La metodología utilizada es diferente y complementaria de la usada en trabajos anteriores, que imponen consideraciones normativas a esta teoría. Enfocado al proceso emprendedor, analiza los mecanismos que explican las acciones y el alineamiento de los distintos participantes. El argumento principal es que cada grupo de interés actiía motivado tanto por el resultado de sus acciones como por el aprendizaje que genera el proceso en sí mismo. A su vez, ese proceso, como motivación central, provee una identidad individual y colectiva y , en último término, explica el alineamiento de los distintos grupos. Este argumento tiene implicaciones tanto a nivel directivo como normativo.

The purpose was to establish the foundations of Economic Theory only in facts, with philosophical neutrality to all human action theories, and without leaning on any introspective consideration. Despite this, I will show that assumptions — that are not based in facts — are subtly introduced to derive the basic results from Economic Theory. I propose to abandon RPT because it will foster a richer debate on the human action assumptions present in the foundations of Economic Theory.

Unfortunately in the presence of risky debt, it is systematically overestimated. This bias is increasing in leverage and the volatility of cash flows. We show the existence of the bias and assess its size. We finally propose a novel methodology to obtain a direct unbiased estimation of the expected return on assets. This method avoids the computational error that is obtained from the estimation of the individual components.

Because of the greater, and in some cases different, risks associated with emerging markets (although recent experience might suggest otherwise), investors and corporate managers are often uncomfortable using traditional methods. The typical way of capturing emerging-market risks is to increase the discount rate in the
