Se presenta una guía para resolver y estudiar modelos de expectativas racionales dinámicas lineales (LDRE). Luego de codificar el modelo, se aplica una function simple para log-linealizarlo; simular los efectos de series exógenas de shocks; calcular condiciones de momentos muestrales…

This paper provides evidence on the incidence of poverty among the elderly in Latin America and the Caribbean, based on household survey microdata from 20 countries. The situation of older people is characterized in terms of income, employment, education, health…

En este trabajo presenta un caso en el que la supuesta equivalencia lógica entre las teorías de la preferencia por la liquidez y de los fondos prestables sobre la tasa de interés no se verifica: una economía monetaria de equilibrio…

In the midst of a serious macroeconomic crisis Argentina implemented a large social program -the Programa Jefes de Hogar (PJH)- that provides cash transfers to unemployed household heads meeting certain criteria. In practice, giving the difficulties in monitoring informal jobs,…

This paper derives unbalanced versions of the tests statistics for first order serial correlation and random individual e®ects summarized in Sosa Escudero and Bera (2001), and updates their xttest1 routine. The derived tests statistics should be useful for applied researchers…

Despite the importance of housing for people's well-being, there is little evidence on the causal impact of housing and housing improvement programs on health and welfare. In this paper, we help to fill this gap by investigating the impact of…

The Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Balance (HLB)was formally presented by William C. Griffin sixty years ago at a meeting in Chicago for the first time and later on in an article published in the first volume of the Journal of the Society of…

Globally optimal triangulations are difficult to be found by deterministic methods as, for most type of criteria, no polynomial algorithm is known. In this work, we consider the Minimum Weight Triangulation (MWT) problem of a given set of n points…

Metric-temporal databases are a new database model that combines metric spaces with temporal databases to process similarity queries within a time interval or snapshot. The Historical FHQT is a metric-temporal index which has shown to be competitive answering this type…

Component Based Software Development (CBSD) relies upon utilization of previously developed software components OTS (Off-The-Shelf), which are appropriately merged to satisfy particular system requirements. However, wide acceptance of this paradigm at industry requires efficient component identification and selection, aspects which…
