We introduce the concept of a paramaterized collection of games with side payments and determine a bound on epsilon so that all sufficiently large games in such a collection have non-emplty epsilon-cores. A parametrized collection of games is described by (a) the number of approximate player...

We introduce the concept of a parameterized collection of games with limited side payments, ruling out large transfers of utility. Under the assumption that the payoff set of the grand coalition is convex, we show that a large game with limited side payments has a non-empty epsilon-core. Our...

We present a new model of an economy with clubs, where players may belong to multiple clubs and where clubs may engage in a variety of club activities. The activities of each club may be unique to that club and may include provision of private goods, public goods, or simply covariance. Three...

We introduce the framework of parametrized collections of games and provide three nonemptiness of approximate core theorems for arbitrary games without (and with) sidepayments. The framework and theorems are sufficiently general to encompass results in the literature on nonemptiness of...

In this paper we analyze the long run effect of exogenous technological growth on the employment rate in a labor market with matching frictions when there is either individual or collective wage setting and different timing for setting wages, labor and capital. We obtain that the effect depends...

En este trabajo se construyen series anuales del nivel educativo de la población para España y sus regiones durante el período 1960-2011 utilizando la información que proporcionan los censos de población. Estas series actualizan y mejoran las elaboradas en de la Fuente y Doménech (2006).

This paper presents a cross validation method for selection of statistics for Approximate Bayesian Computing, and for related estimation methods such as the Method of Simulated Moments. The method uses simulated annealing to minimize the cross validation criterion over a combinatorial search...
