Apuntes Comparativos Sobre La Teoría Del Incumplimiento Eficiente: Incumplir, O No Incumplir, He Allí El Dilema, Renzo E. Saavedra Velazco

Renzo E. Saavedra Velazco

La teoría del incumplimiento eficiente presenta una serie de obstáculos para su aceptación tanto dentro los sistemas del common law como en los del civil law. La decisión de incumplir una obligación tiene múltiples consecuencias, no todas previsibles, y provoca una alteración del status quo de gran trascendencia. Tales consecuencias deben analizarse a fin de establecer si la decisión tomada será beneficiosa para quien la toma y creará excedentes para la sociedad.

Fama, La Hipótesis De Los Mercados Eficientes Y Behavioral Finance: ¿Un Vistazo A Una Relación?, Renzo E. Saavedra Velazco

Renzo E. Saavedra Velazco

En la teoría financiera el nombre de Eugene Fama es casi el sinónimo de mercados eficientes. En virtud a esta teoría se propugna que el precio de las acciones incorpora la mejor y más completa información que se tiene disponible acerca de la empresa y el mercado en general. Por esta razón los inversionistas no pueden ganarle al mercado de manera sistemática. Sin embargo, algunos académicos intentan no sólo cuestionar la premisa de esta teoría sino sus conclusiones a través del empleo de hallazgos de las ciencias conductuales.

I do now hereby give, bequeath, and devise all items of tangible personal property that I own or may own a right thereonto, which includes, but is not limited to, objet d'art, furnishings, automobiles, and silver, to my surviving issue per stirpes.

“The World Must Know What Happened, And Never Forget,” Dwight David Eisenhower, Control Of Masturbation, Missiles, Weapons, And The Holocaust-How Control Of Difference In One Region Can Affect The Whole World, James T. Struck

James T Struck

The world must know what happened here and never forget was Eisenhower's gift to us on seeing the Nazi death camps. Such a policy of telling the world about something can be wonderful to let us understand the world better and horrible in bringing more parties into an action without need. Still, National Socialists stated that they imitated US disability and prison experimentation in Illinois. Telling the whole world about the Holocaust includes telling the whole world about US disability discrimination. Control of masturbation led to sterilization policies throughout the US and expanded into control of difference within National Socialist …
