Sentencing in the Shadow of Promotion: The Impacts of Circuit Court Nomination on Federal Judges

Journal of Empirical Legal Studies, Volume 23, Issue 3, Page 359-378, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Judges seek to maximize their own utility, like everyone else. Their goals include job security and promotion. Federal judges lack the electoral incentives that often drive state judges, but they could audition for promotion. I test whether they audition for promotion in their criminal sentencing.

Biased News Media and the Swing Voter's Decision in Repeated Games

The Manchester School, Volume 94, Issue 5, Page 469-482, September 2026.
ABSTRACT We consider a monopolistic, biased news media platform that attempts to influence the decision of swing voters with cheap talk when voting is costly and abstaining is an option. First, we demonstrate that, while no fully communicative equilibrium exists in a stage game, a partially truth‐revealing mixed‐strategy equilibrium exists.

On non-cooperative foundation and implementation of the Nash solution in subgame perfect equilibrium via Rubinstein's game

Journal of Mechanism and Institution Design, 2016
In this paper we provide an exact non-cooperative foundation of the Nash solution via a unique (weakly) subgame perfect equilibrium payoff vector in a two-person bargaining game, which is a modification of the well-known alternate offer game by ...

Continuum Nash bargaining solutions

Nonlinear Differential Equations and Applications NoDEA
Abstract We compute a mean field limit of Nash bargaining solutions with agents chosen from a smooth probability density and with utility determined by the negative exponential of a cost function. When the cost function has the property that Kantorovich potentials are unique, we show that both at finite stages and
