Spatial inequality, civil conflict and cells: a dynamic spatial probit approach
This study examines the link between spatial income inequality and civil conflict in Africa. To that end we extend traditional empirical models of conflict to account for both endogenous and exogenous spatial interaction ... -
Sticky prices, sticky wages, and also unemployment
This paper shows a New Keynesian model where wages are set at the value that matches household's labor supply with firm's labor demand. Subsequently, wage stickiness brings industry-level unemployment fluctuations. After ... -
Strategy-proof location of public facilities
Agents frequently have different opinions on where to locate a public facility. While some agents consider the facility a good and prefer to have it nearby, others dislike it and would like to see it built far away from ... -
A structural analysis of US entry and exit dynamics
The authors report empirical evidence indicating that US business formation has recently turned more volatile, procyclical and persistent due to changes in exit dynamics. To study these stylized facts, we estimate a DSGE ... -
A structural analysis of US entry and exit dynamics. Technical appendix
A. The optimizing programs of the model and other technical details (pages 1-7) B. Short-run and long-run equilibria in the DSGE model with endogenous entry and exit (pages 8-12) C. Average productivity (pages 13-15) D. ... -
Supply policies coordination in a monetary union
This paper examines how the member countries of a monetary union react to country-specific shocks and to shocks from the rest of the world, using supply-side policies. We develop a three-country model in which countries ... -
The term structure as a predictor of real economic growth: a general equilibrium approach
Consistent empirical evidence has recently been brought up about the forecasting ability of the term estructure of nominal interes rates, relative to future economic activity. However, there has not been chch work that ... -
Territorial mobility: a measuring proposal
As a contribution to the study of intradistributional mobility, this paper introduces a family of functions whose usefulness as mobility measures is justified by different theoretical results. Indeed, as a particular case, ... -
A theory of choice under internal conflict
In this paper we discuss, inspired by some psychological literature, that choices are the outcome of the interplay of different, potentially conflicting motivations. We propose an axiomatic approach with two motivations, ... -
A theory of reference dependent behavior
There is extensive field and experimental evidence in a wide variety of environments showing that behavior depends on a reference point. This paper provides an axiomatic characterization for such behavior. Our approach is ... -
Theory on economic development: from growth of wealth to expansion of freedom
In Economic Theory, development is the topic, which delves into human welfare. Its aim is linked to welfare expansion in the context of regions. In this working paper, I am assuming that aims and strategies of development ... -
There was monetary autonomy in Europe on the eve of EMU? The German dominance hypothesis reexamined
In this paper we re-examine the German dominance hypothesis, as a way to assess whether the loss of monetary autonomy in Europe associated with EMU had been significant. We use Granger-causality tests between the interest ... -
¿Trabajar en ocupaciones `femeninas´ reduce los salarios?

En este artículo se aborda el trabajo de presos y prisioneros de guerra en la ampliación y reconstrucción de vías férreas durante la guerra civil española y la dictadura franquista. En una primera parte se presentan los ... -
Trade-offs in health investments: HIV, malaria and malnutrition
While life expectancy has increased worldwide during the last decades, the developing world is still losing millions of lives each year due to three pervasive illnesses: Malaria, HIV and Chronic Malnutrition. This work ... -
Transitional dynamics in an R&D-based growth model with imitation: comparing its predictions to the data
Employing cross-country data, this paper evaluates the transitional dynamics predictions of a non-scale growth model of endogenous technology innovation and imitation. We show that, unlike the neoclassical growth framework, ... -
Uncertainty with ordinal likelihood information
This paper proposes a new framework of choice under uncertainty, where the only information available to the decision maker is about the the ordinal likelihood of the different outcomes each action generates. This contrasts ... -
Understanding soft commitment: evidence from a field experiment on recycling
Taking advantage of a card-scanning system that records individual, real-time data on the use of bio-waste sorting bins, we run a randomized field experiment to analyze the effectiveness of soft commitments in promoting ... -
Using bayesian techniques to build up an inconsistency free health status index
Objectives: 1-To obtain a set of values of health states of the EQ-5D based on self-related health VAS using linear and non- linear models Bayesian techniques. 2 - To analyse “logical consistency” in different models and ... -
