Discounting future pain: Effects on self-reported pain
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2010-07)
Empirical results are presented showing that people who acknowledge pain anticipation when expecting an injury experience higher sensitivity to pain (GREP, Robinson et al., 2001). The positive correlation between sensitivity ...
Time discounting (delta) and pain anticipation: Experimental evidence
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2010-11)
This paper deals with pain anticipation experienced before medical procedures. Our experimental results show that individuals with lower discount factors are more prone to suffer pain in advance. We provide a framework to ...
Learning Bayesian network classifiers for multidimensional supervised classification problems by means of a multiobjective approach
(2010)
A classical supervised classification task tries to predict a single class variable based on a data set composed of a set of labeled examples. However, in many real domains more than one variable could be considered as a ...
A Preprocessing Procedure for Haplotype Inference by Pure Parsimony
(2010)
Haplotype data is especially important in the study of complex diseases
since it contains more information than genotype data. However,
obtaining haplotype data is technically difficult and expensive. Computational
methods ...
New Keynesian Model Features that Can Reproduce Lead, Lag and Persistence Patterns
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2010-04)
This paper uses a new method for describing dynamic comovement and persistence in economic time series which builds on the contemporaneous forecast error method developed in den Haan (2000). This data description method ...
On the Informational Role of Term Structure in the U.S. Monetary Policy Rule
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2010-01)
This paper uses a structural approach based on the indirect inference principle to estimate a standard version of the new Keynesian monetary (NKM) model augmented with term structure using both revised and real-time data. ...
Unions, Monetary Shocks and the Labour Market Cycle
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2010-02)
This paper provides a new growth model by considering strategic behaviour in the supply of labour. Workers form a labour union with the aim of manipulating wages in their own benefit. We analyse the implications on labor ...
Using discrete choice experiments for environmental valuation
(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 ...
Prices and the Real Exchange Rate in Hong Kong: 1985-2006
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2010-11)
This paper seeks to quantify to the extent to which price dynamics in Hong Kong are due to the Balassa-Samuelson hypothesis. From 1985 to 1998, the CPI in Hong Kong increased spectacularly, yet there was dramatic deflation ...
