We provide a game-theoretical epidemiological model for the COVID-19 pandemic that takes into account that: (1) asymptomatic individuals can be contagious, (2) contagion is behavior-dependent, (3) behavior is determined by a game that depends on beliefs and social interactions, (4) there can be systematic biases in the perceptions and beliefs about the pandemic. We incorporate lockdown decisions by the government into the model. The citizens’ and government’s beliefs can exhibit several biases that we discuss from the point of view of behavioral economics. We provide simulations to understand the effect of lockdown decisions and the possibility of “nudging” citizens in the right direction by improving the accuracy of their beliefs.
Las pensiones tienen como objetivo asegurar, mediante una retribución de carácter pecuniario, el mantenimiento de un nivel de vida digno en la etapa de retiro. Sin embargo, las de tipo contri- butivo se ven afectadas por las desigualdades entre hombres y mujeres que se van acumulando a lo largo de la vida laboral, dando como resultado otra inequidad: la brecha de género en las pensiones. Este trabajo pretende identificar los factores que inciden en esta diferencia, motivada por la menor implicación de la mujer en el mercado laboral, que se manifiesta tanto en una menor participación femenina en la fuerza de trabajo como en una elevada presencia de este colectivo en el empleo a tiempo parcial y la consiguiente mayor propensión a la intermitencia en la vida laboral de la mujer.
