From bilateral two-way to unilateral one-way flow link-formation
Olaizola Ortega, María Norma
; Valenciano Llovera, Federico (Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, 2014-11-26)
We provide a model that bridges de gap between the simplest variation of two benchmark models of strategic network formation: Bala and Goyal s one-way ow model without decay, where links can be unilaterally formed, and a ... -
Games with perceptions
Iñarra García, María Elena; Laruelle, Annick ; (Deparamento de fundamentos del análisis económico I, 2012-10-23)
We assume that 2 x 2 matrix games are publicly known and that players perceive a dichotomous characteristic on their opponents which defines two types for each player. In turn, each type has beliefs concerning her opponent's ... -
Ghost seats in the Basque Parliament
Ibarzabal Laka, Nora; Laruelle, Annick (Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, UPV/EHU, 2015-04-24)
In elections voters have generally four options: to abstain, to cast a blank vote, to cast a null vote, or to vote for a candidate or party. This last option is a positive expression of support, while the other three options ... -
Income risk of EU coal-fired power plants after Kyoto
Abadie, Luis María; Chamorro Gómez, José Manuel (2008-10)
Coal-fired power plants may enjoy a significant advantage relative to gas plants in terms of cheaper fuel cost. Still, this advantage may erode or even turn into disadvantage depending on CO2 emission allowance price. This ... -
Information, stability and dynamics in networks under institutional constraints
Olaizola Ortega, María Norma; Valenciano Llovera, Federico (2010-07)
In this paper we study the effects of institutional constraints on stability, efficiency and network formation. More precisely, an exogenous "societal cover" consisting of a collection of possibly overlapping subsets that ... -
Internal Organization of Firms and Cartel Formation
Kuipers, Jerome; Olaizola Ortega, María Norma (2004-12)
We introduce and characterize a new solution concept for TU games. The new soluction is called SD-prenucleolus and is a lexicographic value although is not a weighted prenucleolus. The SD-prenucleolus satisfies several ... -
International and Intergenerational Dimensions of Climate Change: North-South Cooperation in an Overlapping Generations Framework
Ansuategui Cobo, José Alberto; Escapa García, Marta ; Pérez, Azucena (2003-12)
Global environmental problems such as climate change have both an international and an intertemporal dimension. Recently, some papers have used an overlapping generations framework to analyze the climate change problem ... -
Learning in Network Games
Kovarik, Jaromir; Mengel, Friederike; Romero, José Gabriel (Departamento de Fundamentos dle Análisis Económico I, 2012-11-23)
We report the findings of an experiment designed to study how people learn and make decisions in network games. Network games offer new opportunities to identify learning rules, since on networks (compared to e.g. random ... -
Long-Term Growth and Persistence with Endogenous Depreciation: Theory and Evidence
Barañano Mentxaka, Ilaski; Romero-Avila, Diego (Departamento de Fundamentos dle Análisis Económico I, 2013)
Previous research has shown a strong positive correlation between short-term persistence and long-term output growth as well as between depreciation rates and long-term output growth. This evidence, therefore, contradicts ... -
Majoritarian Contests with Asymmetric Battlefields: An Experiment
(Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, UPV/EHU, 2013-12)We investigate a version of the classic Colonel Blotto game in which individual battles may have different values. Two players allocate a fixed budget across battlefields and each battlefield is won by the player who ... -
Minority Language and the Stability of Bilingual Equilibria
Iriberri Etxebeste, Nagore; Uriarte Ayo, José Ramón (2011)
We investigate a society with two official languages: A, shared by all individuals and B, spoken by a bilingual mirority. Thus, it is only B that needs t increase its population share, and therefore, only the language ... -
Monte Carlo Valuation of natural gas investments
Abadie, Luis María; Chamorro Gómez, José Manuel (2006-07)
This paper deals with the valuation of energy assets related to natural gas. In particular, we evaluate a baseload Natural Gas Combined Cycle (NGCC) power plant and an ancillary instalation, namely a Liquefied Natural Gas ... -
Network formation under institutional constraints
Olaizola Ortega, María Norma; Valenciano Llovera, Federico (2011-05)
We study the effects of institutional constraints on stability, efficiency and network formation. An exogenous "societal cover" consisting of a collection of possibly overlapping subsets covering the set of players specifies ... -
Political Institutions, Technology and Growth: a dynamic panel approach
(Departamento Fundamentos del Ánálisis Económico I UPV/EHU, 2015-10)This paper investigates whether the effect of political institutions on sectoral economic performance is determined by the level of technological development of industries. Building on previous studies on the linkages among ... -
Quaternary dichotomous voting rules
Laruelle, Annick; Valenciano Llovera, Federico (2010-01)
In this paper we provide a general model of "quaternary" dichotomous voting rules (QVRs), namely, voting rules for making collective dichotomous decisions (to accept or reject a proposal), based on vote profiles in which ... -
Rationing Rules and Stable Coalition Structures
Gallo Fernández, Oihane; Iñarra García, María Elena (Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, UPV/EHU, 2016-10-05)
We consider a coalition formation model in which agents have the possibility of forming part of several coalitions but are limited to participate in only one of them. Coalitions of agents produce outputs to be distributed ... -
The coincidence of the kernel and nucleolus of a convex game: an alternative proof
(2013)In 1972, Maschler, Peleg and Shapley proved that in the class of convex the nucleolus and the kernel coincide. The only aim of this note is to provide a shorter, alternative proof of this result. -
The Economics of "Why is it so hard to save a threatened Language?"
Sperlich, Stefan; Uriarte Ayo, José Ramón (Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, UPV/EHU, 2014-02)
We study the language choice behavior of bilingual speakers in modern societies, such as the Basque Country, Ireland andWales. These countries have two o cial languages:A, spoken by all, and B, spoken by a minority. We ... -
The impact of liberalizing cost-saharing on basic models of network formation
Olaizola Ortega, María Norma; Valenciano Llovera, Federico (Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, UPV/EHU, 2015-09-12)
This paper studies the impact of "liberalizing " the cost-sharing of links on some basic models of network formation. This is done in a setting where both doubly supported and singly supported links are possible, and which ... -
The SD-prekernel for TU games
(Departamento Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, 2016-03-14)We introduce and analyze a new solution concept for TU games:The Surplus Distributor Prekernel. Like the prekermel, the new solu- tion is based on the an alternative motion of complaint of one player against other with ...
