Absorbing Sets in Coalitional Systems
(2001-12)
The purpose of this paper is twofold: First, to present an approach and a solution for analyzing the stability of coalition structures: We define a coalitional system (a set and a binary relation on that set) that explains ...
Internal Organization of Firms and Cartel Formation
(2004-12)
We introduce and characterize a new solution concept for TU games. The new soluction is called SD-prenucleolus and is a lexicographic value although is not a weighted prenucleolus. The SD-prenucleolus satisfies several ...
Nonparametric estimation of time varying parameters under shape restrictions
(2001-01)
In this paper we propose a new method to estimate nonparametrically a time varying parameter model when some qualitative information from outside data (e.g. seasonality) is available. In this framework we make two main ...
An Approach to the stability of international environmental agreements: the absorbing sets solution

We address the problem of completing two files with records containing a fully observed common subset of variables. The tecnique investigated involves the use of regression and/or classification trees. An extension of ...
Multiple imputation of time series: an application to the construction of historical price indexes
(2005)
Time series in many areas of application, and notably in the social sciences, are frequently incomplete. This is particularly annoying when we need to have complete data, for instance to compute indexes as a weighted average ...
Choice experiment study on the willingness to pay to improve
(2009-06)
Modern forms of energy are an important vehicle towards poverty alleviation in rural areas of developing countries. Most developing countries’ households heavily rely on wood fuel which impact their health and social–economic ...
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 ...
Spanish Customer Satisfaction Indices by Cumulative Panel Data
(2003-07)
In this paper, we present a new theoretical representation of the Consumer Satisfaction Index (CSI) based on Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). We use panel data collected by an automotive magazine to apply our approach ...
Analysis of Length of Time Spent in Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
(2001-01)
This paper investigates original issuers of high yield bonds in Chapter 11 bankruptcy to determine which factors affect the length of time spent in Chapter 11. In order to do this analysis we propose a flexible new duration ...
