Prosocial norms and degree heterogeneity in social networks
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2012)We provide empirical evidence to support the claims that social diversity promotes prosocial behavior. We elicit a real-life social network and its members’ adherence to a social norm, namely inequity aversion. The data ... -
Pulse vs. Optimal Stationary Fishing: The Northern Stock of Hake
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2011-11)Pulse fishing may be a global optimal strategy in multicohort fisheries. In this article we compare the pulse fishing solutions obtained by using global numerical methods with the analytical stationary optimal solution. ... -
R&D Policy in Economies with Endogenous Growth and Non-Renewable Resources
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2007-10)The aim of this paper is to analyze how active R&D policies affect the growth rate of an economy with endogenous growth and non-renewable resources. We know from Scholz and Ziemens (1999) and Groth (2006) that in infinitely ... -
Reconciling yield stability with international fisheries agencies precautionary preferences: the role of non constant discount factors in age structured models
(2015)International fisheries agencies recommend exploitation paths that satisfy two features. First, for precautionary reasons exploitation paths should avoid high fishing mortality in those fisheries where the biomass is ... -
Reference Points and Optimal Management in Stochastic Age-Structured Fisheries Models
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2009-07)The purpose of this article is to characterize dynamic optimal harvesting trajectories that maximize discounted utility assuming an age-structured population model, in the same line as Tahvonen (2009). The main novelty of ... -
Reference Points Based on Dynamic Optimisation: A Versatil Algorithm for Mixed Fishery Management with Bio-economic Agestructured Models
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2012)Single-species management objectives may not be consistent within mixed fisheries. They may lead species to unsafe situations, promote discarding of over-quota and/or misreporting of catches. We provide an algorithm for ... -

First we show that the ine¢ cient ... -
Roaming in the Mobile Internet: when coverage sharing agreements call for regulation
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2003-06)We examine competition in Mobile Internet services, when operators bargain over the coverage sharing and their reciprocal roaming charge. Results show that in equilibrium operators cover the overall territory entirely and ... -

Agents derive utility from two types of consumption goods one which relies on an ... -
Selectivity, pulse fishing and endogenous lifespan in Beverton-Holt models
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2012)Optimal management in a multi-cohort Beverton-Holt model with any number of age classes and imperfect selectivity is equivalent to finding the optimal fish lifespan by chosen fallow cycles. Optimal policy differs in two ... -
Should Fiscal Policy be different in a Non-Competitive Framework?
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2002-07)This paper studies if imperfections in the labor market justify a different fiscal policy. We present a dynamic general equilibrium model with a Ramsey planner deciding about public spending, labor taxes and debt. Two ... -
Skill premium effects on fertility and female labor force supply
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2002)In the last twenty years the United States has seen a positive relationship between female labor supply and total fertility rates, which differs from the pattern observed over the preceding years. We construct a general ... -
Smiling under stochastic volatility
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2002)This paper studies the behavior of the implied volatility function (smile) when the true distribution of the underlying asset is consistent with the stochastic volatility model proposed by Heston (1993). The main result ... -
Social Housing under Oligopoly
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2008-03)In this paper it is shown that the setting up of a social housing system may decrease the total number of houses built in the market, induce a price of non-social houses greater than the price of houses without that system ... -
