This paper investigates wage dynamics assuming the potential presence of dual wage stickiness: with respect to both the frequency as well as the size of wage adjustments. In particular, this paper proposes a structural model of wage inflation dynamics assuming that although workers adjust wage...

In this paper we propose an economic model for the optimum allocation of water within a given area with the following features. First, the introduction of the institutional, geographical and time scheme under which the water rights are granted. Secondly, the establishment of a modelling...
