La econometría es un conjunto de métodos estadísticos inferenciales para el tratamiento cuantitativo de la información económica; esta sirve de apoyo a gran parte de las disertaciones llevadas a cabo en campos especiales de la economía y los negocios. En este sentido, este libro presenta los fundamentos intermedios de esta área de estudio para estudiantes y distintos profesionales que tengan un conocimiento previo de los temas tratados en econometría básica, como son: métodos y supuestos para estimar los parámetros de un modelo (mínimos cuadrados ordinarios [MCO] y máxima verosimilitud), aspectos fundamentales de una regresión simple y múltiple, pruebas de hipótesis (individuales y globales), características de los estimadores (insesgados, consistentes y e cientes), métodos de detección y corrección del incumplimiento de algunos supuestos de MCO (homoscedasticidad, ausencia de multicolinealidad y autocorrelación residual).Asimismo vale la pena destacar que uno de los aportes más importantes del libro es la presentación teórico-práctica con información real y ejemplos aplicados, los cuales fueron efectuados, paso a paso, con el programa econométrico especializado Stata®.

This book presents high-quality, peer-reviewed papers from the International Conference in Information Technology & Education (ICITED 2023), to be held at the Nilton Lins University, Manaus, Brazil, during June 29–30, 2023. The book covers a specific field of knowledge. This intends to cover not only two fields of knowledge—Education and Technology—but also the interaction among them and the impact/result in the job market and organizations. It covers the research and pedagogic component of Education and Information Technologies but also the connection with Society, addressing the three pillars of higher education. The book addresses impact of pandemic on education and use of technology in education. Finally, it also encourages companies to present their professional cases which will be discussed. These can constitute real examples of how companies are overcoming their challenges with the uncertainty of the market.

Much of our understanding of local economic development is based on large urban agglomerations as nodes of innovation and competitive advantage, connecting territories to global value chains. However, this framework cannot so easily be applied to peripheral regions and secondary cities in either the Global South or the North. This book proposes an alternative way of looking at local economic development based on the idea of fragile governance and three variables: associations and networks; learning processes; and leadership and conflict management in six Latin American peripheral regions. The case studies illustrate the challenges of governance in small and intermediate cities in Latin America, and showcase strategies that are being used to achieve a more resilient and territorial vision of local economic development. This book will be of interest to students and researchers of local economic development, urban and regional studies, and political economy in Latin America as well as to policy-makers and practitioners interested in local and regional economic development policy.

Survival data consist of a single event for each population unit, namely, end of life, which is modeled with a life distribution. However, many applications involve repeated-events data, where a unit may accumulate numerous events over time. This applied book provides practitioners with basic nonparametric methods for such data.

This highlights ongoing research efforts on different aspects of polymer nanocomposites and explores their potentials to exhibit multi-functional properties. In this context, it addresses both fundamental and advanced concepts, while delineating the parameters and mechanisms responsible for these potentials. Aspects considered include embrittlement/toughness; wear/scratch behaviour; thermal stability and flame retardancy; barrier, electrical and thermal conductivity; and optical and magnetic properties. Further, the book was written as a coherent unit rather than a collection of chapters on different topics. As such, the results, analyses and discussions presented herein provide a guide for the development of a new class of multi-functional nanocomposites. Offering an invaluable resource for materials researchers and postgraduate students in the polymer composites field, they will also greatly benefit materials
