The Health Costs of Cost Sharing. [PDF]
Q J Econ, 2021 Abstract What happens when patients suddenly stop their medications? We study the health consequences of drug interruptions caused by large, abrupt, and arbitrary changes in price. Medicare’s prescription drug benefit as-if-randomly assigns 65-year-olds a drug budget as a function of their birth month, beyond which out-of-pocket costs ...

Combinatorial cost sharing [PDF]
ACM SIGecom Exchanges, 2017 We introduce a combinatorial variant of the cost sharing problem: several services can be provided to each player and each player values every combination of services differently. A publicly known cost function specifies the cost of providing every possible combination of services. A combinatorial cost sharing mechanism is a protocol that decides which

Sharing Supermodular Costs [PDF]
Operations Research, 2010 We study cooperative games with supermodular costs. We show that supermodular costs arise in a variety of situations; in particular, we show that the problem of minimizing a linear function over a supermodular polyhedron—a problem that often arises in combinatorial optimization—has supermodular optimal costs.

The $$a$$ a -serial cost sharing rule [PDF]
Central European Journal of Operations Research, 2013 A new family of cost sharing rules for cost sharing problems is proposed. This family generalizes the family of α-serial cost sharing rules (Albizuri in Math Soc Sci 60:24–29, 2010) which contains the serial cost sharing rule (Moulin and Shenker in Econometrica 60:1009 – 1037, 1992) among others.

Sharing the Cost of Global Warming* [PDF]
The Scandinavian Journal of Economics, 2010 AbstractFor meteorological reasons, the distribution of climate‐change damage bears no relationship to the distribution of emissions across the globe. We argue in favor of offsetting this discrepancy. We propose a global insurance scheme of sorts, to be financed according to countries’ responsibilities in the matter.

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2007 The author considers the consistency properties of the solutions to the cost sharing problem. The article begins with an overview of the literature and previous results followed by a summary of the cost sharing model. The author then defines the idea of consistency of the cost sharing solutions and its relation to reduction maps.

CoRR, 2017 We study the cost sharing problem for cooperative games in situations where the cost function $C$ is not available via oracle queries, but must instead be derived from data, represented as tuples $(S, C(S))$, for different subsets $S$ of players. We formalize this approach, which we call statistical cost sharing, and consider the computation of the ...

Cost Sharing in a Joint Project [PDF]
, 2004 The focus of this paper is on cooperation in compound joint projects. A group of agents aims to work together in a joint project which can have different forms. Each feasible form corresponds to a subset of a given set of basic units. The cost of the chosen project is the sum of the costs of the basic units involved in the project.
