DIFFERENT LEGISLATIONS REGARDING OPAs

An analysis was made of then effect of the Tender Offer Law in Chile, and of the related situation of five countries with a more developed market than the Chilean one, reaching the conclusion that in order to successfully implement a Tender Offer Law it is necessary to bear in mind that the problem is not solved by establishing standards that regulate transactions, but by creating instances that contribute to a more dynamic and efficient market. In addition, there should exist a balance between protection of the minority stockholder and competition for corporate control. Finally, we can conclude that there is evidence that the Tender Offer Law has depressed the Stock Exchange.

UPDATING BELIEFS: ARE ECONOMIC AGENTS INSPIRED BY RATIONAL ACTION OR ACCORDING TO ONES HOPES AND FEARS?

The purpose of this investigation was to simulate a real life scenario and explore the way economic agents update their beliefs. Do they update according to what they hope? Or do they update inspired by rational behavior? We mimicked the environment which a recently high school graduate faces when entering college to see how a student updates his beliefs in regards to his classroom position. We examined how economic agents envisage themselves through and through college and see if they update their beliefs about a hypothesis A in the light of new evidence B, or if they update their beliefs subject to what they choose they hope. In this sense we explored the possibility of setting aside the neoclassical assumption that agents are anything more than hyper rational naïve optimizers acting on perfect (and in some cases, limited information) in order to turn back to an older tradition in economic theory, that is agents are recognizably human.
