Title: SOLAR ENERGY AS SOURCE OF REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT: ANALYSIS OF BAJA CALIFORNIA POTENTIAL TO GENERATE SOLAR ENERGY, LA ENERGIA SOLAR COMO PROMOTORA DEL DESARROLLO REGIONAL: ANALISIS DEL POTENCIAL DE GENERACION EN BAJA CALIFORNIA
Abstract: The use of renewable energy is not something new. Before the industrial revolution the wind force, water and the concentration of heat from sun radiation were used as sources of energy. There is currently a renewed push to move towards the use of renewable energy, mainly due to global warming. Baja California is seeking to set the tone on a national level as a green state. This paper looks to identify sites in the state with direct solar radiation potential (DNI) above 6.0, which indicates cost effectiveness. The results document that the rural areas of the cities of Mexicali, Ensenada and Tecate have DNI levels above 7.0 indicating potential areas of renewable energy generation that encourages rural development. Mexico has filed a series of amendments to legislation aimed at encouraging investment in the sector, but there is no clear policy in this context.

Title: NATURAL RESOURCES AND ECONOMIC GROWTH: ANALYZING HUMAN CAPITAL IN MEXICO, RECURSOS NATURALES Y CRECIMIENTO ECONOMICO, ANALIZANDO EL CAPITAL HUMANO EN MEXICO
Abstract: Previous research on the curse of natural resources argues that countries with a wealth of natural resources tend to show slow economic growth compared to countries with fewer natural resources. This paper seeks to answer the questions: What is the relationship between human capital and economic growth? How do natural resources influence economic growth? And, what is the relationship between natural resources and human capital? We use panel data for the period 1993-2003 to analyze the curse of natural resources as it applies to Mexico.

Title: IDENTIFICATION OF COMMON FACTORS IN TACIT KNOWLEDGE TRANSFERENCE WITHIN ORGANIZATIONS, IDENTIFICACION DE FACTORES COMUNES ESTUDIADOS, RELACIONADOS CON LA TRANSFERENCIA DE CONOCIMIENTO TACITO DENTRO DE LAS ORGANIZACIONES
Abstract: Tacit knowledge transference can be used as organizational strategies to support, generate and maintain a sustainable competitive advantage. However, there is no consensus on which process and variables are relevant to a successful and efficient transfer of tacit knowledge. In this study, we review the existing literature to identify variables that are commonly used by other authors. Then, we use an exploratory factor analysis to probe these variables. Results show that previous studies have used three common factors for studying tacit knowledge transfer: those related to individuals; those concerning organizations; and a mixed approach.
