This paper uses Þeld evidence and a structural consumption-savings model to estimate discount functions. Evidence on wealth accumulation implies that people act patiently when considering long-term decisions, while data on credit card borrowing and consumption-income comovement suggests impatient behavior in the short term. Using the Method of Simulated Moments we estimate an institutionally ri...

Using carbon and nitrogen stable isotope values, we analyzed the trophic position (TP) isotopic niche width of lanternfishes from three different areas in Southern Pacific Ocean. Fishes Perú had slightly higher δ13C values compared with fish Chilean areas. In contrast, δ15N increased latitude (North to South). Myctophids TP differed between study (highest Central Chile, lowest Peru). Peruvian f...

Chilean basins have long been exposed to nutrient discharges from human activities and land use changes. A historical seasonal NO(3)(-)-N and PO(4)(3-)-P database of the last 23 years of the main nine rivers of central-southern region of Chile was analysed. Generalized additive models indicated that annual trends in NO(3)(-)-N and PO(4)(3-)-P are nonlinear. River basins such as Bío-Bío, Bueno, ...
