Aprendizagem, racionalidade limitada e comportamento econômico

O objetivo desta pesquisa é discutir a idéia de aprendizagem em Economia. A idéia básica a ser considerada é que a hipótese das expectativas Racionais não é consistente com tal idéia e que a fim de incluí-la em nossa disciplina será necessário substituí-la por uma espécie do raciocínio indutivo. Será considerado também como tal raciocínio e pode ser aplicado com alguns modelos técnico e de política econômico.

Aprendizagem, racionalidade limitada e comportamento econômico

O objetivo desta pesquisa é o de discutir o processo de aprendizagem na teoria econômica, especialmente na macroeconomia; assim como as conseqüências, para a política econômica, de considerar-se tal processo um importante elemento nas decisões econômicas.

Modelos ortodoxos de inflação alta: uma análise crítica

This paper argues that orthodox models of high inflation for developing countries, based on seminal Cagan's model of hyperinflation, present some weak points by ignoring the complexity brought to the economy by high inflation, as well as by assuming that economic agents can dwell in this situation because they are endowed with an "unbounded rationality" to take their decisions. The paper argues too, that in order to understand this process and to suggest proper policies, it is necessary to recognize that a desinflationary process requires gradual policies that allow economic agents to adjust their behavior to the new circumstances that are brought about by these policies. The hypothesis to make about this behavior is that is characterized by a "bounded rationality".

El exceso de confianza y el statu quo dentro de la estructuración de capital: una perspectiva de las finanzas corporativas del comportamiento

El presente artículo, presenta un análisis de las decisiones de estructuración de capital de la compañía Merck Sharp & Dome S.A.S, desde la perspectiva de las finanzas comportamentales, comparando los métodos utilizados actualmente por la compañía seleccionada con la teoría tradicional de las finanzas, para así poder evaluar el desempeño teórico y real. Incorporar elementos comportamentales dentro del estudio permite profundizar más sobre de las decisiones corporativas en un contexto más cercano a los avances investigativos de las finanzas del comportamiento, lo cual lleva a que el análisis de este artículo se enfoque en la identificación y entendimiento de los sesgos de exceso de confianza y statu quo, pero sobre todo su implicación en las decisiones de financiación. Según la teoría tradicional el proceso de estructuración de capital se guía por los costos, pero este estudio de caso permitió observar que en la práctica esta relación de costo-decisión está en un segundo lugar, después de la relación riesgo-decisión a la hora del proceso de estructuración de capital.

EXISTENCE RESULTS FOR NEUTRAL INTEGRO-DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS WITH UNBOUNDED DELAY

In this paper we discuss the existence of mild, strict and classical solutions for a class of abstract integro-differential equations in Banach spaces. Some applications to ordinary and partial integro-differential equations are considered.

Existence Results for Abstract Partial Neutral Integro-differential Equation with Unbounded Delay

In this paper we study the existence and regularity of mild solutions for a class of abstract partial neutral integro-differential equations with unbounded delay.

Random perturbations of stochastic processes with unbounded variable length memory

We consider binary infinite order stochastic chains perturbed by a random noise. This means that at each time step, the value assumed by the chain can be randomly and independently flipped with a small fixed probability. We show that the transition probabilities of the perturbed chain are uniformly close to the corresponding transition probabilities of the original chain. As a consequence, in the case of stochastic chains with unbounded but otherwise finite variable length memory, we show that it is possible to recover the context tree of the original chain, using a suitable version of the algorithm Context, provided that the noise is small enough.

Dissolution of a solid sphere in an unbounded, stagnant liquid

An exact analytical solution is obtained for the transient dissolution of solid spheres in a diffusion-controlled environment. This result provides a useful reference point for drug testing in humans. The dimensionless solution is expressed in terms of a single parameter, which accounts for solubility, bulk flow, and stagnant fluid composition. A simple, explicit and exact expression was found to predict time-to-complete dissolution (TCD). An approximate solution was also found which tracks the exact case for low solubility conditions.
