This paper develops a multi-criteria methodology to simulate irrigation water markets at basin level. For this purpose it is assumed that irrigators try to optimise personal multi-attribute utility functions via their productive decision making process (crop mix), subject to a set of constraints...

Regional infrastructures policies, through an increased public investment, are widely used to promote the development of poorer regions in the European countries. In this paper we try to find some evidence on the optimality in the provision of government capital for the case of the Spanish...

In this paper we provide an empirical test of the Fisher effect using cointegration techniques, where the existence of instabilities in the cointegrating or long-run relationships is explicitly tested. The analysis was applied to the UK, a country that has been subject to potentially stronger...

The aim of this investigation is to analyze theoretically how a marriage make their decisions and what are the implications on significative variables, such as fertility rate and labor supply of the members. So, we design a simple familiar decision model under four different approaches:...

The aim of this work is to demonstrate the relationships between an economy’s productive sectors and the water consumption generated during productive processes. The methodology used is a water input-output model. We obtain this model combining the Leontief’s model and the Proops’ energy...

En este trabajo analizamos, en primer lugar, los datos publicados en la Estadística de Empleo del INEM, y las posibilidades y problemas que plantea su utilización en los estudios sobre el mercado de trabajo español basados en el enfoque de flujos. Utilizando estos datos realizamos varias...

Social accounting matrices are an instrument that allow us to enlarge information provided by the input-output analysis when studying the intersectorial relationships of an economy, the behavior of consumers, the public sector or the foreign sector; while being able to complete the income flow...

El objetivo de este trabajo ha sido, por un lado, presentar la evolución territorial del crecimiento económico a partir de la contrastación de la hipótesis planteada por la Nueva Geografía Económica referida a la localización espacial de actividades empresariales en las regiones...

Global bargaining problems over a finite number of different issues, are formalized as cartesian products of classical bargaining problems. For maximin and leximin bargainers we characterize global bargaining solutions that are efficient and satisfy the requirement that bargaining separately or...
