In this paper we revisit the results that appeared originally in Coloma (2017) about the possible existence of negative correlation between linguistic measures, using a new database of 80 languages for which we have the same text (which is the fable known as "The North Wind and the Sun"). Most...

In this paper we develop a statistical model of language complexity trade-offs using four typological measures (related to phonology, morphology, syntax and lexicon). The data come from the 100-language sample that appears in the World Atlas of Language Structures (WALS), and the trade-offs are...

This paper analyzes the behavior of the Argentine hamburger market during the period 2013-2018, to see if an important merger that occurred by the end of 2015 (the BRF/MRP merger) had any discernable market-power or efficiency effects. To do this, we run an econometric demand-and-supply model,...
