[:es]Title: Small-scale fisheries in Brazil: a not-so-invisible problem
Speaker: Priscila Lopes, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal (Brazil)
Date: 16/06/2017, 12:00h
 Location: Sala de Seminarios (Edificio Torretamarit), Universidad Miguel Hernández (Campus de Elche)
 
Abstract:
Brazil is proportionally a relatively unimportant player in the world fisheries scenario. However, small-scale fisheries (SSF) specifically are crucial for local livelihoods and the food […]

[:es]Title: A convex approach to differential inclusions with prox-regular sets
Speaker: Dr. Abderrahim Hantoute, Center for Mathematical Modeling, University of Chile
Date: 13/06/2017, 18:30h
Location: Sala de Seminarios (Edificio Torretamarit)
Abstract: We study the existence and stability of the solutions for differential inclusions governed by the normal cone to a prox-regular set and subject to a Lipschitz perturbation. We […]

[:es]Título: “Differences in teachers’ efficiency: evidence for Spain”
Ponente: Gabriela Sicilia (UAM)
Fecha: 07/06/2017, 12:00h
Lugar: Sala de seminarios, Edificio Torretamarit, Universidad Miguel Hernández (Campus de Elche)
Abstract:
This research contributes to the ongoing debate about differences in teachers’ performance. We introduce a new methodology that combine production frontier and impact evaluation insights that allows using DEA as an identification strategy of […]

[:es]Tittle: A Wald-type test statistic based on robust modified median estimator in logistic regression models
Speaker:  Tomáš Hobza (Czech Technical University in Prague)
Date: 05/06/2017, 12:00h
Location: Sala de Seminarios, Edificio Torretamarit
Abstract
This contribution deals with robust estimation and hypothesis testing in logistic regression models. It introduces a modified median estimator of the underlying parameters of these models based on statistically smoothed binary […]
