Experimental Economics Meets Language Choice
(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 ...
From bilateral two-way to unilateral one-way flow link-formation
(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 ...
A Game-Theoreteic Analysis of Minority Language Use in Multilingual Societies
(Departamento Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, 2015-10)
This chapter studies multilingual democratic societies with highly developed economies. These societies are assumed to have two languages with official status: language A, spoken by every individual, and language B, spoken ...
Quaternary dichotomous voting rules
(2010-01)
In this paper we provide a general model of "quaternary" dichotomous voting rules (QVRs), namely, voting rules for making collective dichotomous decisions (to accept or reject a proposal), based on vote profiles in which ...
Information, stability and dynamics in networks under institutional constraints
(2010-07)
In this paper we study the effects of institutional constraints on stability, efficiency and network formation. More precisely, an exogenous "societal cover" consisting of a collection of possibly overlapping subsets that ...
Asymmetric flow networks
(Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, UPV-EHU, 2012-06-22)
This paper provides a new model of network formation that bridges the gap
between the two benchmark models by Bala and Goyal, the one-way flow model,
and the two-way flow model, and includes both as particular extreme ...
Optimal overall emissions taxation in durable goods oligopoly
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2012)
We analyze optimal second-best emission taxes in a durable good industry under imperfect competition. The analysis is performed for three different types of emissions and for situations where the good is rented, sold or ...
A Note on Risk Acceptance, Bankruptcy Avoidance and Riskiness Measures
(2013-09-30)
In this work we clarify the relationships between riskiness, risk acceptance and bankruptcy avoidance. We distinguish between the restriction on the current wealth required to make a gamble acceptable to the decision maker ...
A Unifying model of strategic network formation
(Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, UPV/EHU, 2015-02-17)
We provide a model that merges two basic models of strategic network formation and incorporates them as extreme cases: Jackson and Wolinsky' s connections model based on bilateral formation of links, and Bala and Goyal' s ...
Efficiency vs. Stability in a Mixed Network Formation Model
(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 ...
