Doubly fractional models for dynamic heteroskedastic cycles
(2011-02)
Strong persistence is a common phenomenon that has been documented not only in the levels but also in the volatility of many time series. The class of doubly fractional models is extended to include the possibility of long ...
Selectivity, pulse fishing and endogenous lifespan in Beverton-Holt models
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2012)
Optimal management in a multi-cohort Beverton-Holt model with any number of age classes and imperfect selectivity is equivalent to finding the optimal fish lifespan by chosen fallow cycles. Optimal policy differs in two ...
Full Implementation of Rank Dependent Prizes
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2012)
A manager/mechanism designer must allocate a set of money
prizes ($1, $2, .., $n) between n agents working in a team. The agents know
the state i.e. who contributed most, second most, etc. The agents' prefer-
ences over ...
Competitive Pressure and Job Interview Lying: A Game Theoretical Analysis
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2012)
We consider a job contest in which candidates go through
interviews (cheap talk) and are subject to reference checks. We show how
competitive pressure - increasing the ratio of "good" to "bad" type candi-
dates - can ...
Can the change in the composition of the US GDP explain the Great Moderation? A test via oil price shocks
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2012)
The paper investigates whether the growing GDP share of the services sector can contribute to explain the great moderation in the US. We identify and analyze three oil price shocks and use a SVAR analysis to measure their ...
Consumption and portfolio rules whit stochastic hyperbolic discounting
(Departamento de Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, 2013-09)
We extend the classic Merton (1969, 1971) problem that investigates the joint consumption-savings and portfolio-selection problem under capital risk by assuming sophisticated but time-inconsistent agents. We introduce ...
Approximate knowledge of rationality and correlated equilibria
(Departamento de fundamentos del análisis económico I, 2012-07-16)
We extend Aumann's [3] theorem deriving correlated equilibria as a consequence of common priors and common knowledge of rationality by explicitly allowing for non-rational behavior. We replace the
assumption of common ...
Music-Theoretic Estimation of Chords and Keys from Audio
(2012)
This paper proposes a new method for local key and chord estimation from audio signals. This method relies primarily on principles from music theory, and does not require any training on a corpus of labelled audio files. ...
Reference Points Based on Dynamic Optimisation: A Versatil Algorithm for Mixed Fishery Management with Bio-economic Agestructured Models
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2012)
Single-species management objectives may not be consistent within mixed fisheries. They may lead species to unsafe situations, promote discarding of over-quota and/or misreporting of catches. We provide an algorithm for ...
Reconciling yield stability with international fisheries agencies precautionary preferences: the role of non constant discount factors in age structured models
(2015)
International fisheries agencies recommend exploitation paths that satisfy two features. First, for precautionary reasons exploitation paths should avoid high fishing mortality in those fisheries where the biomass is ...
