Espitia-González, Yeidi Liseth; Sierra-Cuervo, Brayan Stiven; Angulo-Pico, Grace Margarita
The objective is to analyze the determinants of macroeconomic success of the emerging economies that are members of the blocs to which Colombia belongs (CIVETS, AP, CAN), within the framework of a comparison with the BRICS. To do this, the macroeconomic variables that affect the success of the economies were identified, in order to characterize the trend of these in the most successful economies of the blocs, in parallel with Colombia, in the light of the BRICS. The methodology is of mixed scope, since theories of endogenous economic growth, economic integration, international relations and international trade approaches are analyzed. The variables include: population, GDP, GDP per capita, foreign direct investment (FDI), inflation, trade balance and country risk. The results show that countries such as Colombia, Mexico, Chile, Peru and South Africa have benefited from the blocs to which they belong, managing to stand out in some variables compared to previous years; hand in hand with policies and measures they have taken to avoid being affected by instabilities. On the other hand, inflation, exchange rate and population growth are factors that influence GDP per capita; solid institutions and growth models that facilitate productivity and commercial stability support these results.

Enfoques microeconómico y psicosociológico del comportamiento del consumidor: una revisión de literatura inicial
Mercado-Mejía, Menis; Angulo-Pico, Grace Margarita; Sello Editorial Universitario Americana
El presente documento desarrolló como objetivo principal, analizar los enfoques microeconómicos y psicosociológicos del comportamiento del consumidor a partir de la revisión de literatura inicial, cuya sistematización realizó a partir de la caracterización de dichos enfoques, la identificación de puntos de encuentro entre ambos y una sucinta descripción de las nuevas corrientes de análisis del comportamiento del consumidor. Este objetivo fue logrado luego del desarrollo de cuatro etapas básicas para revisiones de literatura como lo fueron: la formulación de preguntas modulares, la selección de bases de datos bibliográficas virtuales, la definición de ecuaciones de búsqueda y de criterios de inclusión y de exclusión de documentos. Entre los elementos más destacables de esta revisión se encontró la existencia de mayores puntos de contraposición entre los enfoques microeconómico y psicosociológico sobre el estudio del comportamiento del consumidor, sin embargo, en años recientes se le ha dado preponderancia al desarrollo de estudios mixtos que integren ambos enfoques.
