This paper evaluates the impact of Resolution CREG 051 on the performance of the electricity markets in Colombia. We found out that productive efficiency has improved since the introduction of the Resolution, that is, the total costs of producing electricity have been reduced. This shows a...

Latin American countries are the only Western countries that are poor and that aren't gaining ground on the United States. This article evaluates why Latin America has not replicated Western economic success. We find that this failure is primarily due to total factor productivity (TFP)...

We show that, even under incomplete markets, the equilibrium manifold identifies individual demands everywhere in their domains. For this, we assume conditions of smoothness, interiority and regularity, and avoid observational requirements at the individual level. It is crucial that there be...

We offer a new proof that the equilibrium manifold (under complete markets) identifies individual demands globally. Moreover, under observation of only a subset of the equilibrium manifold, we find domains on which aggregate and individual demands are identifiable. Our argument avoids the...

"If these theories are correct, they imply that the macroeconomics developed in the wake of Keynesian Revolution is well confined to the ashbin of history".(2) Un hecho constante que ha sido notado y estudiado por más de un siglo por los economistas, es el de las fluctuaciones recurrentes de...

Si bien a lo largo del desarrollo de la teoría económica no ha existido un consenso general sobre los efectos de la inflación sobre la economía, a partir de la década de los setenta, los economistas han coincidido en que más que beneficios, la inflación en el largo plazo tiene costos para...

Durante las últimas décadas, el mecanismo de subastas ha ganado enorme popularidad como herramienta de asignación de recursos y preponderancia como agenda de investigación académica. En particular, considerando las diferentes alternativas de diseño de una subasta, se han estudiado sus...
