Regional and international market integration of a small open economy

This paper studies the relationship between a set of commodity prices in a small open economy like Uruguay and the corresponding international and regional prices. The empirical methodology used is the multivariate cointegration procedure based on maximum likelihood methods introduced by Johansen (1988) as well as estimations of half-life persistence indicators. In the case of cereals, the evidence suggests strong market integration between domestic and regional markets and, to some extent, also to international markets. Therefore, directly or indirectly, domestic prices are connected with the efficient price signal. Results for beef indicate strong market integration between the domestic market and the regional market, which is not so well connected with international markets. Thus, domestic price appears to be linked to a regional price that is not linked to the efficient price signal.commodity prices, law of one price, market integration, cointegration

Transcriptómica en "Mytilus galloprovincialis": validación de xenes expresados diferencialmente fronte á toxina do ácido okadaico

[Resumo]O acido okadaico atópase entre as toxinas marinas mais abundantes en Galicia, tendo a capacidade de producir periodicamente a síndrome gastrointestinal Diarrhetic Shellfish Poisoning tras o consumo de moluscos bivalvos contaminados. Este traballo avalía a expresión diferencial dos xenes citocromo oxidasa subunidades II e III, caspasa 3 7-3, p53, citocromo P450 e heat shock protein 70 na branquia do mexillón Mytilus galloprovincialis en tempos curtos de exposición a toxina ácido okadaico coa finalidade de obter biomarcadores de contaminación temperá. Os mexillóns tratados foron divididos en dous grupos e alimentáronse con cultivos da microalga productora de ácido okadaico Prorocentrum lima a concentracións de 200 e 20000 células/mL. Os resultados mostran a sobreexpresión do xene citocromo P450 a ambas as concentracións, confirmando o seu potencial como biomarcador de resposta a acido okadaico. O xene caspasa 3 7-3 aparece sobreexpresado unicamente a 200 cél/mL, polo que e preciso profundizar no seu estudo.Traballo fin de grao (UDC.CIE). Bioloxía. Curso 2013/201
