Agglomeration of Creative Industries: an Intra-metropolitan Analysis for Barcelona
The aim of this paper is to analyse the spatial patterns of agglomeration and coagglomeration of Creative Industries (CIs) in the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona (MAB). We compare agglomeration patterns of CIs to non-creative ...
Tourist seasonality in Catalonia: The relevance of demand factors
Tourist seasonality is one of the main imbalances in the mass-destinations. This article seeks to provide more information on seasonality through an analysis of the situation in Catalonia, the most important Spanish ...
The number of parties and decision making in legislatures
This paper proposes a model of a legislature, formed by several parties, which have to vote for or against a certain bill in the presence of a lobbyist who is interested in a certain outcome of the vote. We show that the ...
Science and technology parks and firm growth
This paper aims to contribute to understanding the role played by Science and Technology Parks in fostering firm growth. Public policies have given such parks a central role but empirical research has not come to a consensus ...
Consistency distinguishes the (weighted) Shapley value, the (weighted) surplus division value and the prenucleolus
On the domain of cooperative games with transferable utility, we investigate how the main results in Hart and Mas-Colell (1989) vary when we replace self consistency by projected consistency or max consistency. As ...
On the existence of the Dutta-Ray’s egalitarian solution
A class of balanced games, called exact partition games, is introduced. Within this class, it is shown that the egalitarian solution of Dutta and Ray (1989) behaves as in the class of convex games. Moreover, we provide two ...
A Sequential Allocation Problem: The Asymptotic Distribution of Resources
In this paper, we consider a sequential allocation problem with n individuals. The first individual can consume any amount of a resource, leaving the remainder for the second individual, and so on. Motivated by the ...
On the invertibility of seasonally adjusted series
This paper examines the implications of the seasonal adjustment by an ARIMA model based (AMB) approach in the context of seasonal fractional integration. According to the AMB approach, if the model identified from the data ...
Partial tax harmonization through infrastructure coordination
In this article we analyze the role that infrastructure coordination plays to in achieving partial tax harmonization in a coalition of asymmetric jurisdictions. We find that infrastructure coordination with di¤erent ...
Searching for the ‘least’ and ‘most’ dictatorial rules
We derive a least dictatorial social choice function by specifying a plausible metric above the set of social choice functions. Measuring conformity by counting the number of cases a voter believes to be the dictator, we ...
New insights on empirical conflicting claims problems
The present paper analyses the between-context uniformity in conflicting claims problems (O'Neill, 1982) by means of a questionnaire study that has been expressly designed with the aim of combining the strengths and avoid ...
Changes in Energy Output in a Regional Economy: A Structural Decomposition Analysis
In the input-output literature, structural decomposition analysis (SDA) has largely been used to disentangle changes in key variables over time. This paper uses the demand-driven input-output model and proposes a simple ...
De la universidad al trabajo en tiempos de crisis: Experiencia, antigüedad y conocimientos adquiridos
Investigaciones recientes sugieren que las crisis económicas provocan un cambio en la función de demanda de trabajo de las empresas en favor de trabajadores con habilidades directamente productivas. Utilizando datos de la ...
Structural shocks and dinamic elasticities in a long memory model of the US gasoline retail market
A structural multivariate long memory model of the US gasoline market is employed to disentangle structural shocks and to estimate the own-price elasticity of gasoline demand. Our main empirical findings are: 1) there is ...
What are the social benefits of carbon sequestration?
The costs of reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions or their sequestration have received a great deal of attention. On the other hand, the benefits of the reduction or sequestration have been limited to avoided costs, ...
Is the Assumption of Linearity in Factor Models too Strong in Practice?
The assumption of linearity of factor models is implicit in all empirical applications used in macroeconomic analysis. We test this assumption in a more general setting than previously considered using a well-studied ...
The Variance-Frequency Decomposition as an Instrument for VAR Identification: an Application to Technology Shocks
Abstract: This paper proposes a new framework to study identification in structural VAR models. The framework is based on the variance-frequency decomposition and focuses on the contribution of the identified shock to the ...
Innovation success: What is the role of innovation strategies?
The objective of this paper is to explore the role played by firms' strategies during innovation process and its effects on innovation success. We argue that firm's innovative decisions not only concern how much innovation ...
Unilateral Effects Screens for Partial Horizontal Acquisitions: The Generalized HHI and GUPPI
Recent years have witnessed an increased interest, by competition agencies, in assessing the competitive effects of partial acquisitions. We propose a generalization to a partial horizontal acquisition setting of the two ...
Bounded Rationality and Correlated Equilibria
We study an interactive framework that explicitly allows for nonrational behavior. We do not place any restrictions on how players' behavior deviates from rationality. Instead we assume that there exists a probability p ...
