    During the last decades , with a strong influence of the previous century , we have been tirelessly talking , waiting and building a Development, therefore postwar inherited us the desire to become the image and likeness of the United States, following the speech of Harry Truman President , the fourth point, was the globalized world, as Karl Marx would say , under the influence of opium of industrialization and economic development ; sacrificing people, extracting natural resources without considering the consequences, monetarizando land at its finest etc. . Participation in this process is just a slogan. Social participation in its true dimension goes in the search of Good live, or like Thomas R. Villasante would say improve things every day to live better (R- Villasante , 2013) , without trying to get the absolute truth, but to achieve happiness. " Live differently for better living " ( Latouche , 2003). Involve people in the things they want to do to grow and achieve their development , do with them and not for them , " only the commitment to the rule of development entails to a commitment to the subordination of means objectives (economic growth and technological development) to the end objectives : improved conditions , the level and quality of life for all life forms on the planet " (Lima, SMV , AM, Gomes de Castro , O.

    This paper aims at empirically assess the impact of unskilled immigration on the labor market in a destination country, in this case, Ecuador. As separating types of workers according to their abilities is difficult, it was used as identification strategy, to take account those immigrants coming from Colombia and Peru assuming that they are mostly unskilled. Similarly, variable where impact was assessed were unemployment rates of domestic skilled and unskilled workers. For practical purposes, it is taken as reference, a model developed by Portes & French (2005) for the UK.

    Midiendo la pobreza y la privación en Ecuador (2001-2010)
    (Universidad de Cuenca, 2014-01) Orellana, Mercy
    This paper presents the poverty index for Ecuador based on the methodology of Alkire and Foster (AF) (2007, 2011 a). The proposed methodology consists of six dimensions: educational conditions of the home, conditions of the childhood and the youth, health, work, access to the public services domiciliary and the conditions of the House and income. The index uses a simple weighting structure, in which each variable has the same weight regardless of the dimension it belongs to. Some results are presented in a very general way. The results of IP Ecuador indicate that the multidimensional poverty in Ecuador was reduced between 2001 and 2010 for households with less than 4 deprivations. It can be concluded that despite the reduction in all measures of multidimensional poverty, large imbalances persist between poor and non-poor people. Also, there are large provincial differences, regardless of the dimension analyzed.

    Un modelo tgarch con una distribución t de estudio asimétrica y las hipótesis de racionalidad de los inversionistas bursátiles en Latinoamérica
    (Universidad de Cuenca, 2014-01) Lorenzo Valdés, Arturo; Ruiz Porras, Antonio
    We propose an ARCH model of the TGARCH type with an asymmetric Student's t distribution. It is built using the methodology of Fernandez and Steel (1998) and the traditional TGARCH model developed by Zakoian (1994). The model is used to describe series of stock market returns and to assess the validity of the rationality hypotheses in Latin America. The results suggest that: 1) The series can be described adequately with the proposed model; (2) the Samuelson´s rationality hypothesis is consistent with the evidence of the markets of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Mexico; 3) the traditional rationality hypothesis is consistent with the evidence of Peru; and (4) the volatility estimated with the proposed model are higher than those estimated with the traditional TGARCH model over the period 2008-2009.
