Desde la propuesta de Schumpeter (1911)(1)de que los servicios prestados por el sistema financiero son importantes para la promoción de la innovación tecnológica y el crecimiento económico(2). ha existido un relativo consenso entre los economistas en el sentido de que el desarrollo del...

The theory of general equilibrium was criticized for its apparent lack of testable implications,as seemingly implied by the results of Sonnenschein, Mantel and Debreu in the Seventies. This view was challenged by the results of Brown and Matzkin (1996) which showed the existence of testable...

This paper studies the falsiability of the hypothesis of Nash behavoir, for the case of a finite number of players who choose from continuous domains, subject to constraints. The results obtained here are negative. Assuming the observation of finite data sets, and using weak, but non-trivial,...

In this paper I consider the following problem: There is a collection of, exogenously given, socially feasible sets, and for each one of them, each one of a group of individuals chooses from an individually feasible set. The fact that the product of the individually feasible sets is larger than...

Desde el punto de vista de las finanzas públicas, el dinero está sujeto a impuestos. Sin embargo, mientras el gravamen a otros bienes se recolecta a través de una entidad específica, la recolección del impuesto al dinero se realiza cuando se emiten saldos monetarios y/o aumenta el nivel de...

This paper studies the falsifiability of the hypothesis of Nash behavior, for the case of a finite number of players who choose from continuous domains, subject to constraints. The results obtained here are negative. Assuming the observation of finite data sets, and using weak, but nontrivial,...

We study the application of bootstrap procedures to the problem of constructing confidence intervals for the coefficients of random effects panel data models, based on GLS point estimation. The central problem is the one of adequately resampling from the estimated residuals of the model,...
