The Distribution Function of a Probability Measure on a Linearly Ordered Topological Space

In this paper, we describe a theory of a cumulative distribution function on a space with an order from a probability measure defined in this space. This distribution function plays a similar role to that played in the classical case. Moreover, we define its pseudo-inverse and study its properties. Those properties will allow us to generate samples of a distribution and give us the chance to calculate integrals with respect to the related probability measure

A Residential Energy Demand System for Spain

Sharp price fluctuations and increasing environmental and distributional concerns, among other issues, have led to a renewed academic interest in energy demand. In this paper we estimate, for the first time in Spain, an energy demand system with household microdata. In doing so, we tackle several econometric and data problems that are generally recognized to bias parameter estimates. This is obviously relevant, as obtaining correct price and income responses is essential if they may be used for assessing the economic consequences of hypothetical or real changes. With this objective, we combine data sources for a long time period and choose a demand system with flexible income and price responses. We also estimate the model in different sub-samples to capture varying responses to energy price changes by households living in rural, intermediate and urban areas. This constitutes a first attempt in the literature and it proved to be a very successful choice.households, energy, demand, spain, location

A Macro and Microeconomic Integrated Approach to Assessing the Effects of Public Policies

Most public policies have not only efficiency but also distributional effects. However, there is a kind of trade-off between modeling approaches suitable for calculating each one of these impacts on the economy. For the former, most of the studies have been conducted with general equilibrium models, whereas partial equilibrium models represent the main approach for distributional analysis. This paper proposes a methodology which enables us to carry out an analysis of the distributional and efficiency consequences of public policies. In order to do so, we have integrated a microeconomic household demand model and a computable general equilibrium model for the Spanish economy. We illustrate the advantages of this approach by simulating a revenue-neutral reform in Spanish indirect taxation, with a reduction of VAT and a simultaneous increase of energy taxes. The results show that the reform brings about significant efficiency and distributional effects, in some cases counterintuitive, and demonstrate the academic and social utility of this approximation.Taxes, general equilibrium, micro modeling, efficiency, distribution

Reflexiones en torno a la Educación Religiosa: Elementos para una propuesta desde la psicología de la religión

Este trabajo presenta, críticamente, los funda-mentos de la educación religiosa en Costa Rica. A tal fin,retoma elementos conceptuales de la psicología de la re-ligión y de la psicología del desarrollo humano; en parti-cular, de la psicología del desarrollo moral. Principal-mente, reflexiona en torno al desarrollo de la fe y al jui-cio moral sobre la educación religiosa en Costa Rica. Fi-nalmente, critica algunos elementos que plantean unaeducación religiosa tendiente a desarrollar la fe juntocon el juicio moral, además de ofrecer una visión univer-salista sobre el fenómeno religios

La investigación evaluativa de programas educativos con tecnologías de la información y la comunicación: Propuesta del Estado de la cuestión

En este artículo se presenta una propuesta de estado del arte sobre investigación y evaluación de programas educativos que tiene como característica estar mediados por tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC). En el artículo se revisan las principales intenciones y modelos de los enfoques evaluativos de tales programas, las tendencias generales en lo que respecta a la evaluación de impacto, las tendencias en el uso de indicadores y marcos de evaluación, los principales métodos y técnicas de evaluación, y finalmente el abordaje del tema de la equidad social en la evaluación educativa. Con estos elementos se realiza un balance que permite proponer una lectura del estado actual en esta novel temátic
