We conducted a spatial and temporal analysis of housing patterns in Mexico City by utilizing an extensive database of 16,000 prices for flats and houses, covering the period from 2000 to 2022. Our ...findings reveal a striking trend: The average housing prices have quadrupled over a 20-y period, without considering inflation. In contrast, the per capita labor income of Mexican citizens has declined relative to inflation. As a result, the average family encountered four times greater challenges in accessing housing in 2015 as compared to 2005. Furthermore, our research demonstrates that areas that have undergone significant gentrification or super-gentrification contribute to a widespread increase in land value on neighboring zones, leading to the emergence of clusters of highly expensive neighborhoods.
This paper simulates the medium- and long-term impact of proposed and expected energy policy on the environment and on the Mexican economy. The analysis has been conducted with a Multi-sector ...Macroeconomic Model for the Evaluation of Environmental and Energy policy (Three-ME). This model is well suited for policy assessment purposes in the context of developing economies as it indicates the transitional effects of policy intervention. Three-ME estimates the carbon tax required to meet emissions reduction targets within the Mexican “Climate Change Law”, and assesses alternative policy scenarios, each reflecting a different strategy for the recycling of tax revenues. With no compensation, the taxation policy would reduce CO2 emissions by more than 75% by 2050 with respect to Business as Usual (BAU), but at high economic costs. Under full redistribution of carbon tax revenues, a double dividend arises: the policy appears beneficial both in terms of GDP and CO2 emissions reduction.
•A model is designed to evaluate transitional effects of climate policy in Mexico.•The level of the carbon tax is computed to meet national emissions targets in 2050.•Distribution of the carbon tax revenues is a key element to get a double dividend.•Magnitude of benefits depends on the flexibility of production/consumption structure.•A double dividend is possible even when carbon tax is implemented unilaterally.

Informal recreation activities derived from Colorado River water flow produce economic benefits. In order to prove this, we used a contingent valuation method (CVM), based on a survey applied to 100 ...visitors originating mainly from San Luis Rio Colorado; a single bounded econometric analysis was performed on the referendum question of willingness to pay (WTP). Many regressions using Probit and Logit models were run to obtain different estimators of central tendency of WTP. The estimated annual profit from such activities is between 1.9 and 6 million pesos a year.
Las actividades recreativas informales, derivadas de los flujos de agua del río Colorado, arrojan beneficios económicos. Para comprobarlo se utilizó un método de valoración contingente (MVC), con ...base en una encuesta aplicada a cien visitantes, principalmente de San Luis Río Colorado; se realizó un análisis econométrico de un solo límite a la pregunta referéndum de disponibilidad a pagar (DAP) . Se corrieron varias regresiones utilizando los modelos Probit y Logit, para obtener estimadores diferentes de tendencia central de la DAP. El monto estimado de ganancias generadas por dichas actividades está entre 1.9 y 6 millones de pesos anuales.
Cryptosystems require the computation of modular exponentiation, this operation is related to the problem of finding a minimal addition chain. However, obtaining the shortest addition chain of length ...n is an NP-Complete problem whose search space size is proportional to n!. This paper introduces a novel idea to compute the minimal addition chain problem, through an implementation of a Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm. The representation used in our SA is based on Factorial Number System (FNS). We use a fine-tuning process to get the best performance of SA using a Covering Array (CA), Diophantine Equation solutions (DE) and Neighborhood Functions (NF). We present a parallel implementation to execute the fine-tuning process using a Message Passing Interface (MPI) and the Single Program Multiple Data (SPMD) model. These features, allowed us to calculate minimal addition chains for benchmarks considered difficult in very short time, the experimental results show that this approach is a viable alternative to solve the solution of the minimal addition chain problem.
This paper aims to face the problem of getting Brauer Chains (BC) of minimum length by using a Mutation-Selection (MS) algorithm and a representation based on the Factorial Number System (FNS). We ...explain our MS strategy and report the experimental results for a benchmark considered difficult to show that this approach is a viable alternative to solve this problem by getting the shortest BCs reported in the literature and in a reasonable time. Also, it was used a fine-tuning process for the MS algorithm, which was done with the help of Covering Arrays (CA) and the solutions of a Diophantine Equation (DE).
