Describimos un algoritmo rápido para caluclar el histograma de m-distancias en que se basan los estadísticos tipo BDS. El algoritmo generaliza uno que implementa LeBaron, calculando el histograma para cualquier conjunto ...

We show that when the distribution of economic growth is classified by life expectancy, significant and changing structural features emerge. The period 1960-1980 shows a non-linear dependence of average growth on life ...

A broad summary of the theoretical literature on economic growth shows that this theory has transcended the neoclassical paradigm and that market rationality does not govern the human development process. Instead human ...

Este trabajo discute la relación que existe entre la salud y el crecimiento del ingreso y señala la posible existencia de trampas de pobreza relacionadas con la salud, reuniendo resultados de seis trabajos previos sobre ...

We report on a study of the effects of life expectancy and mortality by age and gender groups on economic growth in Mexico, 1950-1995, using a Granger causality test in economic growth equations. Results indicate stronger ...

Market failures in human capital investment and innovation explain the main features of human development and economic growth. This is shown in a Schumpeterian multi-country model with technology transfer and trade. Thus, ...
