Seminario 26/03 – Nicholas Wong (Newcastle Business School) – Network-Enabled Responses to Deglobalization: Examining How Firms Strategize During Eras of Global Disruption

network_2

Abstract: Recent research has shown how cycles of globalization and deglobalization can disrupt firms and networks. Understanding this process requires a historical perspective on how firms and networks coordinate, strategize, and respond to the effects of deglobalization. This paper examines firm-level, network-enabled strategic responses to deglobalization by analysing a selection of key firms operating within…

Seminario 26/01 – Francisco Alcalá (IVIE y CEPR) – Remembered happiness, lingering utility, and the Epicurean homo oeconomicus

consumption

Abstract: Consumption experiences generate enduring satisfaction (or dissatisfaction) that persists beyond the moment of consumption. This paper analyzes the rational behavior of individuals who anticipate this lasting impact and the cognitive limitations that shape memories–i.e, the peak-end rule, as documented by Daniel Kahneman and coauthors. The peak rule gives rise to non-smooth consumption trajectories characterized…

Seminario 25/07 – Celia Jiménez-Piqueras (Technical University of Denmark) – Resolución de problemas combinatorios con Constraint Programming

premarshalling

La programación por restricciones o constraint programming es una técnica de resolución de problemas surgida en el ámbito de la programación lógica, que ha demostrado su eficacia en problemas combinatorios difíciles de resolver mediante métodos clásicos como la programación matemática. Destaca especialmente en problemas de secuenciación, asignación, planificación y otros problemas logísticos. En esta charla,…

Seminario 25/06 – Ismael Rodríguez Lara (Universidad de Málaga y Economic Science Institute (ESI) – Chapman University): Gender Stereotypes and Homophily in Team Formation

teamwork-4338944_1280

Women often find themselves in teams that hinder their productivity and earnings. We analyze the role of homophily and gender stereotypes in preferences for team formation and examine the effect of information on changing these preferences. We find that women are expected to perform better in female-type tasks (such as text and emotion-recognition). However, people…

Who’s the deceiver? Identifying deceptive intentions in communication. Recognizing people’s deceptive intentions when communicating is crucial to detect statements that may drive us to unintended harmful decisions. This paper studies individuals’ intentions in games where players can tell the truth with deceiving purposes. In a preregistered experiment, we combine a sender-receiver game with possible strategic…

Seminario 25/04 – Lorena Garcia Alonso (Universidad de Oviedo): Competencia interportuaria: delimitación y análisis del área de influencia de los puertos

puerto

Más de cuatro quintas partes del comercio internacional se canalizan vía marítima, lo que convierte al transporte marítimo en una pieza clave para el correcto funcionamiento de la economía mundial. Del mismo modo, el transporte marítimo no sería posible sin la existencia de la infraestructura portuaria, lo que convierte a estas instalaciones en un elemento…

Seminario 25/02- Eleonora Vitanza (Università degli Studi di Siena): A Markovian Model of Emotion Dynamics

smiley

Abstract: In this paper, we introduce a novel Markovian model that describes the impact of egosyntonicity on emotion dynamics. We focus on the dominant current emotion, and describe the time evolution of its valence, modeled as a binary variable, where 0 and 1 correspond to negative and positive valences, respectively. In particular, the one-step transition…

Seminario 25/01 – Iván Vicente (Universidad de Valencia): Gender roles and Socioeconomic Disparities in Early School Leaving: Evidence from EU-SILC Microdata

pencils

Abstract: Early school leaving presents significant disparities, closely tied to observable characteristics such as gender and socioeconomic status (SES). This study examines the complex interplay between these factors using EU-SILC micro-data from 28 EU countries, covering the period from 2011 to 2019. Through logistic regression analyses, we uncover a non-linear relationship between gender and SES,…
