The Optimality of the Common Fisheries Policy: the Northern Stock of Hake
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2002)
We evaluate the management of the Northern Stock of Hake during 1986-2001. A stochastic
bioeconomic model is calibrated to match the main features of this fishing ground. We show how catches, biomass stock and profits ...
Dynamic Inefficiency in an Overlapping Generation Economy with Pollution and Health Costs
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2002-01)
We analyze an overlapping generations model in which pollution arises, in an accumulatively way, from production. Householders do not care directly about the environment, but pollution leads them to incur health costs when ...
Explosive Hyperinflation, Inflation Tax Laffer Curve and Modelling the use of Money
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2002-07)
This paper analyzes the existence of an inflation tax Laffer curve (ITLC) in the context of two standard optimizing monetary models: a cash-in-advance model and a money in the utility function model. Agents’ preferences ...
Markov Switching Risk Premium and the term structure of interest rates. Empirical evidence from US post-war interest rates
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2002-04)
This paper considers the basic present value model of interest rates under rational expectations with two additional features. First, following McCallum (1994), the model assumes a policy reaction function where changes ...
The changing behaviour of the term structure of post-war US
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2002-07)
Using U.S. interest rate data covering the period 1950:1-1992:7, this paper tests the rational expectations model of the term structure of interest rates. We show evidence that the rational expectations model of the term ...
Growth in Overlapping Generation Economies with Non-Renewable Resources
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2002)
Feasibility of positive steady-state growth in overlapping generation (OLG) economies that use non-renewable resources as essential inputs in the production process is analyzed. The model we use is, in essence, that of ...
