An axiomatization of success
Albizuri Irigoyen, Miren Iosune; Laruelle, Annick (2011)
In this paper we give an axiomatic characterization of three families of measures of success defined by Laruelle and Valenciano (2005) for voting rules. -
Approximate knowledge of rationality and correlated equilibria
(Departamento de fundamentos del análisis económico I, 2012-07-16)We extend Aumann's [3] theorem deriving correlated equilibria as a consequence of common priors and common knowledge of rationality by explicitly allowing for non-rational behavior. We replace the assumption of common ... -

Ormazabal Sánchez, Kepa Mirena (Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, UPV/EHU, 2017)
The question discussed in this paper is whether a political society not emancipated from labor can be a free society. In a less abstract way, the question can be posed as follows; can a society with a laboring class and a ... -
Asymmetric flow networks
Olaizola Ortega, María Norma; Valenciano Llovera, Federico (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 ... -
Characterization of efficient networks in a generalized connections model with endogenous link strength
Olaizola Ortega, María Norma; Valenciano Llovera, Federico (Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, UPV/EHU, 2019-05-09)
We consider a natural generalization of Jackson and Wolinsky s (1996) connections model where the quality or strength of a link depends on the amount invested in it and is determined by a non-decreasing function of that ... -
Choice of Flexible Production Technologies Under Strategic Delegation
; Olaizola Ortega, María Norma (2004-09)
This work analyzes a managerial delegation model in which firms can choose between a flexible production technology which allows them to produce two different products and a dedicated production technology which limits ... -
Coalitional games with veto players: Myopic and farsighted behavior
(Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, 2013-10-10)This paper studies an allocation procedure for coalitional games with veto players. The procedure is similar to the one presented by Dagan et al. (1997) for bankruptcy problems. According to it, a player, the proposer, ... -
Consumption and portfolio rules whit stochastic hyperbolic discounting
(Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, 2013-09)We extend the classic Merton (1969, 1971) problem that investigates the joint consumption-savings and portfolio-selection problem under capital risk by assuming sophisticated but time-inconsistent agents. We introduce ... -
Cost-Saving production technologies and strategic delegation
; Olaizola Ortega, María Norma (2004-02)
This work analyzes a managerial delegation model in which firms that produce a differentiated good can choose between two production technologies: a low marginal cost technology and a high marginal cost technology. For ... -
Countervailing incentives in adverse selection models. A synthesis
Aguirre Pérez, Iñaki; Beitia Ruiz de Mendarozqueta, María Aranzazu (Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, UPV/EHU, 2014-12)
In this paper we propose a simple method of characterizing countervailing incentives in adverse selection problems. The key element in our characterization consists of analyzing properties of the full information problem. ... -

Discriminating by Tagging: Artificial Distinction, Real Discrimination
Iñarra García, María Elena; Laruelle, Annick (2011-02-08)
We introduce a new variation of the hawk-dove game suggested by an experiment that studies the behavior of a group of domestic fowls when a subgroup has been marked. Speci cally we consider a population formed by two types ... -
Do Mayoritarian Electoral Rules Favour Larger Industries in the Economy
(Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, UPV/EHU, 2016)Electoral rules translate votes into seats on different basis. Politicians respond differently to alternative electoral rules, and consequently, economic performance is expected to vary across rules. This paper empirically ... -
Doubts and Equilibria
Cabrales, Antonio; Uriarte Ayo, José Ramón (2008)
In real life strategic interactions, decision-makers are likely to entertain doubts about the degree of optimality of their play. To capture this feature of real choice-making, we present here a model based on the doubts ... -
Efficiency of weighted networks
Olaizola Ortega, María Norma; Valenciano Llovera, Federico (Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, UPV/EHU, 2017-11-14)
In this paper, we address the question of the efficiency of weighted networks in a setting where nodes derive utility from their direct and indirect connections. Under rather general conditions, based on a set of assumptions ... -

Olaizola Ortega, María Norma; Valenciano Llovera, Federico (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 ... -
Egalitarian distributions in coalitional models: The Lorenz criterion
(2003-01)The paper presents a framework where the most important single-valued solutions in the literature of TU games are jointly analyzed. The paper also suggests that similar frameworks may be useful for other coalitional models. -
Electoral Systems and Income Inequality: A Tale of Political Equality
(Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, UPV/EHU, 2018-10-23)Political economy literature has so far failed to offer a consensus on the effect of political institutions such as regime type (democracy vs. autocracy) and electoral systems (majori- tarian vs. proportional representation) ...
