Investigación experimental del juego de simulación como herramienta de aprendizaje en contabilidad de gestión
2015
El objetivo general de la tesis es analizar los Juegos Serios como herramienta de la educación universitaria desde tres perspectivas, qué atributos debe tener el juego, qué percepción tienen los estudiantes sobe esta herramienta para alcanzar sus logros en adquisición de conocimientos y competencias y la percepción de los profesores sobre las ventajas, limitaciones o razones para su escasa implantación y potenciales desarrollos de futuro. Para ellos realizamos tres trabajos independientes y basamos el estudio empírico en la utilización de un SG concreto: “Platform wars simulation”, desarrollado por el Instituto Tecnológico de Massachusetts (Sterman, 2010). Los dos primeros trabajos se reali…

"Rational herding in crowdfunding, social preferences under uncertainty, and overplacement in known and unknown tasks: a behavioral approach"
2020
It has been proved in this dissertation how experimental economics continues to be a tool that, as it nourishes theoretical economics (and viceversa), it keeps producing results that are necessary to understand how to articulate social relations which, ultimately, have consequences oneconomic relations. Specifically, Chapter 1 has studied how the dissemination of new information affects crowdfunding markets and the generation of herding behaviour. Specifically, we provide evidence in that such behaviour is rational and could be well moulded through optimal choice under uncertainty with Bayesian review of beliefs. In this sense, the effect of the first sponsors on the agents# behaviour has b…
Sustainable financing through crowdfunding
2019
The phenomenon of crowdfunding has been widely studied, while the sustainability of crowdfunded ventures is attracting growing interest from academia and society. In light of this interest, we conducted bibliometric analysis to study the relationship between crowdfunding and crowdfunded ventures&rsquo
LA CRISIS ECONÓMICA COMO OPORTUNIDAD PARA REPENSAR LAS RELACIONES DE GÉNERO
2012
Resumen: Las situaciones de crisis son poco propicias para sostener reivindicaciones igualitaristas, tanto por el lado de la desinversión en medidas reparadoras de la desigualdad como por el de la presión de sectores refractarios a la emancipación. Se revelan así algunos déficits sustanciales en la producción reciente de ciencia social y de políticas públicas desde la perspectiva del género, incapaces aún de aportar una cultura antidiscriminatoria consistente. Aquí se plantea una reflexión sobre el género que pueda basar nuevos discursos y nuevas políticas reorientadas hacia la igualdad, subrayándose la importancia de los movimientos sociales y de las alianzas horizontales en su seno. Abstr…
Virtual Reality and Games
2018
The concept of Virtual Reality (VR) dates back to around 1930, where different technologies and concepts arise. For instance, in 1929 Edward Link created the Link Trainer (further patented in 1931), reported to be the first example of a commercial flight simulator, being entirely electromechanical. Also, in the 1930s, the visionary, science fiction writer Stanley G. Weinbaum brings a story (Pygmalion’s Spectacles) that introduces the early idea of a pair of goggles that makes the wearer experience a fictional world through holograms, smell, taste, and touch. Weinbaum describes uncanny experiences for those wearing the goggles, aligned with the modern experiences of VR. It is in the mid 1950…
Carbon emissions by Ssouth american companies: driving factors for reporting decisions and emissions reduction
2018
In the last decade, companies have started to disclose information on carbon emissions. To our knowledge, this is the first paper to look into this phenomenon in South America, which is a very important geographical area regarding climate change because of the local nature and developing economies. This paper explores the relationships between some corporate variables and two important decisions: (i) whether to report carbon emissions, and (ii) the impact on the evolution of carbon emissions. Logit and linear panel data models are used to determine the driving factors for decisions (i) and (ii). Our results show that regarding the carbon reporting decision, a company&rsquo
Leadership in internationalization strategies
2022
This paper examines leadership in internationalization strategies for an asymmetric cost duopoly where firms choose between exports and foreign direct investment (FDI) in a sequential setting. The incentive to lead and to engage in FDI is stronger for the more efficient firm. With sequential choices and the efficient firm playing in advance, it is less likely that firms pick identical internationalization strategies in equilibrium, as compared with simultaneous choices; this is more so for greater cost asymmetry. It also happens for large enough oligopoly profitability when the inefficient firm plays in advance. Follow-the-leader behaviour in FDI arises for low values of the setup cost. Alt…
Towards a sustainable leader-follower relationship: constructive dissensus, organizational virtuousness and happiness at work (haw)
2020
This paper examines how leaders and followers can interact positively under complex and bounded conditions. For this purpose, this paper conceptualizes and measures the concept of constructive dissensus. Constructive dissensus relates to a mutual understanding leading to a situation of coregulation. In addition, the relationship between constructive dissensus and happiness at work is examined on the basis of affective events theory. Furthermore, the mediating role of organizational virtuousness is assessed. Through structural equation modeling, a multilevel analysis was performed. Data from 130 bank branches and 606 employees were gathered. The results reveal a direct effect of constructive…
Ties, Leaders, and Teams: A Social Network Approach
2014
To examine the theoretical and empirical implications of integrating the network and team literatures, we opened three different research lines. First, we argued that leader multiplex ties with their team members fulfilled important functions for team performance. In support of our hypotheses, analysis of data from 84 teams of a Spanish public service organization suggested that leaders’ centrality in their teams’ multiplex networks comprising both advice and friendship ties predicted longitudinal change in team performance, above and beyond members’ own multiplex ties. Beyond main effects, leader multiplex ties differentially interacted with members’ own network ties. We discussed theoreti…
