    (2014-05-14) Montoya-Betancur, E. (Elizabeth); Durán-Ortiz, J. P. (Juan Pablo)
    In 1970 China’s economy exhibited levels of productivity, economic growth, inequality and poverty worse that Latin American economies including Colombia. Forty years later, some estimates suggest that in less than a decade China’s economic growth will surpass United State. Levels of productivity and competitiveness have increased dramatically and social indicators have improved substantially. This document provides an exploratory economic analysis of this phenomenon in three ways: social and cultural differences, differences in the theoretical concepts and some successful policies, analytically and compared with the Colombian economy.

    Información, conocimiento y desarrollo económico
    (2014-05-12) Lochmüller, C. (Christian)
    Production of information and knowledge is booming. Access to and availability of information and knowledge are better than ever before. However, we can observe companies and countries which use existent knowledge more effectively than others. This paper describes the role of information and knowledge in economic theory, discusses the difficulties of transferring knowledge and analyses the fact that in many cases created knowledge does not get introduced to markets. Innovation and entrepreneurship are the missing link that should be strengthened in order to transform knowledge into new products, processes, services, and markets. That is why changes are necessary within companies as well as in the education system in order to apply and commercialize more of the generated knowledge.
