We investigate a version of the classic Colonel Blotto game in which individual battles may have different values. Two players allocate a fixed budget across battlefields and each battlefield is won by the player who ...
Semiparametric inference in correlated long memory signal plus noise models
(2010-04)
This paper proposes an extension of the log periodogram regression in perturbed long memory series that accounts for the added noise, also allowing for correlation between signal and noise, which represents a common situation ...
Oracles for audio chord estimation
(2012)
This paper explores how audio chord estimation could improve if information about chord boundaries or beat onsets is revealed by an oracle. Chord estimation at the frame level is compared with three simulations, each using ...
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

A manager/mechanism designer must allocate a set of money
prizes ($1, $2, .., $n) between n agents working in a team. The agents know

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 ...

En los últimos años, las Guías Clínicas basadas en la revisión sistemática de la evidencia científica se han convertido en un vehículo esencial para la transferencia efectiva del conocimiento médico a la atención primaria. ...
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 ...
