Rey Hernández - Julián

Studies have shown that attractive people have higher earnings. In this paper, we test the hypothesis that physical attractiveness may be a proxy for unobserved productivity. We compare the impact of attractiveness on grades in college courses where instructors can directly observe the student’s appearance to courses where they do not. We confirm that appearance matters: attractive female stude...

Guillermo Cortiñas And

We show how methods from K-theory of operator algebras can be applied in a completely algebraic setting to define a bivariant, M∞-stable, homotopy-invariant, excisive Ktheory of algebras over a fixed unital ground ring H, (A, B) 7→ kk∗(A, B), which is universal in the sense that it maps uniquely to any other such theory. It turns out kk is related to C. Weibel’s homotopy algebraic K-theory, KH....

Hernández - Dueñas RESEARCH STATEMENT IN : SEMICLASSICAL ANALYSIS

My research interests include the area of semiclassical analysis. In collaboration with Professor Alejandro Uribe, we develop semiclassical analysis on certain phase spaces (symplectic manifolds) with boundary, construct a symbolic calculus for semiclassical operators with singular symbols and study propagation. This has applications to spectral theory and mathematical physics. However, I also ...

Capital Inflows , Liquidity and Bubbles Guillermo

Policymakers in Emerging Market economies (EMs) are facing a serious dilemma: while their economies are currently benefiting from a surge of capital inflows, they fear a replay of the 1990s and early 2000s when their economies underwent costly Sudden Stops (of capital inflows). A serious concern is that a capital‐inflow episode could give rise to "bubbles," i.e., an artificial or transitory inc...
