An analysis of the trade balance for OECD countries using periodic integration and cointegration
Springer Berlin Heidelberg (2015)We analyze imbalances in external accounts that have historically affected most developed countries. The purpose of this study was to shed some light on the sustainability of the current account for a group of OECD countries ... -
An approach to identifying micro behavior: How banks’ strategies influence financial cycles
Elsevier (2018-12)In this paper, we show that the values of parameters of a well-calibrated model are useful in detecting micro behavior. We use a calibration procedure suitable for validating agent-based models to show how the evolution ...

An experiment on Prisoner’s Dilemma with confirmed proposals
Elsevier (2013)We suggest an alternating proposals protocol with a confirmation stage as a way of solving a Prisoner’s Dilemma game. We interpret players’ proposals and (no) confirmation of outcomes of the game as a tacit communication ...

An experiment on spatial competition with endogenous pricing
Elsevier (2011)Hotelling's (1929) principle of minimum differentiation and the alternative prediction that firms will maximally differentiate from their rivals in order to relax price competition have not been explicitly tested so far. ...

An experimental analysis of the effects of imperfect compliance on technology adoption
Springer (2021)We present the results of an experimental investigation on incentives to adopt cleaner abatement technologies in the presence of imperfect compliance. We consider two emission control instruments—emission taxes and tradable ...

An experimental investigation of insurance decisions in low probability and high loss risk situations
Springer Berlin Heidelberg (2014-04)This experimental study investigates insurance decisions in low-probability, high-loss risk situations. Results indicate that subjects consider the probability of loss (loss size) when they make buying decisions (paying ...

An experimental study on the effect of co-payment in public services
Elsevier (2016-08-08)This paper aims to shed light on the impacts of imposing co-payment on public services, a strategy increasingly employed in the realm of publicly provided healthcare. We analyze the effect of imposing a charge for the ...

Analyzing discrepancies between willingness to pay and willingness to accept for freight transport attributes
Elsevier (2016)In this paper we use discrete choice data to analyze asymmetries in the preference for freight transport attributes. A reference dependent utility specification allowed us to test for the existence of substantial asymmetries ...

Anatomy of a Stablecoin’s failure: The Terra-Luna case
Elsevier (2023)We quantitatively describe the main events that led to the Terra project’s failure in May 2022. We first review, in a systematic way, news from heterogeneous social media sources; we discuss the fragility of the Terra ...

Anchoring on Utopia: a generalization of the Kalai-Smorodinsky solution
Springer (2017-11-04)Many bargaining solutions anchor on disagreement, allocating gains with respect to the worst-case scenario. We propose here a solution anchoring on utopia (the ideal, maximal aspirations for all agents), but yielding ...

Approximation of integration maps of vector measures and limit representations of Banach function spaces
Polskiej Akademii Nauk, Instytut Matematyczny (2017)We study whether or not the integration maps of vector measures can be computed as pointwise limits of their finite rank Radon Nikodym derivatives. The positive cases are obtained by using the circle of ideas related to ...

Are bygones bygones?
Springer US (2012-08)This article reports an experiment which tests the principle of separability, i.e. that behaviour in a dynamic choice problem is independent of history and of unreachable eventualities. Although this is a well-known principle ...
