In this paper from the Negishi approach we analyze the concepts of structurally stable and structurally unstable economies on Banach's spaces. With this object we formalize the intuitive concept of similar economies. We show that in certain cases similar (or neighboring) economies can show no...

In this paper a new approach to the analysis of the dynamics of economies is presented; applications to time series will also be suggested. In such applications, computational experiments may play a central role to provide a different heuristics and to explore data information. The approach is...

In this paper we study the dynamics of economic growth for 140 countries during the period 1951-2003. The variables representing economic performance are levels and growth rates of per capita GDP. Using the concept of economic regime, we introduce a notion of distance between the dynamical paths...

This paper explores a recent method for measuring the tourism contribution to an economy's performance and compares it with others methodologies. The method uses the rate of growth of real per capita GDP and disaggregates it into a growth component that can be imputed to tourism and growth...

In this paper we introduce the formalism and terminology of multiregime dynamics for both theoretical modeling and data analysis. Coding is proposed as the appropriate tool for the analysis of such special type of dynamics, focussing upon switches between suitably defined dynamical regimes....

Sustainable systems are those that can maintain a desirable regime in the presence of disturbance. Dynamic regime theory has been applied to systems in a growing number of disciplines to understand and predict system behavior, as well as manage system sustainability. A multidisciplinary analysis...

In this paper we analyze the rationality that sustains the public investments on white elephants applied to the construction of tourist facilities in Mexico. The main result of this paper is that there exist two kinds of rationalities in the construction of white elephants. One is a similar...

In this paper we model tourism in the framework of multi-population dynamics and analyze the time pattern of its development through the evolving interaction between two populations feeding on a common space-resource. Each population might be structured in two (or more) "clubs" of members...

International tourism, on which we focus in this paper, is recognized to contribute to long-run growth through a whole list of diverse channels. This belief that tourism can promote, if not, plainly, cause long-run growth is known in the literature as the Tourism-Led Growth Hypothesis (TLGH)....

This paper argues that the Brazilian economy went recently through a process of accelerated growth driven by exports and fixed capital formation. Although the pace of growth was more robust than in the 1990 decade, we can still see the presence of macroeconomic constraints to its continuation in...
