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 ... -
Monotonic core solutions: Beyond Young's theorem
(2010-07)We introduce two new monotonicity properties for core concepts: single-valued solution concepts that always select a core allocation whenever the game is balanced (has a nonempty core). We present one result of impossibility ... -
Information, stability and dynamics in networks under institutional constraints
(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 ... -
Endogenous Timing in a Mixed Duopoly: Wighted Welfare and Price Competition
(2011)In this paper we analyse the endogenous order of moves in a mixed duopoly for differentiated goods. Firms choose whether to set prices sequentially or simultaneously. The private firm maximises profits while the public ... -
Relocation and Investment in R&D by Firms
(2011)The literature on foreign direct investment has analyzed firms’ location decisions when they invest in R&D to reduce production costs. Such firms may set up new plants in other developed countries while maintaining their ... -
An axiomatization of success
(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. -
Partial cross-ownership and strategic environmental policy
(2011)This paper analyzes the effect that passive investment in rival firms has on the setting of cooperative and non-cooperative environmental taxes. We consider two firms located in different countries, one of which owns a ... -
Minority Language and the Stability of Bilingual Equilibria
(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 ... -
A new look at Marx's refutation of Ricardo's refutation of the labor theory of value
(2011)In this paper, I would like to bring back to light the forgotten critique of Marx to the widely accepted view that Ricardo succeeded in refuting the universal validity of the labor theory of value in "Principles", chapter ... -
Preferences, actions and voting rules
(2011-01-17)In this paper we address several issues related to collective dichotomous decision-making by means of quaternary voting rules, i.e., when voters may choose between four actions: voting yes, voting no, abstaining and not ... -
Discriminating by Tagging: Artificial Distinction, Real Discrimination
(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 ... -
Network formation under institutional constraints
(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 ... -
Welfare Effects of Third-Degree Price Discrimination: Ippolito Meets Schmalensee and Varian
(2011-10)Based on a pioneering work by Ippolito (1980) we construct a simple model wich allows the welfare effects of third-degree price discrimination to be well understood and explained. The decomposition of the change in welfare ... -
Multimarket Competition and Welfare Effects of Price discrimination
(2011-11)The paper investigates the effects on welfare of price discrimination when a multimarket seller faces competition in one of its two markets. With respect to uniform pricing, price discrimination changes competition in such ... -
The SD-prenucleolus for TU games
(2011-12)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 ... -
Replicator Dynamics and Evolutionary Stable Strategies in Heterogeneous Games
(2011-12)We generalise and extend the work of Iñarra and Laruelle (2011) by studying two person symmetric evolutionary games with two strategies, a heterogenous population with two possible types of individuals and incomplete ... -
To appove or not to approve: this is not the only question
(2012)This paper deals with electing candidates. In elections voters are frequently offered a small set of actions (voting in favor of one candidate, voting blank, spoiling the ballot, and not showing up). Thus voters can ... -
Two-part tariff licensing mechanisms
(Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, UPV-EHU, 2012-06)Most of the patent licensing agreements that are observed include royalties, in particular per-unit or ad valorem royalties. This paper shows that in a differ entiated duopoly that competes á la Cournot the optimal ... -
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 ... -
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 ...
