On the efficiency of the walrasian mechanism [PDF]
Proceedings of the fifteenth ACM conference on Economics and computation, 2014 Central results in economics guarantee the existence of efficient equilibria for various classes of markets. An underlying assumption in early work is that agents are price-takers, i.e., agents honestly report their true demand in response to prices.

Composable and efficient mechanisms [PDF]
Proceedings of the forty-fifth annual ACM symposium on Theory of Computing, 2013 We initiate the study of efficient mechanism design with guaranteed good properties even when players participate in multiple different mechanisms simultaneously or sequentially. We define the class of smooth mechanisms, related to smooth games defined by Roughgarden, that can be thought of as mechanisms that generate approximately market clearing ...

An Efficient Dynamic Mechanism [PDF]
Econometrica, 2013 The paper extends both the Vickrey-Gloves-Clarke (VGC) and \textit{C. d'Aspremont} and \textit{L.-A. Gerard-Varet}'s [``Incentives and incomplete information'', J. Public Econ. 11, 22--45 (1979)] mechanisms to general dynamic settings under the natural extensions of the private values and independence assumptions considered by these authors.

On the Efficiency of All-Pay Mechanisms [PDF]
Algorithmica, 2015 We study the inefficiency of mixed equilibria, expressed as the price of anarchy, of all-pay auctions in three different environments: combinatorial, multi-unit and single-item auctions. First, we consider item-bidding combinatorial auctions where m all-pay auctions run in parallel, one for each good.

Efficiency of Scalar-Parameterized Mechanisms [PDF]
Operations Research, 2009 We consider the problem of allocating a fixed amount of an infinitely divisible resource among multiple competing, fully rational users. We study the efficiency guarantees that are possible when we restrict to mechanisms that satisfy certain scalability constraints motivated by large-scale communication networks; in particular, we restrict attention ...

Danicamtiv increases cardiac mechanical efficiency. [PDF]
J PhysiolAbstractDanicamtiv is a recently developed cardiac‐specific myosin activator that directly increases actomyosin interaction and, thereby, increases force. It is currently studied pre‐clinically and has entered clinical trials. In this study, we provide the first assessment of its effects on cardiac energetics.

(Almost) efficient mechanisms for bilateral trading [PDF]
Games and Economic Behavior, 2021 We study the bilateral trade problem: one seller, one buyer and a single, indivisible item for sale. It is well known that there is no fully-efficient and incentive compatible mechanism for this problem that maintains a balanced budget. We design simple and robust mechanisms that obtain approximate efficiency with these properties.

Long-Term Evaluation of the Influence of Mechanical Pruning on Olive Growing [PDF]
, 2012 In Portugal, olive (Olea europaea L.) groves with the traditional tree density of around 100 trees ha -1, necessitate increasing pruning costs every year. As a result farmers tend to lengthen pruning intervals.

Efficiency and Mechanisms with no Regret [PDF]
International Economic Review, 1992 Summary: Can we always design a game form so that all its Bayesian equilibrium outcomes are either interim individually rational efficient or interim envy-free efficient in asymmetric information economies? We show that the answer is no. Given that such games exist in complete information economies, can this gap be filled by games that leak information
