundamentally...

type="main" xml:id="ecin12106-abs-0001" In this article, we use an experiment to evaluate the performance of alternative refinements in a Myersonian link formation game with a supermodular payoff function. Our results show that a non-cooperative refinement, the global games (GG) approach,...

This paper studies fiscal correspondence and fiscal trust. Through an experimental design carried out in Oaxaca, Mexico it explores which authority, the religious or the civil one, is better at collecting contributions to finance common goods. Results suggest that fiscal correspondence is the...

In 2010, the Federal Telecommunications Commission completed auctions 20 (30 MHz in the band of 1.9GHz) and 21 (90 MHz in the band of 1.7-2. 1 GHz) with the goal of positively impacting the coverage, quality, competition and investment in the sector. These processes were implemented...

The general purpose of the present document is to analyze the role of several social networks into financial development. In concrete, we have the hypothesis that in locations where closed social networks with family and friends prevail, financial transactions of saving and credit are not only...

In this paper we analyze the relationship between financial decisions, information acquisition, and trust. In particular, our hypothesis is that financial transactions depend, among other variables, on the level of trust, reciprocity and association among individuals. Also, individuals’...
