Conditioning competitive behaviour in experimental Bertrand markets through contextual frames
(Elsevier, 2023)Explaining framing effects is one of the main challenges faced by decision theories. This research experimentally examines how different contextual frames influence competitive behaviour in a Bertrand duopoly game (repeatedly ... -
The circular economy and the optimal recycling rate: a macroeconomic approach

Weighted weak-type iterated and bilinear Hardy inequalities
(Elsevier, 2023)We characterize the good weights for a certain weighted weak-type iterated Hardy inequality to hold. As a consequence, we get the characterizations of some weighted weak-type bilinear Hardy inequalities. -
On the control of competitive balance in the major European football leagues
(Wiley, 2022-10-17)Authorities in the economic field (European Commission and US Federal Trade Commission) focus on the level of market concentration and establish limits in order to promote competition. However, sports authorities do not ... -
Maritime Transport in the Spanish Economy in the Decades of Consolidation of Democracy (1975–1995)

Sankey diagrams for macroeconomics: A teaching complement bridging undergraduate and graduate Macro
(Wiley, 2022-09-09)Background The diagnosis of allergic reactions to penicillins (AR-PEN) is very complex as there is a loss of sensitization over time, which leads to negative skin tests (STs) and specific IgE in serum, and even to tolerance ... -

Learning by doing, organizational forgetting, and the business cycle
(Wiley, 2022-05-03)This paper supplements a learning-by-doing real busi-ness cycle model with endogenous organizational for-getting. Empirical evidence shows that the accumulatedexperience decay rate is not constant over the busi-ness cycle, ... -
The minimal Hilbert basis of the Hammond order cone
(Springer, 2022-07-11)We characterize the minimal Hilbert basis of the Hammond order cone, and present several novel applications of the resulting basis. From the basis, we extract an invertible matrix, that provides a numerical representation ... -
