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...

We develop a point of view that synthesizes the main strands of economic thought, Neoclassical, Keynesian and Marxist, as well as the conclusions of the modern theory of economic growth, discourses that can hardly be thought to belong to the same discipline. These strands can be viewed as a...

Although the literature about economic growth began to boom in the 1990s, this has not meant that a consensus has been reached about recommendations, much less in the view of the Mexican public. The aim of this article is to analyze different countries’ growth experiences, particularly in the...

Hasta hace tiempo se creía que los contratos de arrendamiento óptimos sujetos a restricción de liquidez ex-post serían sólo de renta fija porque para el terrateniente es óptimo ofrecerle al arrendatario todo el incentivo (la cosecha) para que haga esfuerzo alto y que lo lleve a alta...

In this document we analyze the infrastructure and human resources (hospitals, beds, ORs, doctors and nurses, among others), both in the public and the private sector, to determine the installed capacity in the country to meet the potential demand that will be faced in case of universal...

In this paper we formulate an infinitely repeated Principal-Agent relationship as a Multi-Objective Optimization problem. We numerically approximate the solution of this model using a Multi-Objective Optimization Evolutionary Algorithm, named RankMOEA, for different values of the Agent's...
