Foreign Aid Linked to Infrastructure and/or Pollution Abatement
(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 ...
A potential approach to claims problems
(Departamento de Economía Aplicada IV, UPV/EHU, 2015)
Hart and Mas Colell (1989) introduce the potential function for cooperative TU games. In this paper, we extend this approach to claims problems, also known as bankruptcy or rationing problems. We show that for appropriate ...
The minimal overlap cost sharing rule
(Departamento de Economía Aplicada IV, UPV/EHU, 2015)
In this paper we introduce a new cost sharing rule-the minimal overlap cost sharing rule-which is associated with the minimal overlap rule for claims problems defined by O'Neill (1982). An axiomatic characterization is ...
Lagrangean decomposition for large-scale two-stage stochastic mixed 0-1 problems
(2010-07)
In this paper we study solution methods for solving the dual problem corresponding to the Lagrangean Decomposition of two stage stochastic mixed 0-1 models. We represent the two stage stochastic mixed 0-1 problem by a ...
The Economics of "Why is it so hard to save a threatened Language?"
(Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, UPV/EHU, 2014-02)
We study the language choice behavior of bilingual speakers in modern societies, such
as the Basque Country, Ireland andWales. These countries have two o cial languages:A, spoken by all, and B, spoken by a minority. We ...
Unilateral vs. Bilateral link-formation: Bridging the gap
(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 ...
Network formation under institutional constraints
(2011-05)
We study the effects of institutional constraints on stability, efficiency and network formation. An exogenous "societal cover" consisting of a collection of possibly overlapping subsets covering the set of players specifies ...
Minority Language and the Stability of Bilingual Equilibria
(2011)
We investigate a society with two official languages: A, shared by all individuals and B, spoken by a bilingual mirority. Thus, it is only B that needs t increase its population share, and therefore, only the language ...
Majorities with a quorum
(2010-01)
Based on a general model of "quaternary" voting rule, sensitive to voters' choices between four different options (abstaining, voting "yes", voting "no" and staying home), we systematically study different types of majority ...
Preferences, actions and voting rules
(2011-01-17)
In this paper we address several issues related to collective dichotomous decision-making by means of quaternary voting rules, i.e., when voters may choose between four actions: voting yes, voting no, abstaining and not ...
