Interpretation of the RAS method : absorption and fabrication effects are incorrect.

The r and s vectors of the RAS method of updating matrices are presented often as corresponding to an absorption effect and a fabrication effect. Here, it is proved that these vectors are unidentified, so their interpretation in terms of fabrication and absorption effect is incorrect..
Conflict, Evolution, Hegemony, and the Power of the State
2013
In a model of evolution driven by conflict between societies more powerful states have an advantage. When the influence of outsiders is small we show that this results in a tendency to hegemony. In a simple example in which institutions differ in their “exclusiveness” we find that these hegemonies will be inefficiently “extractive” in the sense of having inefficiently high taxes, high compensation for state officials, and low welfare.
Expected Behavior and Strategic Sophistication in the Dictator Game
2012
This paper provides novel results for the extensive literature on dictator games: recipients do not expect dictators to behave selfishly, but instead expect the equal split division. The predictions made by dictators are notably different: 45% predicted the zero contribution and 40% the equal split. These results suggest that dictators and recipients are heterogenous with regard to their degree of strategic sophistication and identify the dictator's decision power in a very different manner.
Smart Cities and a Stochastic Frontier Analysis: A Comparison among European Cities
2013
The level of interest in smart cities is growing, and the recent literature on this topic (Holland, 2008; Caragliu et al., 2009, Nijkamp et al., 2011 and Lombardi et al., 2012) identifies a number of factors that characterise a city as smart, such as economic development, environment, human capital, culture and leisure, and e-governance. Thus, the smartness concept is strictly linked to urban efficiency in a multifaceted way. A seminal research for European policy conducted by Giffinger et al. (2007) defines a smart city on the basis of several intangible indicators, such as a smart economy, smart mobility, smart environment, smart people, smart living, and smart governance. These authors’ …
MANAGEMENT CHALLENGES - A PREVIEW IN FUTURE OF CAPITALISM
2012
The economic crisis comes in the context the deepest political crisis faced by the EU today. Economic catastrophe led to the strongest economic crisis since the '30s. Downturns were commonly explained using technical arguments, economic or financial reasons. Because they were discussed by experts in language often inaccessible, so often we face today and dangerous misunderstanding of the population crisis. When talking about economic crises tend to forget that they come in a political context, social and cultural. At the same time, how society reacts to the crisis is decisively influenced by the values it embraces.

Gestión empresarial y dinámica laboral en España
2015
El objetivo del presente artículo es plantear una serie de reflexiones sobre la dinámica labo- ral reciente en la economía española bajo el enfoque analítico de la segmentación laboral. Desde esta perspectiva, la situación y problemas del mercado laboral se explican por un conjunto de factores relacionados con las prácticas de gestión empresarial y no tanto por la regulación que limita la competencia en el mercado o las modalidades contractuales. Nues- tra conclusión es que es necesario superar el marco analítico restringido del enfoque econó- mico convencional e introducir otras dimensiones, que van más allá del mercado, para una mejor compresión de los problemas laborales. En este sentido…
Juego transformado en subcultura. Un análisis del Live-Actio Role-Playing (LARP) como medio de ocio y arte
2015
El LARP es una actividad que procede por una parte de los juegos de rol clásicos, y por otra, de las artes escénicas. Se basa en la interpretación de un personaje de manera improvisada en contacto con otros personajes, es por eso que suele decirse que el LARP es teatro alternativo o interactivo. Además, no existe un público a la manera habitual, sino que el público participa en el propio evento, y todos y cada uno de los participantes son público al mismo tiempo. Los personajes forman parte de una historia que va formándose entre todos los participantes, y que nunca puede predecirse como acabará, ya que es decisión de los propios participantes. Debemos tener en cuenta que alrededor de esta …
