Book Description
Una metafora sobre una aldea es el punto de partida para la discusión de los modelos mentales existentes sobre el desarrollo economico y nos aproxima a una comprensión social basada en el comportamiento y en la interacción de sus actores. La construcción de un modelo de dinamica de sistemas donde se representan los procesos socioeconómicos de nuestra aldea permitira acompañar una conversacipon conducente a un proceso pedagógico basado en una simulación de diferentes acciones y decisiones de los actores. El libro intenta una aproximacion al problema de la pobreza y del desarrollo desde las perspectivas de la teoria de sistemas, la economia sistemica y la sociologia, partiendo de responderse a la pregunta fundamental acerca de la real capacidad de generacion de bienestar de los individuos y de las comunidades.

The book gives the reader some thematic variety and conceptual diversity that are difficult to find in any other current selection, allowing the reader to have direct access (with no other restrictions than that of the quantity of articles s/he is faced with), to what is the essence of the socio-cultural paradigm in today’s world: very diverse answers to very different cultural situations in different parts of the world, provided by groups of researchers and practitioners in education, who come from theoretical traditions that are sometimes divergent and even opposing, and who concur in the search for the roots of development and learning in the cultural and educational contexts. Idiomas: Inglés, con resumen extenso en español, Español con resumen extenso en inglés Este volumen reúne diversas aportaciones sobre la cultura y la educación realizadas desde la perspectiva sociocultural. El libro le ofrece al lector una variedad temática y una diversidad conceptual difícilmente accesibles en cualquier otro tipo de selección al uso, permitiéndole acceder directamente, sin otros límites que los impuestos por la propia afluencia de trabajos, a lo que constituye la esencia del paradigma sociocultural en el mundo de hoy: respuestas muy diversas a situaciones culturales muy distintas en todo el mundo, realizadas por grupos de investigadores y trabajadores de la educación que, aún proviniendo de tradiciones teóricas a veces divergentes y hasta enfrentadas, coinciden en buscar en los entornos culturales y educativos las raíces del desarrollo y el aprendizaje.
Spatial Econometrics: Methods and Models
Author: L. AnselinPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401577994
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 295
Book Description
Spatial econometrics deals with spatial dependence and spatial heterogeneity, critical aspects of the data used by regional scientists. These characteristics may cause standard econometric techniques to become inappropriate. In this book, I combine several recent research results to construct a comprehensive approach to the incorporation of spatial effects in econometrics. My primary focus is to demonstrate how these spatial effects can be considered as special cases of general frameworks in standard econometrics, and to outline how they necessitate a separate set of methods and techniques, encompassed within the field of spatial econometrics. My viewpoint differs from that taken in the discussion of spatial autocorrelation in spatial statistics - e.g., most recently by Cliff and Ord (1981) and Upton and Fingleton (1985) - in that I am mostly concerned with the relevance of spatial effects on model specification, estimation and other inference, in what I caIl a model-driven approach, as opposed to a data-driven approach in spatial statistics. I attempt to combine a rigorous econometric perspective with a comprehensive treatment of methodological issues in spatial analysis.

Anuario indigenista
Author: Remittances and Development
Author: Pablo FajnzylberPublisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN: 0821368710
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 410
Book Description
Workers' remittances have become a major source of financing for developing countries and are especially important in Latin America and the Caribbean, which is at the top of the ranking of remittance receiving regions in the world. While there has been a recent surge in analytical work on the topic, this book is motivated by the large heterogeneity in migration and remittance patterns across countries and regions, and by the fact that existing evidence for Latin America and the Caribbean is restricted to only a few countries, such as Mexico and El Salvador. Because the nature of the phenomenon varies across countries, its development impact and policy implications are also likely to differ in ways that are still largely unknown. This book helps fill the gap by exploring, in the specific context of Latin America and Caribbean countries, some of the main questions faced by policymakers when trying to respond to increasing remittances flows. The book relies on cross-country panel data and household surveys for 11 Latin American countries to explore the development impact of remittance flows along several dimensions: growth, poverty, inequality, schooling, health, labor supply, financial development, and real exchange rates.
Cybernetics or Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine, Reissue of the 1961 second edition
Author: Norbert WienerPublisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262537842
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
A classic and influential work that laid the theoretical foundations for information theory and a timely text for contemporary informations theorists and practitioners. With the influential book Cybernetics, first published in 1948, Norbert Wiener laid the theoretical foundations for the multidisciplinary field of cybernetics, the study of controlling the flow of information in systems with feedback loops, be they biological, mechanical, cognitive, or social. At the core of Wiener's theory is the message (information), sent and responded to (feedback); the functionality of a machine, organism, or society depends on the quality of messages. Information corrupted by noise prevents homeostasis, or equilibrium. And yet Cybernetics is as philosophical as it is technical, with the first chapter devoted to Newtonian and Bergsonian time and the philosophical mixed with the technical throughout. This book brings the 1961 second edition back into print, with new forewords by Doug Hill and Sanjoy Mitter. Contemporary readers of Cybernetics will marvel at Wiener's prescience—his warnings against “noise,” his disdain for “hucksters” and “gadget worshipers,” and his view of the mass media as the single greatest anti-homeostatic force in society. This edition of Cybernetics gives a new generation access to a classic text.
