CO2 prices will continue to differ from one country to another for a long time, even if a global post-Kyoto agreement is achieved in the near future. The non-homogeneous nature of climate policies may decrease the ...
The Slow Search for Solutions: Lessons from Historical Energy Transitions by Sector and Service
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2010-04-07)
This paper reviews past energy transitions by sector and service to identify features that may be useful for anticipating future transitions. As the United Kingdom was the first to make the transition from traditional ...
Semiparametric inference in correlated long memory signal plus noise models
(2010-04)
This paper proposes an extension of the log periodogram regression in perturbed long memory series that accounts for the added noise, also allowing for correlation between signal and noise, which represents a common situation ...
Fractional Integration Analysis and its Implications on Profitability: the Case of the Mackerel Market in the Basque Country
(2010)
This paper analyses weekly prices for mackerel landed by the inshore fleet at the ports of the Basque Country in 1995-2008, using new econometric techniques never before applied to the fishing market. The idea is to learn ...
Methods for Measuring Aggregate Costs of Conflict

Travellers' Types
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2010)
This paper uses subjects’ self-reported justifications to explain discrepancies between observed heterogeneous behavior and the unique equilibrium prediction in a one-shot traveler’s dilemma experiment (TD). Principal ...

Unraveling Public Good Games: The Role of Priors
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2010-02)
This paper provides experimental evidence on how players predict end game effects in a linear public good game. Our regression analysis yields a measure of the relative importance of priors and signals on subjects\' beliefs ...
Discounting future pain: Effects on self-reported pain
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2010-07)
Empirical results are presented showing that people who acknowledge pain anticipation when expecting an injury experience higher sensitivity to pain (GREP, Robinson et al., 2001). The positive correlation between sensitivity ...
Time discounting (delta) and pain anticipation: Experimental evidence
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2010-11)
This paper deals with pain anticipation experienced before medical procedures. Our experimental results show that individuals with lower discount factors are more prone to suffer pain in advance. We provide a framework to ...
