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.
Product Differentiation with Consumer Arbitrage
(2003-03)
We analyze the consequences of consumers behavior concerning personal arbitrage in a spatial discrimination context where firms know the consumers distribution but cannot distinguish them by location. The firms' equilibrium ...
International and Intergenerational Dimensions of Climate Change: North-South Cooperation in an Overlapping Generations Framework
(2003-12)
Global environmental problems such as climate change have both an international and an intertemporal dimension. Recently, some papers have used an overlapping generations framework to analyze the climate change problem ...
The Supercore for Normal Form Games
(2003-10)
We study the supercore of a system derived from a normal form game. For the case of a finite game with pure strategies, we define a sequence of games and show that the supercore of that system coincides with the set of ...
Timing of Wage Setting when Firms Invest in R&D
(2003-12)
In this paper, we analyze the effect that the timing of wage setting (i. e. whether wages set sequentially or simultaneously) has on the investment in R&D of firms, when that investment increases the productivity of labor, ...
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 ...
An Approach to the stability of international environmental agreements: the absorbing sets solution
(2003-12)
We study international environmental negotiations when agreements between countries can not be binding. A problem with this kind of negotiations is that countries have incentives for free-riding from such agreements. We ...
Profit and Cost in "Modern" Post-Marxian Profit Theory: A Case Study from Varian's "Intermediate Microeconomics"
(2003-09)
In this paper, I examine the treatment of competitive profit of professor Varian in his
textbook on Microeconomics, as a representative of the “modern” post-Marxian view on competitive profit. I show how, on the one hand, ...
Output dynamics in an endogenous growth model
(2003-07)
The aim of this paper is to analyze whether endogenous growth RBC models are consistent with two stylized facts about U.S. output dynamics. First, GNP growth is positively correlated in the short run and it has a weak ...
A Fundamental Contradiction in Keynes' Conception of Income
(2003-02)
I contend that Keynes provides two contradictory definitions of aggregate income. According to the first definition, which is the dominant in Keynes as well as the standard in current Macroeconomics, the full value of ...
