This work is motivated by the dearth of research that deals with social media content created from the Basque Country or written in Basque language. While social fingerprints during events have been analysed in numerous other locations and languages, this article aims to fill this gap so as to initiate a much-needed research area within the Basque scientific community.

Semantic interpretation of language requires extensive and rich lexical knowledge bases (LKB). The Basque WordNet is a LKB based on WordNet and its multilingual counterparts EuroWordNet and the Multilingual Central Repository. This paper reviews the theoretical and practical aspects of the Basque WordNet lexical knowledge base, as well as the steps and methodology followed in its construction. ...

This article investigates the economic effects of con ict, using the terrorist con ict in the Basque Country as a case study. We Žnd that, after the outbreak of terrorism in the late 1960’s, per capita GDP in the Basque Country declined about 10 percentage points relative to a synthetic control region without terrorism. In addition, we use the 1998–1999 truce as a natural experiment. We Žnd t...
