Economic Growth, Development and Income Inequality

Economic Growth, Development, and Income Inequality, involve  personal concerns  that have been in my sometimes cloudy mind, even before starting a career in the field of economics.  So this is, and has been, one  of my principal research concerns for more than 5 years, where whether the clouds seem to vanish or not implies  a kind of  development that would be a disgrace not to address. Coming from this position we may find that my first research and  published article for a peer-reviewed journal focused on a solution that was able to explain the total income inequality  as the result of two aswell measurable inequalities named responsibility,opportunity. It was a joint work, with who I was very lucky to receive direction and informal instruction on cooperative game theory from; Joss Sánchez-Pérez at the Autonomous University of San Luis Potosí (MEX)( Sánchez-Pérez, Joss and Rosas-Martínez, Víctor (2012), “A Decomposition of the Atkinson Index Through the Shapley Value”. Theoretical Economics Letters, 2, December, 539-544.). 

 

The capital (of course human) accumulation from these wars (of thought) are  whose happening  implies avoiding disgrace (See the arguments  on the impact of the media and public discussion contained in Sen and Drèz, 2013 "An Uncertain Glory of Convergence Clubs". Princeton University Press) and where topics like open defecation charge relevance. Moving away from that consideration of the opportunity equality as the normative point, where we could include well known problems such as the one of accountability (that relates to a non-corrupt concept of resources managing), my recent research focuses in post ricardian (that limited resources hoarding would necessarily lead to the resolution of a property tax) issues, namely the development mechanics i.e. mechanism design,  by including deprivations (circumstantial factors) as a determinant element (globally) of rankeable dynamics, that correspond to criteria that goes beyond the essentially established one  by Ramsey (1928), “A Mathematical Theory of Saving”, The Economic Journal, Vol. 38, No. 152 (Dec., 1928), pp. 543-559. This makes my current research and interests to be  part of the Behavioral Macroeconomics branch where my ways of thinking are composed by the gender  of Social Choice (e.g. Kenneth Arrow, Salvador Barberà, Condorcet) in the same way that Matching Theories and Coalitional Games (e.g. Lloyd Shapley, Tayfun Sönmez, Abhijit Banerjee), Poverty Traps (e.g. Oded Galor, Joseph Zeira, Costas Azariadis, Elvio Accinelli, Edgar Carrera), and Impact and Incentives (e.g. Sam Bowles and Sandra Polanía-Reyes, 2012, “Economic Incentives and Social Preferences: Substitutes or Complements?”. Journal of Economic Literature 2012, 50:2, 368–425) among the principal ones.  

In this manner, though the delayed arrival of   my thesis defense (Ph.D. in Economics at the Universities of Siena, Pisa and Florence), (The title of the thesis is: “A Close Up to Governmental and Social Factors with a Technologically Limited Impact on Economic Growth and Development”), independently of the evident fact that whether a more or less cloudy vision happens to be worst than a blind one, where we must consider works like Ravallion, Martin (1992). “On “Hunger and Public Action””. The World Bank Research Observer, 7, January, 1-16. on how to fight this  certain depravation,  I unconditionally hope that, first you  give me the opportunity to join you and work towards a dimensionally desired equilibrium, and alleged, that thus shows more stability, and     chance inducing social bricks that build up on prospering (so inclusive and expanding (personally))  knowledge (not only economic) stock (the list goes on).
