Subjective income expectations and income risk / Ramos Morilla, Xavier (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament d'Economia Aplicada) ; Schluter, Christian (University of Southampton)
In the context of income dynamics, we investigate whether aspects of agents' superior information relative to the econometrician's limited information are captured in subjective expectations data. It is natural, for instance, to assume that the econometrician cannot observe idiosyncratic shocks to both permanent and transitory components of income. [...]

Inequality aversion and risk attitudes / Ramos Morilla, Xavier (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament d'Economia Aplicada) ; Ferrer-i-Carbonell, Ada (Institut d'Anàlisi Econòmica)
Using self reported measures of life satisfaction and risk attitudes, we empirically test whether there is a relationship between individuals inequality and risk aversion. The empirical analysis uses the German SOEP household panel for the years 1997 to 2007 to conclude that the negative effect of inequality measured by the sample gini coefficient by year and federal state is larger for those individuals who report to be less willing to take risks. [...]

Institutional Persistence and Economic Performance in the long-run / López Velásquez, Francisco José ; Kyriacou, Andreas, dir. ; Ramos Morilla, Xavier ; Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament d'Economia Aplicada
Esta tesis es un esfuerzo para obtener una mejor comprensión sobre las causas y mecanismos que explican la persistencia institucional. Aunque varios estudios de sección-cruzada relacionan la persistencia institucional a las condiciones iniciales, y por medio de estas, a los equilibrios que dichas situaciones primigenias crearon, hasta el momento, ningún trabajo ha vinculado firmemente la asociación entre la longevidad o duración de una institución como manifestación de su persistencia. [...]
This thesis is an attempt to gain a better understanding of the causes and mechanisms explaining institutional persistence. So far, three main mechanisms appear to shape the persistence of an institution: geography, culture and history. [...]

Essays on equality of opportunity / Sapata, Christelle ; Ramos Morilla, Xavier, dir. (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament d'Economia Aplicada) ; Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament d'Economia Aplicada
La teoría de la igualdad de oportunidad permite justificar algunas desigualdades: las desigualdades generadas por factores por el cual el individuo es responsable (llamados esfuerzo) son justas y no dan lugar a redistribución. [...]
