In this paper we use a Moore Automata with Binary Stochastic Output Function for exploring the extensive decision on tax evasion made by subjects in experiments run in Chile and Italy. We show first how an hypothesis about subject behavior is converted into an automaton and how do we compute the...

This paper gives a contribution to the debate on regional convergence by comparing the long run prediction of convergence clubs introduced by Quah (1996 and 1997) with the actual observed dynamics of the Italian regions during the period 1970–2004. To this end we analyze the evolution of per...

<title>Abstract</title> This paper computes the cost of traffic congestion in the city of Antofagasta in Chile. A microsimulation is implemented where all the agents of the system travel across the transport network. The congestion cost is computed through the aggregation of the opportunity cost of people...

En este trabajo se estudia el desempeño económico de las provincias argentinas durante el período 1961-2000. El desempeño económico se define a partir de los diferentes regímenes que determinan el crecimiento y el producto per cápita anual que tuvo cada provincia durante el período....

Este trabajo explica, desde un punto de vista empírico, parte del problema de convergencia de las provincias argentinas, complementando el método tradicional de beta y sigma convergencia (considerando distintas variables de análisis) con los métodos recientes de estudio de la dinámica de...

The aim of this note is to analyze some characteristics about the income mobility problem present in Argentina during the last decade of the last century. In order to reach this goal we propose the concept of archetypes to identify an average economic agent in pseudo-data panel. This...

In addition to the common analysis of the Kauffman NK model where the value of K and the structure of interaction are given, the aim of this paper is to study what the values of these two parameters would be if they were endogenized. Thus, a model is proposed where firms and business schools...

The aim of this paper is to describe the sources of growth for the regions of Chile during the period 1987-2009. Using the primal method proposed by Solow, the Total Factor Productivity (PTF) is computed with different capital and labor measures. When the information of a factor is not available...

In this work the economic performance of the Argentinean provinces during the period 1961-2000 is studied. The economic performance is defined from regimes defined by the growth rate and the production per capita of each province during the period. Clusters of performance and their evolution is...
