Identidad y zozobra. Un asomo a Octavio Paz
No full textThis paper consists of a hermeneutical exercise on the poetry of Octavio Paz. It discusses his ideas about memory, identity and disquiet, in a discourse generated by the dialogue between author and reader in a convergence of poem and history. This reading enables the development of a reflection on the creative vitality of words and the mystery of ‘being for the death’.Se presenta un ejercicio hermenéutico en torno a la poesía de Octavio Paz en el que se observaron las ideas sobre memoria, identidad y zozobra, en un discurrir generado por el diálogo entre autor y lector en convergencia de poema e historia. Esta lectura permitió elaborar una reflexión sobre la vitalidad creadora de la palabra y el misterio del ‘ser para la muerte’
ASSESSING THE FINANCIAL RISKS OF DIVERSIFIED COFFEE PRODUCTION SYSTEMS: AN ALTERNATIVE NONNORMAL CDF ESTIMATION APPROACH
No full textRecently developed techniques are adapted and combined for the modeling and simulation of crop yields and prices that can be mutually correlated, exhibit heteroskedasticity or autocorrelation, and follow nonnormal probability density functions. The techniques are applied to the modeling and simulation of probability distribution functions for the returns of three tropical agroforestry systems for coffee production. The importance of using distribution functions that can more closely reflect the statistical behavior of yields and prices for risk analysis is discussed and illustrated.Risk and Uncertainty,
The Effect of Consumption Based Taxes on Agriculture in the United States
No full textRecently several proposals have arisen to replace the current income tax system in the United States with a consumption based or Fair Tax. This study investigates the effect of such a consumption based tax on agricultural investment decisions using stochastic optimal control to model the investment decision at the farm level. The results indicate that a consumption tax rate of 25.9 percent would be equivalent to the income tax rate paid by very large producers in the United States.Public Economics,

In immigration reform, undocumented immigrants value work visas and family visits more than access to healthcare and social security.
No full textWith a wide-range of competing immigration reform bills being debated in a gridlocked U.S. congress, the question remains: can a compromise bill ever emerge and what is the optimal form it should take? Surprisingly, there is little evidence on the immigration reform attributes most valued by the group who will be most affected: illegal immigrants themselves. Grace Melo, Gregory Colson, and Octavio Ramirez examine the tradeoff and dollar value Hispanic immigrants place on different attributes of competing U.S. Senate and House immigration reform bills. They find that illegal immigrants place a substantial value on long-term work visas, a path to citizenship, and the ability for family members to be eligible for visitation rights. Notably, a green card is valued approximately the same as a ten year work visa. Access to government safety nets including medical care and social security are valued to a lesser extent
PARAMETRIC MODELING AND SIMULATION OF JOINT PRICE-PRODUCTION DISTRIBUTIONS UNDER NON-NORMALITY, AUTOCORRELATION AND HETEROSCEDASTICITY: A TOOL FOR ASSESSING RISK IN AGRICULTURE
No full textThis study presents a way to parametrically model and simulate multivariate distributions under potential non-normality, autocorrelation and heteroscedasticity and illustrates its application to agricultural risk analysis. Specifically, the joint probability distribution (pdf) for West Texas irrigated cotton, corn, sorghum, and wheat production and prices is estimated and applied to evaluate the changes in the risk and returns of agricultural production in the region resulting from observed and predicted price and production trends. The estimated pdf allows for time trends on the mean and the variance and varying degrees of autocorrelation and non-normality (kurtosis and right- or left-skewness) in each of the price and production variables. It also allows for any possible price-price, production-production, or price-production correlation.agricultural risk analysis, autocorrelation, heteroscedasticity, multivariate non-normal simulation, West Texas agriculture, Research Methods/ Statistical Methods, Risk and Uncertainty,
La hija de Rappaccini de Octavio Paz: análisis e interpretación de una farsa trágica
No full text"Este trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar el texto dramático La hija de Rappaccini, única obra de teatro de Octavio Paz. “La hija de Rappaccini de Octavio Paz: análisis e interpretación de una farsa trágica”, consta de cuatro capítulos. El primero, “Tópicos y perspectivas de acercamiento a La hija de Rappaccini de Octavio Paz", se encarga de abordar, en primera instancia, la problemática que representa la escasez de estudios críticos del texto y, de los existentes, los acercamientos son mínimos y escuetos, en cuanto a un análisis dramático propiamente dicho. En este sentido, el capítulo analiza los artículos encontrados y los tópicos que giran en torno al drama paciano: Rappaccini’s daughter-La hija de Rappaccini de Hawthorne y paz respectivamente. La idea es, precisamente, poner sobre la mesa que, las rutas para abordar el texto se han conducido en ideas que se convierten en tópicos o lugares comunes, como la comparación mencionada y la recurrencia forzosa a las ideas y obras del autor; amén de la importancia de ello, este trabajo considera pertinente y justo realizar un análisis donde la óptica del texto gire los reflectores hacia el análisis dramático, propio del género literario al que pertenece.
Chasing Octavio Medellín: San Antonio Artist and Texas Arts Maverick and Digital Exhibition Plan of Chasing Octavio Medellín Exhibition for the Witte Museum's Visible Storage
No full textThe author has granted permission for their work to be available to the general public.This project is a collaboration between myself and Curator Amy Fulkerson of The Witte Museum San Antonio. Curating and producing a digital exhibition on Texas Artist Octavio Medellín (based on research conducted over the last three years in Mérida, San Antonio, and Dallas) will be presented in digital applications to reclaim Octavio Medellín as an artist and cultural bearer in San Antonio, and will subsequently be presented by The Witte on their website. The collaboration aims to produce an experience that bridges art, history, technology, and community to uplift the representation of San Antonio/Texas Artist Octavio Medellín. This work will deepen the scholarship in Maya studies, Art History, and Mexican American History. The digital exhibition (tentatively titled Chasing Octavio Medellín) will open online to relaunch The Witte Museum's redesigned website and then move into a permanent collection in their new Visible Storage platform open to the public. Covid-19 has brought to the forefront for museums, researchers, and educators that digital media is a powerful tool to keep the community engaged and thriving in that engagement. This thesis focuses on Octavio Medellín’s early life and career in San Antonio to reclaim his recognition as a significant Texas artist and place in art history and San Antonio history. The research conducted and collected has informed the materials included in the digital exhibition and the overall themes and objectives of the project. The journey of Medellín’s life serves as a tool for analyzing identity formation for San Antonio residents as his story parallels many whose families fled Mexico after the Revolution.Histor
