Foreign Aid Linked to Infrastructure and/or Pollution Abatement
(Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, UPV/EHU, 2014-03)
This paper studies the macroeconomic effects of a permanent increase in foreign aid in a model that takes into account environmental quality. We develop a dynamic equilibrium model in which both public investment in ...
A Model of Evolutionay Drift
(2003-02)
Drift appears to be crucial to study the stability properties of Nash equilibria in a component specifying different out-of-equilibrium behaviour. We propose a new microeconomic model of drift to be added to the learning ...
The Economics of "Why is it so hard to save a threatened Language?"

Unilateral vs. Bilateral link-formation: Bridging the gap
(Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, UPV/EHU, 2014-05-28)

The Language Game: A Game-Theoretic Approach to Language Contact
(2006-06)
We study a society inside which two official languages, the majority language A and the minority language B, are in contact and compete for the same social functions. We propose a non-cooperative game to capture some ...
Majorities with a quorum
(2010-01)
Based on a general model of "quaternary" voting rule, sensitive to voters' choices between four different options (abstaining, voting "yes", voting "no" and staying home), we systematically study different types of majority ...

(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 ...
