The purpose of this paper is to analyze the behavior of the housing cycle, through the factors that influenced the evolution of house prices and contributed to its overvaluation in Spain, USA and UK. To accomplish this, on one side an asset pricing model is applied to estimate the price of earnings ratio for quantifying the overvaluation and undervaluation levels of housing prices based on its deviations from bonds and its historical values, in order to identify the risk level in housing markets. On the other, a macroeconomic model is considered for identifying the demand factors influence in prices evolution. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Between July of 1891 and May 1892, the Mexican Land and Colonization Company, a British enterprise with a concession over the major part of Baja California's wastelands, laid 27 kilometers of rail of what was to be known as the Peninsular Railway with the expectation of opening up lands to cultivation and settlement, and attracting investment. But the train's starting point was San Quintin, a shallow bay ill-suited to becoming an important shipping port and, as far as the tracks had been built, led to nowhere. However, the objective of this paper is not to analyze the reasons for which the railway project did not come to a happy termination. Rather, it focuses on the controversies and conspiracies which surrounded its construction, arising from the struggle between the United States and Great Britain for predominance in Mexico's far northwest.

Objective: To compare the educational philosophy, structure and contents of psychoanalytic training institutions, members of the I.P.A., which correspondence to a five geographic areas so their similarities and differences could be establish. Development: This comparison was able to be established from the information provided to the author, by those responsible for analytic training in each one of the institutes studied: Britain, France, USA, Uruguay, and Colombia. Conclusions: It was determinate that there are differences in the process of the psychoanalytical training. This differences are in previous requirements, duration of the training, structure, sequence, contends, minimum number of sessions admitted to performance a psychoanalytical cure, analyzed one's self and to analyze; as well as the function or status to be a didactic analyst. However, there is a basic common ground: The Eitingon triangle (personal analysis for the training, a supervised clinical paper and theories and clinical seminars). It concludes that this common denominator that prevails on every institute mentioned, permits the education of an autonomous analyst and one`s own construction of psychoanalytical identity, in spite of theories, cultural and geographic differences.

Just a little time ago, the economic impact deriving from crime within organisational business settings was not a matter of study, at least of a rigorous and systematic one. No doubt, the increasing interest for quantifying employee crime economic costs, particularly in American and British national economies, has promoted criminological research on criminality within business organisations. In this paper, a portrait of employee crime and other deviant conducts perpetrated within a company in a particular way arises because of the context. For defining crime prevention and control strategies in this field it is crucial to get radical knowledge on employee crime phenomenology; the relations between occupational profile and crime profile; and the situational factors that may facilitate the appearance of crime within organisational settings.
