Using the ECHP, we explored the determinants of having the first child in Spain. Our main goal was to study the relation between female wages and the decision to enter motherhood. Since the offered wage of non-working women ...
Vertical Differentiation and Entry Deterrence: A Reconsideration
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2005-01)
In this work we emphasize why market coverage should be considered endogenous for a correct analysis of entry deterrence in vertical differentiation models and discuss the implications of this endogeneity for that analysis. ...
A Behavioral Foundation for Models of Evolutionary Drift
(2005-07)
Binmore and Samuelson (1999) have shown that perturbations (drift) are crucial to study the stability properties of Nash equilibria. We contribute to this literature by providing a behavioural foundation for models of ...
Language Rights and Community Law

A factor model of seasonality in stock returns
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2002)
Most empirical evidence on stock market seasonality is based on the Dummy Variable Approach (DVA). Typically, the DVA leaves too much variability of stock returns unexplained and inference usually leads to weak or null ...
A two-stage stochastic integer programming approach
(2005)
We present an algorithmic approach for solving two-stage stochastic mixed 0-1 problems. The first stage constraints of the Deterministic Equivalent Model have 0--1 variables and continuous variables. The approach uses the ...
