Comparing the psychometric properties of the EQ-5D-5L between mental and somatic chronic patients populations
The validity and reliability of the EQ-5D-5L in comparison with the standard 3L has been tested through the analysis of psychometric properties making use of different samples of patients. However, it is likely that the ... -
The diffusion of pay for performance across occupations
In this paper the differences in the incidence of pay for performance plans between occupations in a sample of Spanish manufacturing establishments are analysed. Our results show that there are significant differences ... -

Estimation of the cointegrating rank in fractional cointegration
This paper proposes an estimator of the cointegrating rank of a potentially cointegrated multivariate fractional process. Our setting is very flexible, allowing the individual observable processes to have different integration ... -
Lorenz and lexicographic maximal allocations for bankruptcy problems
This paper investigates the use of egalitarian criteria to select allocations in bankruptcy problems. In our work, we characterize the sets of Lorenz maximal elements for these problems. We show that the allocation selected ... -
A simple test for the equality of integration orders
A necessary condition for two time series to be nontrivially cointegrated is the equality of their respective integration orders. Thus, it is standard practice to test for order homogeneity prior to testing for cointegration. ... -
A theory of choice under internal conflict

Firm entry under financial frictions
Introducing both endogenous firm entry and a requirement for external finance in a general-equilibrium model leads to three main results. First, the financial constraint has contractionary effects on both equity investment ... -
Non anonymous ballot aggregation: an axiomatic generalization of Approval Voting
