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, ...
Wage differentials between permanent and temporary workers: Firm and occupational segregation
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2003)
The main issue of this paper is to measure the impact of segregation of workers with fixed-term contracts into low-paying firms and low-paying occupations within the same firm to explain wage gaps between these workers and ...
Fishing effort validation and substitution possibilities among components: the case study of the VIII division European anchovy fishery
(Routledge. Taylor & Francis, 2003)
Command and control regulation programs, particularly input constraints, typically
fail to achieve stated objectives, because fishermen may substitute unregulated for
regulated inputs. It is, thus, essential to have an ...
Cohomologically Kähler manifolds with no Kähler metrics
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2003)
We show some examples of compact symplectic solvmanifolds, of
dimension greater than four, which are cohomologically
Kähler and do not admit Kähler metric since their
fundamental groups cannot be the fundamental group ...
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 ...
The effect of flexibility in working hours on fertility: A comparative analysis of selected european countries
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2003-09)
The main aim of this paper is to measure the extent to which part-time work enhances fertility for married or cohabiting women of fertile age. The study covers eleven European countries. The data used are a pool sample of ...
Role of occupied d bands in the dynamics of excited electrons and holes in Ag
(American Physical Society, 2003)
The role that occupied d bands play in the inelastic lifetime of bulk and surface states in Ag is investigated from the knowledge of the quasiparticle self-energy. In the case of bulk electrons, sp bands are taken to be ...
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, ...
