The wage dynamics in Spain: evidence from individual data
In this paper we test the hypothesis of a wage curve against a Phillips curve for Spain within a framework which allos for these both and more general alternatives. To this end, we use data from the European Community Household Panel, which provides micro-information for the period 1994-2001. The results indicate that a partial wage adjustment is at work, as in other European countries, and that the long-run elasticiy of wages to unemploument is close to the 'empirical law of economics' of -0.1
Matter-wave solitons supported by dissipation
We show how novel types of long-lived self-localized matter waves can be
constructed with Bose-Einstein condensates. The ingredients leading to such
structures are a spatial phase generating a flux of atoms towards the
condensate center and the dissipative mechanism provided by the inelastic
three-body collisions in atomic Bose-Einstein condensates. The outcome is an
striking example of nonlinear structure supported by dissipation
