El trabajo propone una metodología para la medición de la diversidad tecnológica, se considera la entropía como un indicador usando a las patentes y además se conceptualiza la evolución de la diversidad desde una propuesta de los sistemas complejos. Se toma como ejemplo el sector tecnológico de las baterías dada su relevancia actual en la economía.
This paper proposes a methodology to measure technological diversity. It is through Entropy (information theory Shannon) and patents as the indicator is constructed. The interpretation is based on the theory of complex systems and concepts of exploration and exploitation. The battery technology sector is the case study for its current importance in the economy.
In this document, the economics of information theory is used to explain the impact of dollar auctions in the parity between the Mexican peso and the US dollar to the period of January 2014 and March 2016. For this is considered the George Stigler model which explains how the prices are determined in markets with asymmetric information. The results suggest that the strategy of dollar auctions was one of several other factors affecting the price dispersion dollar during the study period.
The present paper considers the decision problem of the bar “El Farol”, posed by the economist Brian Arthur. From which the computational algorithm that simulates the decision problem with a large number of rational agents was developed, best known as the game of minorities. The game of minorities turns out to be a problem of game theory that exhibits the time competition that exists between adaptive rational agents. The complexity that characterizes the problem arises from the fact that people do not interact directly with each other, but through a common closed environment created by themselves. In addition to reproducing the most cited results of the same, we simulate a set of “mixed games” in order to contrast different memories to determine in which of them the agents involved in the game get better performance or better gains over time. So we study their statistical properties, more specifically, the statistical distribution that players’ earnings exhibit over time.
This document proposes the review of the relationship income-expenditure for the Mexican economy under the behavior they have had in the last 35 years can be described in four moments. The objective is to provide evidence of how the study period in the relationship of income and expenditures in the country has changed because of different events such as the restrictions on the expansion of spending, the achievement of fiscal discipline, high oil prices that have resulted in additional revenue, among other elements.
This article analyzes the factors that determine the evolution and the behavior of food prices between 1990 to 2016. It emphasizes the global economy conditions which affect markets and its impact in the globalization process. Likewise, it reviews the particular situation on the economies that had decisive influence on this process like China, India, Brasil, South Africa and Russia. It concludes that the global economic slowdown has a positive impact on the decline of food prices and agricultural goods due to a growth rate decrease related to the supply on this goods.
