A model-free test of rational bubbles: an application to the US housing market
Full text linkThe recent house price appreciation in the United States has renewed the interest in determining the existence of ”bubbles”. We provide a model-free test of rational bubbles and apply it to the U.S. housing market. We derive that there exists a bubble when an increase in the current account deficit raises house prices and they are exacerbated in housing supply inelastic municipalities. We apply this test using metropolitan statistical area data between 1990 and 2022. We consider three suspect episodes: (i) 1996-2000, (ii) 2002- 2006 and (ii) 2020-22. Our findings are consistent with the existence of only one housing bubble episode (2002-06). A strength of this test is that it can be easily applied in real time in any country
Aulas de tecnología aplicada y competencia digital en la formación profesional: diseño, elaboración y validación de un instrumento de recogida de datos
Full text linkIntegrating Applied Technology Classrooms (ATC) into Vocational Education and Training (VET) in Spain has significantly changed the educational landscape. This study focuses on understanding the impact of ATC on VET in Spain, particularly the process of designing a data collection instrument to document strategies, challenges, and outcomes developed in ATC. The study used the Delphi method to collect data from an expert panel in two iterative rounds. Based on the study criteria, 25 individuals were identified and invited to participate in the Delphi process. The final sample of 9 experts participated in the Delphi panel and evaluated the instrument. The panel members were assigned to assess the instrument based on predefined criteria, including univocity, relevance, and importance. The Delphi results, the data collection instrument designed for the research, are considered practical and relevant. The experts involved in the assessment provided overwhelmingly positive feedback, with most items within the instrument receiving high scores (81% in univocity and 87% in relevance). By incorporating expert recommendations and implementing relevant modifications, the resulting instrument is of higher quality and increased relevance, ultimately contributing to greater validity and reliability of the research (3.78 average satisfaction).La integración de las Aulas de Tecnología Aplicada (AtecA) en la Formación Profesional (FP) en España ha transformado el panorama educativo. Este estudio se centra en el impacto del Aula AtecA en la FP, especialmente en el diseño de un instrumento para documentar estrategias, retos y resultados asociados. Utilizando el método Delphi, se recopilaron datos de un panel de expertos en dos rondas iterativas. Una muestra final de 9 expertos participó en el panel Delphi y evaluó los instrumentos. Los expertos evaluaron el instrumento según criterios de univocidad, pertinencia e importancia. Los resultados de Delphi mostraron que el instrumento es práctico y relevante, con puntuaciones altas en univocidad (81%) y relevancia (87%). La retroalimentación positiva de los expertos permitió incorporar recomendaciones y realizar modificaciones, mejorando la calidad y relevancia del instrumento. Esto contribuye a una mayor validez y fiabilidad de la investigación, reflejada en una satisfacción media de 3,78
Recepción de las ideas literarias en el circuito académico de mediados de siglo. Apuntes para una edición crítica del «Juicio lunático» (1750) de J. A. Porcel
Full text linkThe vejamen presented at the Academia del Buen Gusto in Madrid by José Antonio Porcel under the title Juicio lunático (session of 1 October 1750) has not gone unnoticed by many critics who have tried to study the importance of the respective Academias del Trípode and del Buen Gusto in the establishment of the neoclassical ideology in our country. However, this text has never been analyzed in its entirety, but scattered fragments have been reused according to the different themes it deals with and the interests that researchers could exploit in these matters. This article presents an exegesis of the Juicio lunático from a total perspective of the literary and scholarly ideas set out in it and stands as a solid basis from which to undertake the critical edition of the text, which, although not unpublished, lacks critical treatment.El vejamen presentado en la Academia del Buen Gusto de Madrid por José Antonio Porcel bajo el título de Juicio lunático (sesión 1 de octubre de 1750) no ha pasado desapercibido para buena parte de la crítica que ha tratado de estudiar la trascendencia de las academias en el asentamiento del ideario neoclásico. Sin embargo, este texto –de gran interés para el estudio de la recepción de las ideas literarias– nunca antes ha sido analizado en su totalidad, sino que se han reaprovechado fragmentos dispersos según los diferentes temas que en él se abordan y los intereses que sobre estos podían explotar los investigadores. El presente artículo expone una exégesis del Juicio lunático desde una perspectiva total de las ideas literarias y se erige como una base sólida desde la que acometer la edición del texto que, si bien no es inédito, carece de tratamiento crítico
A Thought Too Far: A Case for a Corpus Approach to Bad Knowledge in Old English Literature
Full text linkThis paper explores the results of a pilot study that made use of corpus linguistic and other big data tools to explore the literary and cultural function of knowledge in Old English literature. In particular, it focusses on Bad Knowledge, knowledge that lay outside the confines of social acceptability, and that was used to label people, objects or ideas as evil. Knowledge is a complicated idea in the medieval period, and the discourses around the moral qualitites of knowledge can be traced from antiquity, through to Ælfric of Eynsham, and beyond. However, there exists no easily discernible set of sources that describe epistemological attitudes in vernacular Early English writing. As such, this paper breaks from traditional close reading practices, and turns to a novel, data-based, computational methodology to examine nearly two hundred sentences from ninety-seven different texts, all of which are related to Bad Knowledge. In doing so, it attempts to piece together a framework for what Bad Knowledge may have looked like in the Early English period, and explore the broader relationship of the connections between knowledge, order, and authority. Additionally, it seeks to demonstrate the relevance of computational methods to Old English, and provide a launchpad for future work

The Gothic Portrayal of Morality and Evil: Split Identities in Dorian Gray and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Full text linkThe concept of the dual nature of human beings has been highly present in literature, from the Original Sin to Doctor Faustus, always motivated by the longing for some unattained desire. The subject of Victorian ethics has been enriched by the contribution of Leslie Stephen among other writers, and the concept of evil will be analysed in this paper from the perspective of Philip Cole’s theory. The following paper collects the main ideas from both areas and focuses on the parallel journeys of Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890) and Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886). The respective journeys may appear to be quite resemblant, nevertheless, it is primarily the distinctions between them what is to be considered in the present project. The concepts to be applied to the works of Wilde and Stevenson, namely, morality and evil, will be analysed from the Victorian Gothic perspective, which portrayed darkness as a completely different idea from the traditionally assumed. Evil lurked among the most respectable members of society rather than in faraway castles; and decadence, a widespread topic during the fin de siècle, characterized the development of the characters
