Este lunes se anunció la creación del Consorcio Genomas CoV2, una instancia que estará coordinada por el Ministerio de Ciencia e integrará a universidades y Centros de Excelencia, con el fin de crear una base de datos con secuencias del virus Covid-19 que se ha desarrollado en diferentes ciudades del país, para así conocer su evolución y poder desarrollar mejores test diagnósticos y posibles terapias.

Sobre la inclusión y participación de la Universidad Mayor en este grupo científico, el vicerrector de Investigación, Dr. Patricio Manque, valoró el reconocimiento y comentó que "hace 10 años fuimos una de las universidades pioneras en crear un Centro de Genómica en Chile, lo que hoy nos permite colaborar con todos nuestros equipos que trabajan en el área de genómica, bioinformática, modelamiento y epidemiología y salud pública. Estamos generando grandes esfuerzos para poder contribuir a combatir esta crisis”.

Asimismo, explicó que "lo que se pretende es conocer la secuencia genómica de las distintas variantes del SARS-CoV-2 que hay en el país y entender cómo las variaciones genéticas que se van desarrollando en el virus impactan el desarrollo de la pandemia". 

Es que según cifras entregadas durante el lanzamiento del Consorcio Genomas CoV2, a la fecha se han detectado 5.615 variaciones en los más de 16.000 genomas secuenciados a nivel mundial.

Por ello, el Vicerrector agregó que "tener esta información también nos permite optimizar, si es necesario, los test diagnóstico que se están realizando o desarrollar nuevos, si es que observáramos que estas variaciones genéticas que se van acumulando llevan a cambios fenotípicos en el virus". 

Además, agregó que "esta herramienta de la trazabilidad ayudará a entender la infección y cómo se está comportando en el espacio y en el tiempo, para así saber si el virus que hoy circula es el mismo de un comienzo. Esto, en un futuro, nos permitiría mejorar el desarrollo de vacunas”.

El Consorcio Genomas CoV2 además está integrado por las universidades de Chile (UCH), Católica (PUC), Andrés Bello (UNAB) y de Valparaiso (UV); el Centro de Regulación del Genoma, el Centro de Modelamiento Matemático, el Instituto Milenio IBIO y la "Iniciativa 1.000 Genomas".

La Dra. Alejandra Vásquez, del Centro de Economía y Políticas Sociales U.

El trabajo fue recientemente aceptado por la revista Journal Theory and Decision.

“Vote-With-the-Wallet Game" o “El Voto con la Billetera” es el concepto por el cual las personas orientan su consumo no solo hacia el precio y calidad del producto, sino que también a la responsabilidad social y ambiental con que son producidas las mercancías.

“Los ciudadanos ejercen un 'voto' al elegir productos de una empresa que es ambiental, social y fiscalmente sustentable”, comenta sobre este concepto la investigadora Dra. Alejandra Vásquez, académica del Centro de Economía y Políticas Sociales de la Universidad Mayor, quien acaba de publicar una investigación que tiene como eje a este concepto, y que recientemente fue aceptada como artículo en la prestigiosa revista Journal Theory and Decision.

Es que su trabajo "Empathy in Socially Responsible Consumption: An Experimental Investigation Using the Vote-With-the-Wallet Game" tiene como punto central el cómo se comportan los consumidores cuando tienen que elegir entre productos: unos producidos en “modo convencional” y otros de manera socialmente responsable, con un costo más alto, pero que produce beneficios o externalidad positivas en la sociedad.

"Por ejemplo, que provengan de empresas fiscalmente responsables, que no eluden impuestos; de emprendedores que han creado valor económico, que han sido competitivos y que han creado sostenibilidad social y ambiental”, sostiene la Dra. Vásquez.

 

Algunos resultados

El artículo se sostiene con datos recopilados durante un experimento de laboratorio realizado por el Behavioral Economics Research Group (BERG) de la Universidad de Cagliari (Italia), en el que 180 voluntarios tomaron decisiones de compra de productos en que el precio era proporcional a la responsabilidad social asociada a ellos. Así por ejemplo, los más costosos tenían menor impacto ambiental o estaban vinculados a acciones redistributivas.

 

Sobre los resultados, la académica del Centro de Economía y Políticas Sociales destacó: “En un escenario neutral, los participantes muestran el mismo comportamiento entre ellos respecto a qué tipo de productos adquirir. Sin embargo, cuando aplicamos un mecanismo de política de redistribución, observamos que los participantes que registran altos niveles de empatía tienden a elegir el producto socialmente responsable con mayor frecuencia”.

Acerca de las conclusiones, la Dra. Vásquez afirma que “este estudio busca re-plantear las decisiones de los consumidores en distintos escenarios, indicando a los productores en que no solo los precios son una variable de interés para los consumidores, sino que el modo en el cual se produce es una variable de interés al momento de tomar una decisión de consumo”.

Y agrega, por último, que este es un “trabajo que da luces a los hacedores de políticas y a quienes regulan los mercados, sugiriendo que sería válido incentivar modos de producción ética y que puedan ir contribuyendo a crear un Estado de Bienestar”.
