ASSET MARKETS AND EQUILIBRIUM SELECTION IN PUBLIC GOODS GAMES WITH PROVISION POINTS: AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY
2001
We report experimental results on the effects that auctioning the right to play a public goods game with a provision point may have on equilibrium selection and individual behavior. Auctioning off such a right among a larger population of players strikingly enhances public good provision. Once public good provision is obtained, the auction price at the preliminary stage increases to its upper limit, dissipating all players’ gains associated with the provision of the public good. Individual deviations from the equilibrium strategy are neither able to force lower market prices nor to affect provision of the public good in subsequent periods. (JEL C72, C92, H41) I. INTRODUCTION Public good pro…
Time-varying conditional correlation : effect on international portfolio diversification in Southeast Asia
2017
Tämä tutkimus tarkastelee USA:n ja valittujen Kaakkois-Aasian kehittyvien maiden markkinoita; Philippiinejä, Indonesiaa, Malesiaa ja Thaimaata. Tutkimus antaa tuloksia sekä USA:n että indonesialaisen sijoittajan näkökulmasta. Merkittävä rooli tutkimuksessa on ajassa muuttuvan korrelaation havainnollistamisessa osakeindeksien välillä käyttäen apuna Englen vuonna 2002 esittelemää DCC-GARCH mallia. Tutkimuksessa käytetty data on vuodesta 1988 vuoteen 2015 saakka. Tulokset paljastavat kuinka valittujen osakemarkkinoiden välinen korrelaatio on muuttunut kolmen kriisin - Aasian kriisin, teknologiakuplan ja globaali talouskriisin - myötä ja onko muutos ollut pysyvää vai ei. Lisäksi tutkimuksessa t…
La ciudad y la huerta.
2005
The disappearance of the agrarian landscape ln the huerta of Valencia has been accelerated in the last years as a consequence of the advance on the disordered urbanization. This has given place to both a civic movement and a growing attention from investigators of diverse areas. The present article is a review of the recent publications about this topic. The text stands out the peculiar features of this agrarian space as well as the process of its historical formation. The arguments for the preservation of the huerta are mainly based in their ecological and cultural values. Also in the rich material patrimony that the irrigation and agricultural practices have left on the land. One of the m…

Barcelona’s Urban Markets; I mercati urbani di Barcellona
2016
I mercati non sono solo potenti dinamizzatori dell’economia urbana come luoghi del commercio di prossimità, dell’occupazione e dell’imprenditorialità, ma svolgono un importante ruolo di aggregazione sociale e di promozione culturale che concorre ai processi di rigenerazione urbana. Ben consapevole di tali funzioni, l’Ajuntament de Barcelona ha istituito nel 1991 un organismo autonomo per la gestione diretta e l’amministrazione dei mercati di Barcellona, l’IMMB (Institut Municipal de Mercats de Barcelona), che provvede anche alla modernizzazione dei mercati attraverso il miglioramento delle infrastrutture e dei servizi alla persona, l’adeguamento dell’offerta merceologica in base alle nuove …

AbstractIn emerging markets, instances of increasing consumers focus on ethical aspects of the product are observed. To this end, we aim to examine the influence of two ethical certifications and two product involvement types on consumers willingness to purchase ethical products at price premiums in the Indian market. No animal cruelty certification and no child labor certification are chosen as the ethical certifications, and a shirt and a bar of soap are chosen as high and low involvement product categories. Data is collected from 206 respondents for the experiment, in which consumers willingness to purchase a product is evaluated for different product scenarios. The results of the study …
The impact of COVID ‐19 on franchising in emerging markets: An example from Brazil
