Discrimination in the Private Sphere. A subjective Right or a Legal Abuse. An European North American Legal Comparative Study
En el presente trabajo se estudian los límites de la autonomía privada
desde la perspectiva del derecho a la igualdad y del principio de no
discriminación tanto en el derecho norteamericano como en el europeo,
con especial incidencia a la doctrina española. Por un lado se plantea
si la piedra angular a la hora de establecer límites a la autonomía
privada debe ser el concepto de dignidad o el de igualdad, por otro
superando dicho debate se propone un acercamiento al problema entendido
como una colisión entre derechos fundamentales en la que en cada
concreto supuesto ha de estudiarse cual debe prevalecer. Finalmente se
estima conveniente seguir el modelo de la Constitución de Sudáfrica y
entender que los derechos fundamentales afectan directamente tanto a las
relaciones horizontales como verticales, es decir tanto al ámbito
público como privado.Universidad de Málaga. Campus de Excelencia Internacional Andalucía Tech
Weak value amplification: a view from quantum estimation theory that highlights what it is and what isn't
Weak value amplification (WVA) is a concept that has been extensively used in
a myriad of applications with the aim of rendering measurable tiny changes of a
variable of interest. In spite of this, there is still an on-going debate about
its true nature and whether is really needed for achieving high sensitivity.
Here we aim at solving the puzzle, using some basic concepts from quantum
estimation theory, highlighting what the use of the WVA concept can offer and
what it can not. While WVA cannot be used to go beyond some fundamental
sensitivity limits that arise from considering the full nature of the quantum
states, WVA can notwithstanding enhance the sensitivity of real detection
schemes that are limited by many other things apart from the quantum nature of
the states involved, i.e. technical noise. Importantly, it can do that in a
straightforward and easily accessible manner.Comment: 2 pages, 5 figure
Public debt frontiers: The greek case
Las causas de la crisis de deuda Griega son otras distintas de la indisciplina fiscal. Los indicadores macroeconómicos desde el año 200 a 2006 no indicaban nada que pudiera presagiar el desastre. Causas de tipo estratégico en el manejo de la deuda parecen más razonables a la hora de explicar el fenómenoUniversidad de Málaga. Campus de Excelencia Internacional Andalucía Tech
Public Debt Frontiers: The Greek Case
This paper attempts to quantify the maximum amount of debt that a government can sustain by itself, i.e., the limits to public indebtedness. Using a Dynamic General Equilibrium model where the government is fully characterized, we compute the steady state inverse relationship between the public debt to output ratio and the size of the government, measured as the total public expenditures to output ratio. This line is the budget constraint of a government in steady state. Calibration of the model for the Greek economy to fiscal targets reveals that, for the period just before the current recession, i.e. 2002-2006, the debt to GDP ratio was very close to the calculate limits wich depends dramatically on the interest rates. However, short after de financial crisis of 2008, sustained deficits drove the Greek economy to a point where the Greek Government crossed the debt limit where the country could only meet its debt obligations only if international investors where willing to lend. We conclude that the hight initial level of debts previous the crisis together with the rise in interest rates were the causes of the posterior debt crisis.Universidad de Málaga.
