Widespread Economic Doubts, Julio J. Prado
Widespread Economic Doubts, Julio J. Prado
Julio J Prado
Many people think –perhaps with just reason- that the economy is a boring theoretical science, and that it does not have its feet upon the ground. In order to try to change that perception, we are going to propound for ourselves some day to day questions, to which we can provide an answer (to the extent possible) with a bit of economic “logic”.

La Inversión En Argentina: ¿Presente Incierto, Futuro Promisorio?, Martin Enrique Krause, Aldo Abram, Felipe De La Balze, Javier González Fraga, Carlos Rodriguez Braun

Argentina sufrió la peor crisis de su historia en los años 2001-2002. A partir de entonces ha experimentado una fuerte recuperación, en la que incluso se ha superado el máximo nivel de PBI anterior a la caída, generando un ciclo de cinco años de crecimiento como nunca antes durante todo el siglo XX, con superávit fiscal y, hasta el momento, evitando la volatilidad de la que ha sido aquejada en forma constante. Una economía profundamente deprimida tenía un largo camino por recorrer para acercarse a su frontera de posibilidades de producción, punto que parece haber alcanzado en la mayoría de …
The Apostle Table - Part Iii - Incompetent Endogenous Response Intransitivity, David Randall Jenkins
The Apostle Table - Part Iii - Incompetent Endogenous Response Intransitivity, David Randall Jenkins
David Randall Jenkins
The Apostle Table illustrates a New Testament encryption scheme revealed in the Book of Matthew. Specifically, the list of the twelve apostles in Matthew, 10:1-4, points to the Matthew, Chapters 8 and 9, disciple characterizations. The disciples metaphorically characterize the social choice theory aspect of the scripture writers' (ordered relations theory: social choice theory: welfare model) regression. The paper is written in two parts: I. The Exogenous Pressures; and, II. The Endogenous Response. Interestingly, the paper explains why the crucified Jesus could not get off the cross.

Masking Redistribution (Or Its Absence), Jonathan Baron, Edward J. Mccaffery
Masking Redistribution (Or Its Absence), Jonathan Baron, Edward J. Mccaffery
Edward J McCaffery
Research has shown that people vary widely in their support or opposition to progressive taxation. We argue here that the perception of progressiveness itself is affected by the nature of the tax system and by the way it is framed, or presented. Experiments conducted over the World-Wide Web and using within-subject design demonstrate that subjects suffer from a range of heuristics and biases in understanding and supporting progressive or redistributive taxation. After reviewing some prior results, we report three new studies. Two of them indicate that people do not sufficiently appreciate the reduction of progressiveness that results from the use …

Social State Definition And The Economic Control Systems Product, David Randall Jenkins
Social State Definition And The Economic Control Systems Product, David Randall Jenkins
David Randall Jenkins
Professor Arrow formulated his social state definition in terms of each individual's consumption versus factors of production. Ancient philosophers understood impossibility-resolved social choice theory derived welfare models involve reflexive economic form hierarchical structures where the individual is implicit. The scripture writers also concluded theory construction and empirical research are not reflexive such that empirical research undertaken in the absence of an essential theoretical nexus is illusionary. Therefore, empirical aggregation surrogates are unable to competently effect Arrovian impossibility end-runs. The scripture writers' reference ethics based aggregation mechanics articulate impossibility-resolved (social welfare function formulation: social state definition) transitivity.
La Economía Navarra: Productividad Y Competitividad Del Sector Exterior, Javier Agudo
La Economía Navarra: Productividad Y Competitividad Del Sector Exterior, Javier Agudo
Javier Agudo
La economía Navarra es una economía fundamentalmente industrial. Debido a esta característica, Navarra podría sufrir de una manera muy dura los efectos de una deslocalización industrial, más por ejemplo que una región cuya principal fuente de ingresos sea el turismo. Por estas razones, Navarra debe estar especialmente preocupada por la pérdida de productividad de la economía española y, sobre todo, debe plantearse muy seriamente qué medidas tomar para solucionarlo.
