We develop a theory to explain the transition from stagnation to modern growth. We focus on the forces that shaped the evolution of total factor productivity in agriculture and manufacturing across history. More specifically, we build a multisector model of…

This paper uses dynamic general equilibrium and computational methods, inspired by the multi-sector growth model structure in Stephen Turnovsky’s previous and more recent work, to develop a theory that unifies two of the traditional explanations of structural change: sector-biased technical…

This paper uses dynamic general equilibrium and computational methods, inspired by the multi-sector growth model structure in Stephen Turnovsky's work, to develop a theory that unifies two of the traditional explanations of structural change: sector-biased technical change and non-homothetic preferences.…

This paper presents the automatic extension to other languages of TERSEO, a knowledge-based system for the recognition and normalization of temporal expressions originally developed for Spanish. TERSEO was first extended to English through the automatic translation of the temporal expressions.…

En muchas bases de conocimiento para el PLN prevalece actualmente un enfoque lexicista. En cambio, FunGramKB utiliza la ontología como módulo pivote entre los niveles léxicos y cognitivos, convirtiéndose así en el componente más importante. El propósito de este artículo…

The development of the novel form is an exploration of the possibilities for realistic
representation which is increasingly informed by an understanding that distortion and
fabrication are inevitable consequences of the mediating process of narrative. The search
for alternatives to…

Las listas de palabras con sus frecuencias se usan ampliamente en muchos procedimientos de agrupamiento y categorización de textos. Usualmente para la compilación de tales listas se usan las aproximaciones basadas en morfología (como el stemmer de Porter) para unir…

The purpose of the study was to investigate whether teachers’ knowledge of student assessment was influenced by their gender and if it was related to their teaching experience (years in education). One hundred and twenty six physical education teachers (n=126)…

The methodology “b-learning” is a new teaching scenario and it requires the creation, adaptation and application of new learning tools searching the assimilation of new collaborative competences. In this context, it is well known the knowledge spirals, the situational leadership…

El presente trabajo muestra la evaluación cuantitativa y cualitativa de un grupo de analizadores de constituyentes y de dependencias con el objetivo de ser usados en el desarrollo de una métrica automática basada en conocimiento para evaluar la salida de…
