1. THE HARSANYI-RAWLS DEBATE: POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY AS DECISION THEORY UNDER UNCERTAINTY
Abstract Social decisions are often made under great uncertainty - in situations where political principles, and even standard subjective expected utility, do not apply smoothly. In the first section, we argue that the core of this problem lies in decision theory itself - it is about how to act when we do not have an adequate representation of the context of

2. Usefulness of a multiplex PCR for the rapid identification of Candida glabrata species complex in Mexican clinical isolates
ABSTRACT Candida glabrata complex includes three species identified through molecular biology methods: C. glabrata sensu stricto , C. nivariensis and C. bracarensis . In Mexico, the phenotypic methods are still used in the diagnosis; therefore, the presence of C. nivariensis and C. bracarensis among clinical isolates is still unknown. The aim of this study w

4. MIXED EQUILIBRIUM IN 2 × 2 NORMAL FORM GAMES: WHEN BURNING MONEY IS RATIONAL
ABSTRACT We discuss the rationality of burning money behavior from a new perspective: the mixed Nash equilibrium in 2 × 2 normal form games. We support our argument analyzing the first-order derivatives of the players' mixed equilibrium expected utility payoffs with respect to their own utility payoffs. We establish necessary and sufficient conditions that

5. Molecular Sieves Mediated Green Per-O-Acetylation of Carbohydrate Templates and Lipase Catalyzed Regioselective Alcoholysis of 2,3,5-Tri-O-Acetyl-D-Ribonolactone
The per-O-acetylation of D-ribono-1,4-lactone and representative carbohydrates through the combination of acetic anhydride and molecular sieves under solvent-free conditions is demonstrated. The use of 13X/KCl molecular sieves as the heterogeneous catalyst was found to be more efficient than the excess of pyridine normally employed in the conventional method

6. Design to learn: customizing services when the future matters
Internet-based customization tools can be used to design service encounters that maximize customers' utility in the present or explore their tastes to provide more value in the future, where these two goals conflict with each other. Maximizing expected customer satisfaction in the present leads to slow rates of learning that may limit the ability to provide

7. Crescimento, fronteira tecnológica e a hipótese da relatividade do capital humano / Growth, technological frontier and the relative importance of human capital
In recent years several studies have emphasized the importance of human capital for economic development. However, many of these studies have not incorporated the different stages of development to which the economies are found. In this sense, different degrees of proximity to the technological frontier induce the results of economic policy, so that the glob

8. Essays in heterogeneous agent macroeconomics
This thesis is comprised of three chapters. The first article studies the determinants of the labor force participation of elderly American males and investigates the factors that may account for the changes in retirement between 1950 and 2000. We develop a life-cycle general equilibrium model with endogenous retirement that embeds Social Security legislatio

9. Comparative analysis of microsatellite variability in five macaw species (Psittaciformes, Psittacidae): application for conservation
Cross-amplification was tested and variability in microsatellite primers (designed for Neotropical parrots) compared, in five macaw species, viz., three endangered blue macaws (Cyanopsitta spixii [extinct in the wild], Anodorhynchus leari [endangered] and Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus [vulnerable]), and two unthreatened red macaws (Ara chloropterus and Ara maca

10. As implicações do efeito disposição na gestão de fundos de investimento
No início dos anos cinqüenta do século XX, a crença na racionalidade dos agentes econômicos favoreceu o desenvolvimento da escola das Finanças Modernas, fundamentada principalmente em quatro teorias: a Teoria do Portfólio de Markowitz (1952), o Teorema da Irrelevância dos Dividendos de Modigliani e Miller (1961), o Modelo de Precificação de Ativos

11. Interim efficiency with MEU-preferences
Recently Kajii and (2008) proposed to characterize interim efficient allocations in an exchange economy under asymmetric information when uncertainty is represented by multiple posteriors. When agents have Bewley's incomplete preferences, Kajii and Ui (2008) proposed a necessary and sufficient condition on the set of posteriors. However, when agents have Gil

12. The Impact of AIDS on Income and Human Capital
This paper studies the impact of HIV/AIDS on per capita income and education. It ex- plores two channels from HIV/AIDS to income that have not been sufficiently stressed by the literature: the reduction of the incentives to study due to shorter expected longevity and the reduction of productivity of experienced workers. In the model individuals live for thre
