The book has a strong theoretical foundation with empirical illustrations from diverse Latin American countries. As a whole, it offers a comprehensive exploration of the foundations of the theory of National Innovation Systems. The authors explore the particular problems that many Latin American...

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

The aim of this paper is to characterize the set of singular economies, when there are a finite set of consumers with infinitely many goods in the sense that goods differ in the time which they are consumed or in the state of the world in which they become available. There exist l available...

The article shows data about the scientific production of articles on Mexican economy generated in the period 1992-1997. The participation of the academic economists (those who belong to the principal institutions of higher education in Mexico) in this production is presented. The average...

The object of this paper is to show some examples of economies in which singular equilibria occur as a consequence of utility functions and where this equilibria play a crucial rolle to understand the behavior of the economy as a system. An economy will be called singular if little changes in...

Routinely, practitioners and academics alike propose the use of trading strategies with an alleged improvement on the risk-return relation, typically entailing a considerably higher return for the given level of risk. A very popular example is "A quantitative approach to tactical asset...

The evolution of the daily informational efficiency is measured for different stock market indices (Japanese, Malaysian, Russian, Mexican, and the US markets) by using the local entropy and the symbolic time series analysis. There is some evidence that for different stock markets, the...
