We consider the role of the endogenous choice of platform quality in a broadcasting duopoly market where competing media platforms choose also their level of advertising. We compare the equilibrium levels of quality, advertising and welfare under private and mixed duopoly competition. We show...

This paper assumes that firms can create independent divisions which compete in a market where the product is spatially differentiated. Our first result is that if the number of firms is exogenous and higher than some critical level, then Perfect Competition is the only Subgarne Perfect...

In this paper we study the optimal trade policy in an oligopolistic market with a given number of quantity-setter firms. It is shown that under no fixed costs, the optimal trade policy displays certain characteristics but under fixed costs most of these characteristics no Longer hold.

In this paper, we assume that firms can create independent divisions which compete in quantities in a homogeneous good market. Assuming complete information, identical firms and constant returns to scale, we prove the following: 1) Subgame Perfect Nash Equilibrium (SPNE) implies Perfect...

The analysis of the determinants of the individual wage income can be transfered to the total domestic income from the point of view of the human capital. This paper analyzes the effects that a group of variables, relative to sociodemographic and labour attributes, exerts on the total income...

This paper carries out a household classification in the framework of the Social Accounting Matrix. Bearing in mind the enlargeinent proposals of the National Accounts System of the United Nations, a first classification of Spanish households in accordance with certain demographic...

This paper implements the conceptual framework sketched by Pyatt (1990) to construct an extended Social Accounting Matrix for Spain in 1995 (ESAM-95) to consider, in addition to the market economy, the production of services provided by households through unpaid work. In doing so, the ESAM-95...
