The importance of west verging structures at the
western flank of the Andes, parallel to the subduction
zone, appears currently minimized. This hampers our
understanding of the Andes‐Altiplano, one of the most
significant mountain belts on Earth. We analyze a key
tectonic section of the Andes at latitude 33.5°S, where
the belt is in an early stage of its evolution, with the
aim of resolving the primary architecture of the orogen.
We focus on the active fault propagation–fold system in
the Andean cover behind the San Ramón Fault, which is
critical for the seismic hazard in the city of Santiago and
crucial to decipher the structure of the West Andean
Thrust (WAT). The San Ramón Fault is a thrust ramp
at the front of a basal detachment with average slip rate
of ∼0.4 mm/yr. Young scarps at various scales imply
plausible seismic events up to Mw 7.4. The WAT steps
down eastward from the San Ramón Fault, crossing
12 km of Andean cover to root beneath the Frontal
Cordillera basement anticline, a range ∼5 km high and
>700 km long. We propose a first‐order tectonic model
of the Andes involving an embryonic intracontinental
subduction consistent with geological and geophysical
observations. The stage of primary westward vergence
with dominance of the WAT at 33.5°S is evolving into
a doubly vergent configuration. A growth model for
the WAT‐Altiplano similar to the Himalaya‐Tibet is
deduced.Wesuggest that the intracontinental subduction
at theWAT is amechanical substitute of a collision zone,
rendering the Andean orogeny paradigm obsolete.Our work has been supported by the binational

This article proposed and tested a multilevel and interactional model of individual innovation in which
weekly moods represent a core construct between context, personality, and innovative work behavior.
Adopting the circumplex model of affect, innovative work behavior is proposed as resulting from weekly
positive and high-activated mood. Furthermore, drawing on the Big Five model of personality and cognitive
appraisal theory, openness to experience and support for innovation are proposed as individual and contextual
variables, respectively, which interplay in this process. Openness to experience interacts with support for
innovation leading to high-activated positive mood. Furthermore, openness interacts with these feelings
leading to greater levels of innovative work behavior. Overall, the model entails a moderated mediation
process where weekly high-activated positive mood represents a crucial variable for transforming contextual
and individual resources into innovative outcomes. These propositions were tested and supported using a diary
methodology and multilevel structural equation modeling, on the basis of 893 observations of innovative work
behavior and moods nested in 10 weekly waves of data. This information was collected from 92 individuals of
diverse occupations employed in 73 distinct companies. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.Artículo de publicación SCOPU
Many decisions are interactive; the outcome of one party depends not only on its decisions or on acts of nature but also on the decisions of others. In the present article, we review the literature on decision making made by groups of the past 25 years. Researchers have compared the strategic behavior of groups and individuals in many games: prisoner's dilemma, dictator, ultimatum, trust, centipede and principal-agent games, among others. Our review suggests that results are quite consistent in revealing that groups behave closer to the game-theoretical assumption of rationality and selfishness than individuals. We conclude by discussing future research avenues in this area. JEL-Code: C910, C920.
