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. ... -
Cultural Values, Family Decisions and Gender Segregation in Higher Education: Evidence from 26 OECD Economies
(Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, UPV/EHU, 2018-06-11)This paper examines the role of cultural values and family decision-making in the gender distribution of higher education on a panel database of 9 elds of study in 26 OECD countries over 1998-2012. The paper surmises ... -
DANTE: Un MEGA dinámico para el control del cambio climático en España
(2006)El estudio de los impactos económicos de las políticas de control del cambio climático requiere del uso de modelos adecuados. Este artículo presenta un Modelo Dinámico de Equilibrio General Aplicado tipo Ramsey. El modelo ... -
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 ... -
Efficiency vs. Stability in a Mixed Network Formation Model
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) ... -
Emergence of Cooperation in Heterogeneous Population: A Discrete-Time Replicator Dynamics Analysis
Escobedo Martínez, Ramón; Laruelle, Annick (Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, 2013-12)
The emergence of cooperation is analyzed in heterogeneous populations where individuals can be classified in two groups according to their phenotypic appearance. Phenotype recognition is assumed for all individuals: ... -
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 ... -
La evolución de la intensidad energética de la industria vasca entre 1982-2001: Un análisis de descomposición
Ansuategui Cobo, José Alberto; (2003)
In this article an index decomposition methodology is used to estimate the effect of intersectorial and intrasectorial changes in explaining the 38% reduction in industrial energy intensity in the Basque Autonomous Community ... -
Evolution of Cooperation in the Snowdrift Game with Incomplete Information and Heterogeneous Population
Barreira da Silva Rocha, André; Laruelle, Annick (Departamento de fundamentos del análisis económico I / Ekonomi analisiaren oinarriak I saila, 2012-09-19)
Differently from previous studies of tag-based cooperation, we assume that individuals fail to recognize their own tag. Due to such incomplete information, the action taken against the opponent cannot be based on similarity, ... -
Expected Fair Allocation in Farsighted Network Formation
(2013)I consider cooperation situations where players have network relations. Networks evolve according to a stationary transition probability matrix and at each moment in time players receive payoffs from a stationary allocation ...
