The role of the terms of trade in the trade channel of transmission of oil price shocks
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2010-12)
This paper highlights the role of the terms of trade in the trade channel of propagation of oil price shocks both empirically and theoretically. Empirically, I show that oil price shocks have a large, persistent and ...
Endogenous fisheries management in a stochastic model: Why do fishery agencies use TAC
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2010-12)
The aim of this paper is to explain under which circumstances using TACs as instrument to manage a fishery along with fishing periods may be interesting from a regulatory point of view. In order to do this, the deterministic ...
Fiscal Policy and Economic Stability: Does PIGS stand for Procyclicality In Government Spending?
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2010-12)
The Financial Crisis has hit particularly hard countries like Ireland or Spain. Procyclical fiscal policy has contributed to a boom-bust cycle that undermined fiscal positions and deepened current account deficits during ...
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 ...
Prices and the Real Exchange Rate in Hong Kong: 1985-2006
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2010-11)
This paper seeks to quantify to the extent to which price dynamics in Hong Kong are due to the Balassa-Samuelson hypothesis. From 1985 to 1998, the CPI in Hong Kong increased spectacularly, yet there was dramatic deflation ...
Learning Bayesian network classifiers for multidimensional supervised classification problems by means of a multiobjective approach
(2010)
A classical supervised classification task tries to predict a single class variable based on a data set composed of a set of labeled examples. However, in many real domains more than one variable could be considered as a ...
A Preprocessing Procedure for Haplotype Inference by Pure Parsimony
(2010)
Haplotype data is especially important in the study of complex diseases
since it contains more information than genotype data. However,
obtaining haplotype data is technically difficult and expensive. Computational
methods ...
Methods for Measuring Aggregate Costs of Conflict
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2010-09)
This paper reviews the methods for measuring the economic cost of conflict. Estimating the economic costs of conflict requires a counterfactual calculation, which makes this a very difficult task. Social researchers have ...
Methodological keys for the acquisition and long-term use of photographic collections representing elements of Heritage
(Computer Applications and Quantitative Methods in Archeology (CAA), 2010-04)
[EN] Photographic pictures contain high-resolution information about the elements of
Heritage and they can be obtained at a low cost. Besides, they can be used metrically with different degrees of accuracy: from the ...
Model of sources: a proposal for the hierarchy, merging strategy and representation of the information sources in virtual models of historical buildings
(Computer Applications and Quantitative Methods in Archeology (CAA), 2010-04)
[EN] Virtual models show an image of the historical buildings for a specific moment in
time and with a definite level of detail. Many information sources are normally
required to build up a virtual model, some common ...
