Joint elicitation of elasticity of intertemporal substitution, risk and time preferences

The elicitation of the elasticity of intertemporal substitution (EIS), discount factor and risk attitude parameters in dynamic models is of central importance to economics, finance and public policy. This paper suggests an alternative method to jointly elicit and estimate these three parameters using experimental data. We employ a new model based on dynamic quantile preferences, where individuals maximize the stream of future ‐quantile utilities, for . These preferences are simple, dynamically consistent and monotonic. In the quantile model, the risk attitude is captured by the quantile of the payoff distribution, while the EIS and the discount factor are related to the utility function describing individual's intertemporal behaviour, hence allowing for complete separability between risk, EIS and discount factor. The estimation of the parameters of interest uses a structural maximum likelihood method. Individual's risk aversion is estimated below the median. The discount factor is marginally smaller than estimates reported in the literature, and the EIS is slightly larger than one, which suggests that utility over time is concave. The estimates for the elasticity contrast with those reported by the existing studies using observational disaggregated data, which in general find an elasticity smaller than one

Revictimización en delitos de agresión contra mujeres o integrantes del grupo familiar

The objective of the study was to investigate how the rules to prevent revictimization in cases of violence against women affect the accused’s right to defense. The documentary analysis method was applied to 20 investigations on the subject and subsequently research articles on revictimization in cases of violence against women and the violation of the accused’s right to defense were chosen. The results of the bibliographic review allow us to conclude that the rules intended to prevent the phenomenon of revictimization in crimes of violence against women indirectly link the right to defense of the accused; This is because the rules for the victim’s sole testimony (Gesell camera testimony) make it impossible for the accused to develop the right to contradiction and undermine the principle of presumption of innocence.El estudio tuvo como objetivo investigar de qué forma las reglas para impedir la revictimización en los casos de violencia contra la mujer inciden en el derecho a la defensa del imputado. Se aplicó el método de análisis documental a 20 investigaciones sobre la materia y posteriormente se eligió artículos de investigación sobre la revictimización en caso de violencia contra la mujer y la vulneración del derecho a la defensa del imputado. Los resultados de revisión bibliográfica permiten concluir que las reglas destinadas a impedir el fenómeno de la revictimización en los delitos de violencia contra la mujer unen de forma indirecta el derecho a la defensa del imputado; esto en razón de que las reglas de testimonio único de la víctima (testimonio en cámara Gesell) imposibilitan que se desenvuelva el derecho a la contradicción por parte del imputado y se vea mermado el principio de presunción de inocencia
