Non-Stationary Demand in a Durable Goods Monopoly
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2006-01)
In a context where demand for the services of a durable good changes over time, and this change may be uncertain, the paper shows that social welfare may be higher when the monopolist seller can commit to any future price ...
Entry into motherhood: The effect of wages
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2007-04)
Using the ECHP, we explored the determinants of having the first child in Spain. Our main goal was to study the relation between female wages and the decision to enter motherhood. Since the offered wage of non-working women ...
Vertical Differentiation and Entry Deterrence: A Reconsideration
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2005-01)
In this work we emphasize why market coverage should be considered endogenous for a correct analysis of entry deterrence in vertical differentiation models and discuss the implications of this endogeneity for that analysis. ...
Experimental Economics Meets Language Choice
(Departamento de Fundamentos del Ánálisis Económico I, 2014-10-08)
Roughly one half of World's languages are in danger of extinction. The endangered languages, spoken by minorities, typically compete with powerful languages such as En-
glish or Spanish. Consequently, the speakers of ...
From bilateral two-way to unilateral one-way flow link-formation
(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 ...
Quaternary dichotomous voting rules
(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 ...
Asymmetric flow networks
(Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, UPV-EHU, 2012-06-22)
This paper provides a new model of network formation that bridges the gap
between the two benchmark models by Bala and Goyal, the one-way flow model,
and the two-way flow model, and includes both as particular extreme ...
A Unifying model of strategic network formation
(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 ...
Efficiency vs. Stability in a Mixed Network Formation Model
(Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, 2015-03-26)
The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, the incomplete results relative to effciency in a transitional model introduced in a previous paper, distinguishing two types of links, strong or doubly-supported and weak or ...
A Marginalist Model of Network Formation
(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 ...
