• New paper accepted!! Last week, our article, "Evaluating player relevance in football teams through cooperative game theory", was accepted for publication in Scientific Reports.

You can read it here, it's open access: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-026-50405-5 

• Thrilled to share that our new article has just been published! 😃😃 In this paper, we explore how public and private desalination firms would interact in a duopoly setting, motivated by the Chilean context. We analyze how these firms allocate water between residential and mining sectors, under government influence through subsidies and production requirements.
