      A Behavioral Foundation for Models of Evolutionary Drift 

      Uriarte Ayo, José Ramón ORCID (2005-07)
      Binmore and Samuelson (1999) have shown that perturbations (drift) are crucial to study the stability properties of Nash equilibria. We contribute to this literature by providing a behavioural foundation for models of ...

      A Behavioural Model of Minority Language Shift: Theory and Empirical Evidence 

      Uriarte Ayo, José Ramón ORCID; Sperlich, Stefan (Public Library Of Science, 2021-06-04)
      Natural languages with their speech communities tend to compete for speakers, very much like firms compete for market shares. As a result, some languages suffer a shifting pressure which might lead them to their extinction. ...

      A Fundamental Contradiction in Keynes' Conception of Income 

      Ormazabal Sánchez, Kepa Mirena ORCID (2003-02)
      I contend that Keynes provides two contradictory definitions of aggregate income. According to the first definition, which is the dominant in Keynes as well as the standard in current Macroeconomics, the full value of ...

      A Marginalist Model of Network Formation 

      Olaizola Ortega, María Norma ORCID; Valenciano Llovera, Federico ORCID (Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, UPV/EHU, 2016-08-18)
      We develop a network-formation model where the quality of a link depends on the amount invested in it and is determined by a link-formation "technology" , an increasing strictly concave function which is the only exogenous ...

      A Model of Evolutionay Drift 

      Uriarte Ayo, José Ramón ORCID (2003-02)
      Drift appears to be crucial to study the stability properties of Nash equilibria in a component specifying different out-of-equilibrium behaviour. We propose a new microeconomic model of drift to be added to the learning ...

      A monotonic core concept for convex games: The SD-prenucleolus 

      Arin Aguirre, Francisco Javier; Katsev, Ilya (Departamento de Fundamentos dle Análisis Económico I, 2013-02-26)
      We prove that the SD-prenucleolus satisfies monotonicity in the class of convex games. The SD-prenucleolus is thus the only known continuous core concept that satisfies monotonicity for convex games. We also prove that for ...

      A new solution for the roommate problem: The Q-stable matchings 

      Biró, Péter; Iñarra García, María Elena ORCID; Molis Bañales, Elena (Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, 2014-09-16)
      The aim of this paper is to propose a new solution for the roommate problem with strict preferences. We introduce the solution of maximum irreversibility and consider almost stable matchings (Abraham et al. [2])and maximum ...

      A noncooperative view on two consistent aiport cost sharing rules 

      Arin Aguirre, Francisco Javier; Iñarra García, María Elena ORCID; Luquin, Paloma (2006-07)
      This paper provides a noncooperative understanding of the nucleolus and the egalitarian allocation for airport cost problems. We find that every Nash equilibrium of the noncooperative game has the nucleolus as outcome while ...

      A Unifying model of strategic network formation 

      Olaizola Ortega, María Norma ORCID; Valenciano Llovera, Federico ORCID (Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, UPV/EHU, 2015-02-17)
      We provide a model that merges two basic models of strategic network formation and incorporates them as extreme cases: Jackson and Wolinsky' s connections model based on bilateral formation of links, and Bala and Goyal' s ...

      Absorbing Sets in Coalitional Systems 

      Iñarra García, María Elena ORCID; Kuipers, Jerome; Olaizola Ortega, María Norma ORCID (2001-12)
      The purpose of this paper is twofold: First, to present an approach and a solution for analyzing the stability of coalition structures: We define a coalitional system (a set and a binary relation on that set) that explains ...
