    Multi agentes y autómatas celulares como base para el análisis eficaz y realista de la macroeconomía
    (Universidad de Cuenca, 2016-12) Donoso Correa, Mario Ernesto; Donoso Correa, Jorge Santiago
    Throughout history many economic theories saw daylight that tried to solve problems related with production, unemployment, poverty and social injustice. Some of these doctrines have been supported using different mathematics, computer and even psychological techniques. This article presents an unorthodox proposal of macroeconomic development, with the government as backbone for productive public investment, and the objective to enhance productivity and business competition; which in turn leads to an increase in purchasing power of the people, more jobs and wealth distribution. For the explanation of the operation of the proposal’s economic cycle and the economic behavior of the multi agents the manuscript used respectively the diagramming and cellular automaton techniques.

    The triple helix model of silicon valley and Ecuador
    (Universidad de Cuenca, 2016-12) Ledesma, Yolanda E.; Cobos, Angel R.
    Silicon Valley emerged as a center of research and innovative technological development. The unprecedented success of Silicon Valley is a result of the interaction between the structural transformation of technology and economic resources, and the social, cultural and institutional conditions of entrepreneurship. Ecuador created recently the City of Knowledge “Yachay”; named the “Ecuadorian Silicon Valley”. The objective of this paper is to analyze the Government-Industry, Government-University, and University-Industry interactions in Silicon Valley and Ecuador in general, as basis for the identification of achievements and gaps. First, a brief review of the historical evolution of Silicon Valley during its 70 years of existence is given, highlighting the amazing and unexpected growth and technological and economic progress. The methodology used in this article is the Triple Helix model enabling to analyze the interactions between the three sectors: Government, Industry, and University. The initial double helix Government-University and University-Industry interactions in Silicon Valley converged over time into the triple helix University-Industry-Government relations. This article identifies the limitations of the relationships and suggest the strategies that the Ecuadorian government should pursue and implement the ones that lead the Valley to success. Ecuador is now trying to develop a knowledge economy in anticipation that someday its economy based on natural resources might dry up.
