The new classical school's dominance of mainstream economic thought in recent years has brought with it the associated adoption of rational economic agents ( in the Muthian sense) by mainstream economists. This thesis challenges this underlying assumption of human behaviour in the context of the non-durable consumption expenditure decision making process. In doing so, our attention will be placed upon the weak or more general form of the hypothesis, which has come to be known as optimisation. We employ a behavioural methodology in an attempt to ascertain if individuals adhere to the optimising or satisficing model of human behaviour. In doing so time will be spent examining the bounded rationality hypothesis. We also employ a behavioural methodology in producing a non-durable consumption function that is econometrically comparable with an optimising model of non-durable consumption expenditure (namely the permanent income rational expectations hypothesis). The micro results produced in this thesis suggest that the respondents surveyed from non-durable consumption expenditure decisions that are sub-optimal in nature. The formation of these sub-tropical expenditure decisions appear to be a consequence of the cognitive constraints faced by our respondents, which in turn provides empirical support for the bounded rationality hypothesis. On a macro level, our behavioural consumption function generates results that are comparable with those produced by the optimising model employed in this thesis. Our results also question the rational expectations permanent income hypothesis (as it is usually applied), despite making adjustments to the model which remove the underlying assumption of known, constant real interest use / Master of Commerce (Hons)

Incorporate in business administration from the management model of economic value, implies that the direction of the entity should worry about how to run effectively in this economic value and how to achieve an equitable distribution of this value created, which requires understanding the nature of this economic value and the importance of the firm as an essential economic activity. In this context arose three approaches that are directly related to the firm and its capacity to create economic value, such as economic agents involved in it, or understand how to shape the firmand the relationship between the real market and the financial market. In this vein, the purpose of this article is tolay the ground work for supporting the economic value and the considerations that management should keep in mind when it comes to managing it. / Incorporar en la administración de empresas el modelo de gestión del valor económico implica que la dirección de la entidad debe preocuparse de forma eficaz en la generación de este valor económico y en su distribución equitativa, lo cual obliga a comprender su naturaleza y la importancia de la empresa como ente fundamental de la actividad económica. En este contexto, surgen tres planteamientos que están directamente relacionados con la empresa y su capacidad para crear valor económico: los agentes económicos involucrados en la misma, la forma de entender o modelar la empresa y la relación entre el mercado real y el mercado financiero. En este orden, el objetivo de este artículo es establecer las bases en las que se sustenta este valor y las consideraciones que la dirección debe tener presente para gestionarlo.

Within a new context, the emergence of land grabbing has been observed that, in an international perspective, has preoccupied the society and has taken an interest in studies to attain its knowledge. Its existence is visible in the world, because of globalization and the principle of free movement of capital that is inherent. It occurs in countries of Africa, South America and Asia, but also, in particular, in the countries of the European Union. It is emphasized that its concept is still indeterminate and perhaps justified by the fact that researchers have not clearly achieved their forms of manifestation, causes and consequences, given that it is a recent phenomenon. It is a vertiginous race for acquisition and concentration of land, which have been intensified after a world food crisis and the subprime crisis. A central hypothesis that was sought to prove is the land grabbing is a fundamentally economic phenomenon, characterized by the accentuated accumulation, appropriation and exploitation of land, diverging from the dominant thesis that consists of a neocolonial, ideological and geographical view. A philosophical and historical examination of neocolonialism will be made, as well as a Weberian Analysis, through the relation between the law and the capitalist economy, regarding the restrictions and concessions that the legal system provides to the economic agents practicing land grabbing. Firstly, it was sought to understand it, by analyzing its emergence and its places of occurrence, with the score of its characteristics, and then to reach what is the basis of its manifestation. In a second moment, a reconstruction of the vision of the phenomenon is created, starting from its realization in the European States, through the demonstration of concrete cases, by means of bibliographical research, in which it is pointed out, in this way, the main causes, which are directly related to an economic substrate of financial interests of public or private agents, internal or external to the countries in which they occur. / As concepções de terra e território passaram por uma reconfiguração de significado no Direito Agrário Contemporâneo. Dentro deste novo contexto observa-se o surgimento do land grabbing, que em uma perspectiva internacional, tem preocupado a sociedade e ensejado em estudos para almejar seu conhecimento. Sua existência é visível no mundo, em razão da globalização e do princípio de livre circulação de capitais que lhe é inerente. Ocorre nos países da África, América do Sul e Ásia, mas também, com destaque, em países membros da União Europeia. Ressalta-se que seu conceito ainda é indeterminado e, talvez, se justifica pelo fato de os estudiosos não terem alcançado, com clareza, suas formas de manifestação, causas e consequências, tendo em vista que é um fenômeno recente. Trata-se de uma vertiginosa corrida por aquisição e concentração de terras, que se intensificou após a crise mundial de alimentos e a crise do subprime. A hipótese central que se buscou comprovar, é que o land grabbing é um fenômeno fundamentalmente econômico, caracterizado pela acentuada acumulação, apropriação e exploração de terras, divergindo da tese dominante que consiste em uma visão neocolonial, ideológica e geográfica. Far-se-á um exame filosófico e histórico do neocolonialismo, bem como uma análise weberiana, por meio da relação entre direito e economia capitalista, no que tange às restrições e concessões que o sistema jurídico proporciona aos agentes econômicos praticantes do land grabbing. Primeiramente, busca-se entendê-lo, mediante análise de seu surgimento e de seus lugares de ocorrência, com pontuação de suas características, para então alcançar o que fundamenta sua manifestação. Em um segundo momento, cria-se uma reconstrução da visão do fenômeno, tendo como ponto de partida sua realização nos Estados Europeus, por meio da demonstração de casos concretos, por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica, em que se assinala, desta forma, as principais causas, as quais estão diretamente relacionadas a um substrato econômico, de interesses financeiros de agentes públicos ou privados, internos ou externos aos países em que ocorrem.
