Efficiency of weighted networks
Olaizola Ortega, María Norma
; Valenciano Llovera, Federico (Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, UPV/EHU, 2017-11-14)
In this paper, we address the question of the efficiency of weighted networks in a setting where nodes derive utility from their direct and indirect connections. Under rather general conditions, based on a set of assumptions ... -
Efficiency vs. Stability in a Mixed Network Formation Model
Olaizola Ortega, María Norma; Valenciano Llovera, Federico (Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, 2015-03-26)
The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, the incomplete results relative to effciency in a transitional model introduced in a previous paper, distinguishing two types of links, strong or doubly-supported and weak or ... -
Egalitarian distributions in coalitional models: The Lorenz criterion
(2003-01)The paper presents a framework where the most important single-valued solutions in the literature of TU games are jointly analyzed. The paper also suggests that similar frameworks may be useful for other coalitional models. -
Electoral Systems and Income Inequality: A Tale of Political Equality
(Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, UPV/EHU, 2018-10-23)Political economy literature has so far failed to offer a consensus on the effect of political institutions such as regime type (democracy vs. autocracy) and electoral systems (majori- tarian vs. proportional representation) ... -
Emergence of Cooperation in Heterogeneous Population: A Discrete-Time Replicator Dynamics Analysis
Escobedo Martínez, Ramón; Laruelle, Annick (Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, 2013-12)
The emergence of cooperation is analyzed in heterogeneous populations where individuals can be classified in two groups according to their phenotypic appearance. Phenotype recognition is assumed for all individuals: ... -
Endogenous Timing in a Mixed Duopoly: Wighted Welfare and Price Competition
(2011)In this paper we analyse the endogenous order of moves in a mixed duopoly for differentiated goods. Firms choose whether to set prices sequentially or simultaneously. The private firm maximises profits while the public ... -
La evolución de la intensidad energética de la industria vasca entre 1982-2001: Un análisis de descomposición
Ansuategui Cobo, José Alberto; (2003)
In this article an index decomposition methodology is used to estimate the effect of intersectorial and intrasectorial changes in explaining the 38% reduction in industrial energy intensity in the Basque Autonomous Community ... -
Evolution of Cooperation in the Snowdrift Game with Incomplete Information and Heterogeneous Population
Barreira da Silva Rocha, André; Laruelle, Annick (Departamento de fundamentos del análisis económico I / Ekonomi analisiaren oinarriak I saila, 2012-09-19)
Differently from previous studies of tag-based cooperation, we assume that individuals fail to recognize their own tag. Due to such incomplete information, the action taken against the opponent cannot be based on similarity, ... -
Expected Fair Allocation in Farsighted Network Formation
(2013)I consider cooperation situations where players have network relations. Networks evolve according to a stationary transition probability matrix and at each moment in time players receive payoffs from a stationary allocation ... -
Experimental Economics Meets Language Choice
Barañano Mentxaka, Ilaski; Kovarik, Jaromir ; Uriarte Ayo, José Ramón (Departamento de Fundamentos del Ánálisis Económico I, 2014-10-08)
Roughly one half of World's languages are in danger of extinction. The endangered languages, spoken by minorities, typically compete with powerful languages such as En- glish or Spanish. Consequently, the speakers of ... -
Foreign Aid Linked to Infrastructure and/or Pollution Abatement
Barañano Mentxaka, Ilaski; San Martín Lizarralde, Marta (Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, UPV/EHU, 2014-03)
This paper studies the macroeconomic effects of a permanent increase in foreign aid in a model that takes into account environmental quality. We develop a dynamic equilibrium model in which both public investment in ... -
Forward-looking Pairwise Stability in Networks with Externalities
(2013)We consider cooperation situations where players have network relations. Networks evolve according to a stationary transition probability matrix and at each moment in time players receive payoffs from a stationary allocation ... -
From bilateral two-way to unilateral one-way flow link-formation
Olaizola Ortega, María Norma; Valenciano Llovera, Federico (Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, 2014-11-26)
We provide a model that bridges de gap between the simplest variation of two benchmark models of strategic network formation: Bala and Goyal s one-way ow model without decay, where links can be unilaterally formed, and a ... -
Games with perceptions
Iñarra García, María Elena; Laruelle, Annick ; (Deparamento de fundamentos del análisis económico I, 2012-10-23)
We assume that 2 x 2 matrix games are publicly known and that players perceive a dichotomous characteristic on their opponents which defines two types for each player. In turn, each type has beliefs concerning her opponent's ... -
Geographical mobility and the labour market
(Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I. UPV-EHU, 2015-05)This paper studies the e ect of home-owners' migration costs on migration and unemployment in an economy where workers move both for work- and nonwork- related reasons. To this end, a search model with heterogeneous locations ... -
Ghost seats in the Basque Parliament
Ibarzabal Laka, Nora; Laruelle, Annick (Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, UPV/EHU, 2015-04-24)
In elections voters have generally four options: to abstain, to cast a blank vote, to cast a null vote, or to vote for a candidate or party. This last option is a positive expression of support, while the other three options ... -
Housing Tenure, Geographical Mobility and the Labour Market: the Role of the Employment Exit Rate
(Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, UPV/EHU, 2018-11)This paper studies the effect of home-owners' migration costs on unemployment in an economy where workers move both for work- and non-work-related reasons. To this end, a search model with heterogeneous locations is developed ... -
Human Capital and Market Size
(Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, UPV/EHU I, 2016-07)This paper studies how the size of the labour market aff ects workers' decision to invest in human capital. We consider a model of mismatch where firms rank workers according to their level of skills. The matching process ... -
Implementing with veto players: a simple non cooperative game
(2005-06)The paper adapts a non cooperative game presented by Dagan, Serrano and Volij (1997) for bankruptcy problems to the context of TU veto balanced games. We investigate the relationship between the Nash outcomes of a ... -
Income risk of EU coal-fired power plants after Kyoto
Abadie, Luis María; Chamorro Gómez, José Manuel (2008-10)
Coal-fired power plants may enjoy a significant advantage relative to gas plants in terms of cheaper fuel cost. Still, this advantage may erode or even turn into disadvantage depending on CO2 emission allowance price. This ...
