Partial cross-ownership and strategic environmental policy
(2011)
This paper analyzes the effect that passive investment in rival firms has on the setting of cooperative and non-cooperative environmental taxes. We consider two firms located in different countries, one of which owns a ...
Wavelet multiple correlation and cross-correlation: A multiscale analysis of euro zone stock markets
(2011-06)
Statistical studies that consider multiscale relationships among several variables use wavelet correlations and cross-correlations between pairs of variables. This procedure needs to calculate and compare a large number ...
Stochastic Surface Models for Commodity Futures: A 2D Kalman Filter Approach
(2011-09)
We propose a two-dimensional Kalman filter approach that, additional to the information contained in futures prices evolution over time, makes use of information contained in the term structure of commodity futures along ...
Network formation under institutional constraints
(2011-05)
We study the effects of institutional constraints on stability, efficiency and network formation. An exogenous "societal cover" consisting of a collection of possibly overlapping subsets covering the set of players specifies ...
Minority Language and the Stability of Bilingual Equilibria
(2011)
We investigate a society with two official languages: A, shared by all individuals and B, spoken by a bilingual mirority. Thus, it is only B that needs t increase its population share, and therefore, only the language ...
Preferences, actions and voting rules
(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 ...
A parallelizable algorithmic framework for solving large scale multi-stage stochastic mixed 0-1 problems under uncertainty
(2011-02)
In this paper we present a parallelizable scheme of the Branch-and-Fix Coordination algorithm for solving medium and large scale multi-stage mixed 0-1 optimization problems under uncertainty. The uncertainty is represented ...
On Downloading and Using CPLEX within COIN-OR for Solving Linear/Integer Optimization Problems
(2011-11)
The aim of this technical report is to present some detailed explanations in order to use the solver CPLEX within COIN-OR
environment. In particular, we describe how to download, install and use the corresponding source ...
A new look at Marx's refutation of Ricardo's refutation of the labor theory of value
(2011)
In this paper, I would like to bring back to light the forgotten critique of Marx to the widely accepted view that Ricardo succeeded in refuting the universal validity of the labor theory of value in "Principles", chapter ...
Measuring the Effect of the Real Estate Bubble: a House Price Index for Bilbao
(2011-11)
A spatio-temporal model is proposed aimed at producing an index of housing prices. A hedonic model with geographically varying coefficients is coupled with a non parametric estimation of the trend, whence a price index is derived.
