The main issue of this article is to discuss the question of ‘precarity’ in the context of the theory of social quality (see Beck et al, 2001), with which to pave the way for developing further the theoretical foundation of precarity. Societal practice is the main challenge this concept...

Este trabajo desarrolla un modelo en donde se endogenizan las actividades delictivas para estudiar los efectos de la desigualdad de oportunidadesy la movilidad social sobre la incidencia de dichas actividades. En particular, se plantea un modelo de equilibrio general derivado de la...

The high concentration of gases due to global heating, specifically CO2, have been signaled as the main cause of climatic change. The adoption of agricultural practices that are able to increase the content of carbon on the soil has been proposed as a low-cost strategy and immediately available...

This work develops a model of endogenous criminal activities to study the effects of inequality of opportunities and social mobility on the crime level. In particular, a general equilibrium model derived from the economic theory of conflict is proposed, in which a group of heterogeneous agents...

This paper develops a tractable dynamic microeconomic model of migration decisions that is aggregated to describe the behavior of interregional migration. Our structural approach allows us to deal with dynamic self-selection problems that arise from the endogeneity of location choice and the...

Baldwin et al. (2003) show that the famous tomahawk bifurcation, which is used by Fujita et al. (1999) to explain the formation of the core-periphery pattern, disappears when two regions have uneven agricultural populations. Thus, this type of bifurcations result from intrinsic model symmetry....

Social demand functions result from the budget constrained maximization of "social preferences" or "other regarding preferences." These preferences are non-selfish in the sense that they also depend on other consumers' wealth. This paper addresses the robustness to wealth externalities of the...
