Who Holds the Reins of Power in Chaos? Military Involvement and the Emergence of a De Facto State of Exception in Mexico
(Universidad Panamericana, 2025-03-04)
Torres-Checa, Daniel E.
Mexico’s public security has been progressively moving towards militarization for at least eighteen years. The army’s participation, previously reserved for war and exceptional junctures, has normalized. This article critically reviews the military’s role in Mexico’s bloodshed and human rights crisis during the 2006-2024 period. I argue that the ongoing phenomenon has perpetuated the cycle of violence, threatened democratic standards, and severely impacted human rights. In this framework, I question whether the policy of militarization can be placed in the context of a de facto state of exception. My aim, in short, is to assess the ways in which militarization reinforces exceptionality and how they both signal a counter-phenomena to human rights.

Catastrophic Health Spending by COVID-19 in the Mexican Insurance Sector
(Springer, 2024-01-01)
Domínguez-Gutiérrez, Ulises
;
The COVID-19 pandemic that the world has been suffering for 3 years has generated major impacts worldwide, both in public health systems and in the private insurance industry. The high costs of care derived from cases with complications have likewise generated a great impact on the private insurance industry. In the case of Mexico, the mortality rates observed are among the first places, in addition to generating a great impact on private insurance. This work deals with the measurement of the impact of catastrophic expenses derived from COVID-19 in an insurance company; using a set of machine learning models, the key variables in the estimation of patients with potential catastrophic expenses were determined. The results show that the estimated classification model has a positive performance in addition to allowing the identification of the main risk factors of the insured as well as their potentially catastrophic impact on insurance companies.© 2024 Springer Nature

Beliefs that provide a foundation for heuristics and biases in financial decision-making
(Universidad del País Vasco (Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea) UPV/EHU, 2023)
Moya-Ponce, Claudine

Heuristics and biases are the result of intuitive thinking, which is shaped starting from intuitions, feelings, and impressions, which later emerge as beliefs once processed through analytical thinking. In this study, we examine beliefs that provide a foundation for heuristics and biases in financial decision-making through in-depth interviews with 31 upper-class Mexican emerging adults. We found feelings of mistrust that provide a foundation for foreign bias, non-herding behavior and reliance on professional advice, as well as lower-risk investing beliefs that then drive sustainable investing. We also found reflection that their money, in light of their narrative is either saved or invested regardless of its source and that lenders were framed as investors to avoid the shame they associate with borrowing. Implications for future research, educational interventions and providers of financial services are discussed. ©Universidad del País Vasco (en euskera: Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea; UPV/EHU
