    Range Unit Root (RUR) Tests: Robust against Nonlinearities, Error Distributions, Structural Breaks and Outliers

    Since the seminal paper by Dickey and Fuller in 1979, unit-root tests have conditioned the standard approaches to analysing time series with strong serial dependence in mean behaviour, the focus being placed on the detection of eventual unit roots in an autoregressive model fitted to the series. In this paper, we propose a completely different method to test for the type of long-wave patterns observed not only in unit-root time series but also in series following more complex data-generating mechanisms. To this end, our testing device analyses the unit-root persistence exhibited by the data while imposing very few constraints on the generating mechanism. We call our device the range unit-root (RUR) test since it is constructed from the running ranges of the series from which we derive its limit distribution. These nonparametric statistics endow the test with a number of desirable properties, the invariance to monotonic transformations of the series and the robustness to the presence of important parameter shifts. Moreover, the RUR test outperforms the power of standard unit-root tests on near-unit-root stationary time series; it is invariant with respect to the innovations distribution and asymptotically immune to noise. An extension of the RUR test, called the forward?backward range unit-root (FB-RUR) improves the check in the presence of additive outliers. Finally, we illustrate the performances of both range tests and their discrepancies with the Dickey?Fuller unit-root test on exchange rate series.Publicad

    Glycine, the simplest aminoacid, has been detected in comets and meteorites in our Solar System. Its detection in the interstellar medium is not improbable since other organic molecules of comparable complexity have been observedfootnote{E. Herbst and E. F. van Dishoeck, Annu. Rev. Astro. Astrophys. 2009, 47:427-480}. Information of how complex organic molecules resist the energetic processing that they may suffer in different regions of space is of great interest for astrochemists and astrobiologists. Further to previous investigationsfootnote{B. Mat'{e}, Y. Rodriguez-Lazcano, O. G'{a}lvez, I. Tanarro and R. Escribano, Phys Chem Chem Phys, 2011, 13, 12268. B. Mat'{e}, I. Tanarro, M.A. Moreno, M. Jim'{e}nez-Redondo, R. Escribano, and V. J. Herrero, Faraday Discussions, 2014, DOI: 10.1039/c3fd00132f.} we have studied in this work, via infrared spectroscopy, the effect of 2 keV electron bombardment on amorphous and crystalline glycine layers at low temperatures, to determine its destruction cross section under astrophysical conditions. Energetic electrons are known to be present in the solar wind and in planetary magnetospheres, and are also formed in the interaction of cosmic rays with matter. Moreover, we have probed the shielding effect of water ice layers grown on top of the glycine samples at 90 K. These experiment aim to mimic the conditions of the aminoacid in ice mantles on dust grains in the interstellar medium or in some outer Solar System objects, with a water ice surface crust. A residual material, product of glycine decomposition, was found at the end of the processing. A tentative assignment of the infrared spectra of the residue will be discussed in the presentation.Made available in DSpace on 2016-01-05T20:01:59Z (GMT).

    This article joins the author´s, edition of the Lamentat1ons of Juan Ecribano published by Editorial Alpueto. Data includes biographical offeringis the musical production of the papal singer and the traditional lamentation monody sung during Holy Week as well as polyphonic versions by other Spanish sixteenth-century composers. ln Escribano´s version, the predominance of horizontal polyphony wilh homorhythmic accompaniment is noted. especially in the extremely expressive Plorans ploravit of Lamenation 1.Es un adelanto de la edición que el autor del artículo publica sobre las lamentacione de Juan Escribano en la Editorial Alpuerto. Se aportan datos sobre la biografía y producción musical del cantor pontificio para describirse luego el canto monódico tradicional de las lamentaciones del Oficio de Tinieblas de la Semana Santa y sus versiones polifónicas realizadas por compositores españoles del siglo XVl. En la música de las de Escribano se advierte un predominio de la homorritmia sobre la polifonía horizontal. especialmente expresiva en el Plorans ploravit de la Lamentación l

    The book that the reader has in his hands is a study on the process of evolution of the institution of the public scribe of the Council and its transformation into the Town Hall secretary in the 19th century, as well as the evolution of these civil servants until the disappearance of the national public servants of Local Administration and their reconversion into the current civil servants of Local Administration with national qualification. If there is one thing that, over and above the differences between the medieval council clerk and the liberal municipal secretary, both institutions share, it is their central position in the local bureaucracy and the fact that they are depositaries of public faith, which makes them an essential part of the municipal administrative machinery. The author has paid special attention to the main works of historians and jurists who have tackled the study of this institution, attempting to systematise them and identifying future lines of research.PublishedEl libro que el lector tiene en sus manos es un estudio sobre el proceso de evolución de la institución del escribano público del Concejo y su transformación en el secretario de Ayuntamiento, ya en el siglo XIX, así como la evolución de estos funcionarios hasta la desaparición de los Cuerpos Nacionales de Administración Local y su reconversión en los actuales funcionarios de Administración local con habilitación de carácter nacional. Si hay algo que, por encima de las diferencias existentes entre el escribano del Concejo medieval y el secretario municipal liberal, comparten ambas instituciones, es su posición central en la burocracia local y el hecho de ser depositarios de la fe pública, los convierte en pieza esencial de toda la maquinaria administrativa municipal. El autor ha prestado especial atención a los principales trabajos de historiadores y juristas que han abordado el estudio de esta institución, procurando su sistematización e identificando futuras líneas de investigación

    L'écriture poétique de Mariluz Escribano Pueo, entre invisibilité et visibilité

    No full text
    International audienceMariluz Escribano Pueo (1935-2019) is a poet who is virtually unknown in France, but who has been much appreciated and studied in Spain since 2000. In 2022, her complete works were published by Cátedra, with a comprehensive introduction by Remedios Sánchez. Her poetic work, which comprises six collections and four anthologies, offers its own ways of representing both individual and collective reality. The late nature of his publications, which range from Sonetos del alba in 1991 to Geografía de la memoria in 2018, does not correspond to the usual image of an author whose work unfolds from a young age. In fact, as Remedios Sánchez and other specialists explain, the context of the civil war and its aftermath had a strong impact on his life trajectory and consequently on his poetry, delaying not only his writing but also the publication of his first poems.Mariluz Escribano Pueo (1935-2019) est une poète quasiment inconnue en France, mais très appréciée et étudiée en Espagne depuis les années 2000 notamment . En 2022 a été publiée son œuvre complète chez Cátedra , assortie d’une riche présentation de Remedios Sánchez. L’œuvre poétique, qui compte six recueils et quatre anthologies , offre des modalités propres de représentation d’une réalité tant individuelle que collective. Le caractère tardif de ses publications qui s’étendent de Sonetos del alba en 1991 à Geografía de la memoria en 2018, ne correspond pas à l’image usuelle d’un auteur dont l’œuvre se déploie à partir de son jeune âge. En effet, comme l’expliquent Remedios Sánchez et d’autres spécialistes, le contexte de la guerre civile et de ses suites marque fortement sa trajectoire vitale et par suite sa poésie, en retardant le moment non seulement de l’écriture, mais aussi celui de la publication de ses premiers poèmes

    La expresión del compromiso político del Deán López Cepero en sus Lecciones políticas y en su Catecismo religioso, moral y político

    Enlightened and liberal, the priest native of Jerez de la Frontera Manuel López Cepero is a figure emphasized in the cultural and literary context that will take part actively in the political life of the first third of the 19th century, faced so much antimonarchic revolutionaries as to frenchified, lukewarm before the usurpation of the legitimate power. Fruit of his political commitment with his mother land and in this first propaganda line that the catechisms and primers suppose for the people, publishes a few Lecciones políticas (1813) and one Catecismo religioso, moral y político (1821) with the aim of the political indoctrination of the youth in the new revolutionary ideas of the Constitution of Cádiz. The temporary separation of both texts determines both his structure and the expression of the content and bears witness to the ideological moderation of the author, imposed by the circumstances of the moment, more political and involved in the defense of the new constitutional regime expressed for extensively in the Lessons, more civil and illustrated and more concise in the recollection of the rules constitutionalists in the CatechismIlustrado y liberal, el sacerdote jerezano Manuel López Cepero es una figura destacada en el contexto cultural y literario que participará activamente en la vida política del primer tercio del siglo XIX, enfrentado tanto a revolucionarios antimonárquicos como a los afrancesados, tibios ante la usurpación del poder legítimo. Fruto de su compromiso político con su patria y en esa primera línea propagandística que suponen los catecismos y cartillas para el pueblo, publica unas Lecciones políticas (1813) y un Catecismo religioso, moral y político (1821) con el objetivo del adoctrinamiento político de la juventud en las nuevas ideas revolucionarias de la Constitución de Cádiz. La separación temporal de ambos textos condiciona tanto su estructura como la expresión del contenido y testimonia la moderación ideológica del autor, impuesta por las circunstancias del momento, más político e involucrado en la defensa del nuevo régimen constitucional expresado por extenso en las Lecciones, más civil e ilustrado y más conciso en el recuerdo de los preceptos constitucionalistas en el Catecismo

    Rationality in the joint allocation of private and public goods.

    This paper presents an extension of "collective models" that rationalize household demands as efficient allocations, allowing for the joint allocation of public and private goods. Starting from the problem of efficiency, and adding a separability assumption between public goods and exclusive private goods, we obtain two results. Firstly, we find some new restrictions upon the derivatives of the demand functions. Secondly, we predict how the sharing of household expenditures between the man and the woman changes when the exclusive good's prices changes, and we measure the effect of the consumption of public goods on this change.Collective choice; Public goods; Separability;

    Learning with bounded memory.

    The paper studies infinite repetition of finite strategic form games. Players use a learning behavior and face bounds on their cognitive capacities. We show that for any given beliefprobability over the set of possible outcomes where players have no experience. games can be payoff classified and there always exists a stationary state in the space of action profiles. In particular, if the belief-probability assumes all possible outcomes without experience to be equally likely, in one class of Prisoners' Dilemmas where the average defecting payoff is higher than the cooperative payoff and the average cooperative payoff is lower than the defecting payoff, play converges in the long run to the static Nash equilibrium while in the other class of Prisoners' Dilemmas where the reserve holds, play converges to cooperation. Results are applied to a large class of 2 x 2 games.Cognitive complexity; Bounded logistic quantal response learning; Long run outcomes;
