  • América en el Annus Mirabilis de la Monarquía de España

    Open AccessElvio Accinelli, Amorina Villarreal Brasca et al.ARTICLEHipogrifo Revista de literatura y…2026

    This paper studies the evolutionary dynamics of migration. We argue that, under bounded rationality, the strategic foundations of the migrant behavior are based in the imitation of peers. We show that any migratory flow can be modeled from a dynamical system, whose parameters reflect the social and economic policies implemented by the decision maker and the rules of the imitative process followed by the population. Education or technological inno…

  • Cuasi mercado y privatización en el marco del Estado de bienestar de Suecia

    Open AccessOsvaldo SalasARTICLEReforma y democracia2017Referências: 7

    The globalization of the economy and the demographic changes weaken the economic structure of the welfare State. To a large extent, this explains changes in the management of public service production, among others, privatization policies. In Sweden, the new administrative management is carried out within the framework of a quasi-market aimed at reducing operating costs and increase the quality of public services offered. This article examines th…

  • Religious Context and Prosociality

    Open AccessAli Ahmed, Osvaldo SalasARTICLEJournal for the Scientific Study…2013Citada por: 4Referências: 45

    Are people more prosocial in a religious context? We addressed this question through an experiment. We randomly placed participants in the control group in a neutral location (a lecture hall), and we placed participants in the experimental group in a religious location (a chapel). The participants then took part in a one-shot three-person public goods game, which measured participants' degree of cooperativeness. The results showed that participan…

  • The Relationship between Behavioral and Attitudinal Trust

    A Ahmed, Ali M Ahmed et al.ARTICLEReview of Social Economy2009Citada por: 1Referências: 28

    We study the relationship between trust in an experiment and trust measured by means of popular survey items in different countries. Students from Chile, Colombia, India, Mexico and Sweden participate in a public goods game experiment and answer a set of standard attitudinal survey questions about trust. We find that behavioral trust and attitudinal trust significantly differ among countries. Behavioral trust is highest in Sweden, followed by Lat…

  • Trust in India and Sweden

    Open AccessA Ahmed, Ali M Ahmed et al.ARTICLECross-Cultural Research2008Referências: 15

    The authors test the proposition, put forward by Francis Fukuyama, that the higher the level of trust in a country the less corrupt, the more developed, and wealthier its economy will be. They study trust and voluntary cooperation using a one-shot and three-person public goods game experiment in India and Sweden. The results, in line with the proposition, show that the average contribution is significantly larger in Sweden, implying a higher leve…
