      On the strategic choice of spatial price policy: the role of the pricing game rules 

      Aguirre Pérez, Iñaki ORCID; Martín Arroyuelos, Ana María ORCID (2001-02)
      In this paper, whe show that the strategic choice of spatial price policy under duopoly crucially depends on the rules of price competition. Thisse and Vives (1988) show that spatial price discrimination is a dominant ...

      Predicting Betas: Two new methods 

      Esteban González, María Victoria ORCID; Tusell Palmer, Fernando Jorge ORCID (2009)
      Betas play a central role in modern finance. The estimation of betas from historical data and their extrapolation into the future is of considerable practical interest. We propose two new methods: the first is a direct ...

      Product Differentiation with Consumer Arbitrage 

      Aguirre Pérez, Iñaki ORCID; Espinosa Alejos, María Paz ORCID (2003-03)
      We analyze the consequences of consumers behavior concerning personal arbitrage in a spatial discrimination context where firms know the consumers distribution but cannot distinguish them by location. The firms' equilibrium ...

      Una propuesta para el análisis de tablas múltiples 

      Modroño Herrán, Juan Ignacio ORCID; Fernández Aguirre, María Carmen; Landaluce Calvo, M. Isabel (2003-07)
      El análisis de tablas múltiples ha seguido cuatro direcciones básicas: el Análisis Procusteano, la metodología STATIS, el Análisis Factorial Múltiple y el Análisis Canónico Generalizado. Estos métodos, en general, han sido ...

      Quesnay and Leontief on Capital and Income 

      Ormazabal Sánchez, Kepa Mirena ORCID (2002-03)
      I analyze Quesnay's explanation of the "Tableau Economique" of 1766 in order to show that he made a clear distinction between capital and income. In holding this distinction, Quesnay rejected the nowadays currently accepted ...

      Reconstructing Chi-squared Intra-table Distances in the Analysis of a Set of Contingency Tables 

      Zárraga Castro, María Amaya ORCID; Goitisolo Lezama, Beatriz (2007-07)
      To study similarities among the set of rows -and columns- of a contingency table, Correspondence Analysis uses chi-squared distances between row profiles -and column profiles- of that table. This article presents a factor ...
