In this paper we study ternary trichotomous rules, that allows for three levels of input, positive, neutral and negative and three levels of output, positive, undetermined and negative. We illustrate the interest of such ... -
Towards a participatory integrated assessment approach for planning and managing Natura 2000 network sites
Etxano Gandariasbeitia, Iker; ; ; Hoyos Ramos, David ; ; ; Lozano Valencia, Pedro José (Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2012-10)
Managing protected areas implies dealing with complex social-ecological systems where multiple dimensions (social, institutional, economic and ecological) interact over time for the delivery of ecosystem services. ... -
Transboundary Externalities in the Environmental Transition Hypothesis
Ansuategui Cobo, José Alberto; Perrings, Charles (1999-01)
The Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) is a hypothesis which implies that it is possible to "grow out of environmental degradation." Most theoretical models of the EKC relation have not accounted for transboundary and ... -
Travellers' Types
Brañas Garza, Pablo; Espinosa Alejos, María Paz; Rey Biel, Pedro (University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2010)
This paper uses subjects’ self-reported justifications to explain discrepancies between observed heterogeneous behavior and the unique equilibrium prediction in a one-shot traveler’s dilemma experiment (TD). Principal ... -
Trend analysis in two standard growth models
Restrepo Ochoa, Sergio I.; Vázquez Pérez, Jesús (University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2002-07)
This paper analyzes the trend processes characterized by two standard growth models using simple econometrics. The first model is the basic neoclassical growth model that postulates a deterministic trend for output. The ... -
Turnout Intention and Social Networks
Fosco, Constanza; Laruelle, Annick; Sánchez, Angel (2009-06)
How can networking affect the turnout in an election? We present a simple model to explain turnout as a result of a dynamic process of formation of the intention to vote within Erdös-Renyi random networks. Citizens have ... -
Two-part tariff licensing mechanisms
San Martín Lizarralde, Marta; Saracho de la Torre, Ana Isabel (Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, UPV-EHU, 2012-06)
Most of the patent licensing agreements that are observed include royalties, in particular per-unit or ad valorem royalties. This paper shows that in a differ entiated duopoly that competes á la Cournot the optimal ... -
Two-Stage Nonparametric Regression for Longitudinal Data
Ferreira García, María Eva; Núñez Antón, Vicente Alfredo ; Rodríguez Poo, Juan M. (1999-01)
In the analysis of longitudinal data it is of main interest to investigate the existence of group and individual effects under correlated observations across time. In this paper, we develop a nonparametric two-step procedure ... -
Uncertain Information Structures and Backward Induction
(Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, UPV/EHU, 2014-03-25)In everyday economic interactions, it is not clear whether sequential choices are visible or not to other participants: agents might be deluded about opponents'capacity to acquire,interpret or keep track of data, or might ... -
Uncertainty and Real Options. Investment and Development of Fishing Resources (I)
(2000-01)[EN] The valuation of development opportunity of a fishery is made particularly difficult by the high degree of uncertainty attaching to the price of the fishing resource. The net-present-value and other discounted cash-flows ... -
Uncertainty and Real Options. Investment and Development of Fishing Resources (II)
(2000-01)[EN] The irreversibility of the investment expenditures in a fishery and the high degree of uncertainty attaching to the price of the fishing resources make the evaluation of investment opportunity in a fishery particularly ... -
Understanding Tariff Deficit and its Challenges
Espinosa Alejos, María Paz (University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2013-01)
Regulators and market participants have become increasingly concerned about the Spanish electricity tariff deficit due to its size and the difficulties to control its growth. The deficit can be traced to inefficiencies in ... -
Understanding the ex-ante cost of liquidity in the limit order book: A note
Martínez Sedano, Miguel Ángel; Rubio Irigoyen, Gonzalo; Tapia, Mikel (University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2002-01)
This paper estimates a new measure of liquidity costs in a market driven by orders. It represents thecost of simultaneously buying and selling a given amount of shares, and it is given by a single measure of ex-ante liquidity ... -
Unemployment rates and population changes in Spain
Echevarría Olave, Cruz Ángel; Eguía Peña, María Begoña (University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2002)
This paper discusses the long run effect of changes in the age distribution of Spanish population on the unemployment rate, disaggregated by sex and age segments in the light of cointegration theory given the non stationarity ... -
Unilateral vs. Bilateral link-formation: Bridging the gap
Olaizola Ortega, María Norma; Valenciano Llovera, Federico (Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, UPV/EHU, 2014-05-28)
We provide a model that bridges the gap between two benchmark models of strategic network formation: Jackson and Wolinsky' s model based on bilateral formation of links, and Bala and Goyal's two-way fl ow model, where links ... -
Union Formation and Bargaining Rules in the Labor Market
Chica Páez, Yolanda; Espinosa Alejos, María Paz (University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2005-03)
This paper analyzes union formation in a model of bargaining between a firm and several unions. We address two questions: first, the optimal configuration of unions (their number and size) and, second, the impact of the ... -
Unions, Monetary Shocks and the Labour Market Cycle
Fernández de Córdoba, Gonzalo; Vázquez Pérez, Jesús (University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2010-02)

Unraveling Public Good Games: The Role of Priors
Brañas Garza, Pablo; Espinosa Alejos, María Paz (University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2010-02)

Using discrete choice experiments for environmental valuation
Hoyos Ramos, David (2010)
This paper provides with a review of the state of the art of environmental valuation with discrete choice experiments (DCE). The growing body of literature on this field serves to emphasise the increasing role that DCE are ... -
Using network mesures to test evolved NK-landscapes
Santana Hermida, Roberto; ; (2012)
In this paper we empirically investigate which are the structural characteristics that can help to predict the complexity of NK-landscape instances for estimation of distribution algorithms. To this end, we evolve instances ...
