SENTIDOS ASOCIADOS AL USO DE LAS CRIPTOMONEDAS EN LA CDMX: UNA EXPLORACIÓN DESDE LA ANTROPOLOGÍA SEMIÓTICA

Triana Carrillo Aguilar (2023, [Tesis de maestría])

“El dinero suele definirse como un medio de intercambio socialmente aceptado que facilita las transacciones. Aunque estos elementos cumplen con el orden explicativo del signo, el dinero y su uso es portador de diferentes sentidos. En 1914 Marcel Mauss se dio a la tarea de buscar las formas más primitivas y simples en las que se hubiera representado la noción de moneda o dinero en las distintas sociedades, identificando objetos como la sal o los metales preciosos, pasando por representaciones materiales de diversa índole. Actualmente, el dinero y la moneda han cambiado de forma, algunas tan complejas y abstractas como el dinero electrónico o las criptomonedas. Partiendo de la premisa de Mauss (1914), ¿podríamos pensar que estamos hablando de nociones más elevadas de la representación del dinero gracias a lo complejo de su tecnología? ¿Qué ha cambiado? A las criptomonedas no las podemos ver, ni tocar, ni sentir, ni oler (a diferencia del papel moneda), no obstante, significan. Esta investigación aborda el tema del dinero, la moneda y las criptomonedas, específicamente se enfoca en el uso y percepción delas criptomonedas en la Ciudad de México, de acuerdo con las experiencias de integrantes de las comunidades que se han formado a partir del uso, o la búsqueda de orientación y aprendizaje colectivos, como una red de interlocutores. Por medio de su producción discursiva colectiva e individual, examino cómo se ha ido generando y articulando una economía en torno al uso de las criptomonedas y a las prácticas asociadas a estas. El trabajo de campo, digital y convencional, realizado en la Ciudad de México entre abril y diciembre de 2022, me permitió describir y analizar etnográficamente a comunidades y usuarios individuales de criptomonedas, para explorar cuáles son los posibles sentidos generados por el uso de criptomonedas y qué factores intervienen en ello”.

Determinantes tecnológicos de las decisiones de inversión: un análisis de la industria manufacturera mexicana

Technological determinants and investment decisions: a Mexican manufacturing industry analysis

CELINA LOPEZ MATEO SANJUANA MARTHA RIOS MANRIQUEZ RUBEN MOLINA SANCHEZ (2015, [Artículo])

En este trabajo se analiza la influencia de determinantes tecnológicos en las decisiones de inversión de las empresas manufactureras mexicanas. Se utilizan estimaciones de eficiencia obtenidas a partir del Análisis Envolvente de Datos (DEA, por sus siglas en inglés), así como indicadores tecnológicos para las regresiones a través de Mínimos Cuadrados Ordinarios (MCO). El análisis se realiza partiendo de datos de corte transversal. La evidencia empírica sugiere que la eficiencia técnica a partir de los factores productivos capital y trabajo puede incentivar los niveles de inversión.

The influence of technological determinants on the investment decisions of Mexican manufacturing firms is discussed in this work. Efficiency estimates obtained from the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and technology indicators for the regressions through Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) are used to develop the study. The analysis is based on cross-sectional data. Empirical evidence suggests that the technological efficiency that arises from productive factors (capital and labor) may encourage investment.

A twelve years story of waste of social resources: The Mexico-Toluca Interurban Train

Rubén Chavarín (2024, [Artículo, Artículo])

The general objective of this paper is to make an ex-post evaluation of the Mexico-Toluca Interurban Train project (TIMT) more than nine years after the beginning of its construction stage. The present study is based on the cost-benefit analysis approach, through which some analysis scenarios have been built and whose results are contrasted with the official project evaluations. The present research has focused on the analysis of the TIMT as a microcosm of the scarce efficiency of public investment in Mexico, resulting in a waste of social resources. According to the results of the study, the combination of delays and cost overruns (186% in nominal terms, 114% in real terms, and 90% in dollars) has configured a project (across two Federal Government Administrations) with negative social profitability, with losses valued at more than 550 million dollars, placing it in the most problematic quartile of train projects in the world.

Regional analysis of the wage discrimination in the indigenous workers in Mexico

Christian De la Luz-Tovar SIBYL ITALIA PINEDA SALAZAR (2023, [Artículo, Artículo])

The objective of this research is to estimate and decompose the wage gap between indigenous and non-indigenous workers by region in Mexico, to examine whether there are regional differences in the existing wage inequality that a priori affects the indigenous population and whether these differences can be attributed to the job profile of this group or by systematic labor discrimination against them. Using the data from the 2018 National Household Expenditure Revenue Survey (ENIGH-N) and the Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition, it was found that indigenous workers face a wage gap in all regions of the county. But, this gap is more pronounced in the center and south regions, where, on average, the associated component with labor discrimination has a percentage greater than 56. In contrast, in the north-central and northern regions of Mexico, the residual component is on average less than 33%, which suggests that the wage gap is explained by differences in productivity between groups.
