Robust Mean–Variance Portfolio Optimization: Mean–Variance–Variance Criterion Versus Mean–Variance–Standard Deviation Criterion

Mathematical Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study a dynamic portfolio optimization problem under the mean–variance–variance (M‐V‐V) criterion proposed by Maccheroni et al. It is an analogue of the Arrow–Pratt approximation to the well‐known smooth ambiguity model. Under the standard Black–Scholes framework, we derive fully explicit equilibrium investment strategies in which a DM's ...

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

The Manchester School, EarlyView.
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.

Nash equilibrium existence for some discontinuous games [PDF]

Answering to an open question of Herings et al. (see [3]), one extends their fixed point theorem to mappings defined on convex compact subset of Rn, and not only polytopes.

Endogenous Institution Formation for Public Good Provision

The Manchester School, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We revisit an existing framework of endogenous institution formation for public good provision, incorporating heterogeneous players to address the question, “Who joins an institution that sanctions only its members to provide a public good?” We analyze two models with different sources of heterogeneity.

Household Nash equilibrium with voluntarily contributed public goods [PDF]

We study noncooperative models with two agents and several voluntarily contributed public goods. We focus on interior equilibria in which neither agent is bound by non negativity constraints, establishing the conditions for existence and uniqueness of ...

Mutual Outsourcing in a Vertically Related Market With Strategic Environmental Corporate Social Responsibility

The Manchester School, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study considers mutual outsourcing firms in a vertically related market and examines their strategic adoption of environmental corporate social responsibility (ECSR) activities. We demonstrate that ECSR adoption reduces mutual outsourcing firms' profits, resulting in a prisoner's dilemma situation, but enhances welfare regardless of ...

Employee Fraud and the Statute of Limitations in a Search and Matching Model

The Manchester School, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper integrates employee fraud into a Mortensen‐Pissarides search and matching model to analyze labor market dynamics under imperfect legal enforcement. We introduce a time‐dependent punishment structure where the offender's effective liability is governed by the statute of limitations. We characterize both short‐ and long‐run equilibria,

Strategic Equilibrium

An outcome in a noncooperative game is said to be self-enforcing, or a strategic equilibrium, if, whenever it is recommended to the players, no player has an incentive to deviate from it.This paper gives an overview of the concepts that have been ...

A Formal Theory of Robert Nozick's Framework for Utopia

Noûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper offers the very first formal model of Robert Nozick's model of possible worlds and his vision of a utopian society, as outlined in Part III of Anarchy, State, and Utopia. Nozick envisioned utopia as a meta‐utopia—a collection of self‐organized, voluntary sub‐communities—arguing that such an institutional framework is equivalent to ...

The Role of Labour Market Institutions in Shaping Euro Area Monetary Policy Transmission

Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine how labour market institutions shape monetary policy transmission in euro area countries. A theoretical model suggests that higher union density flattens the Phillips curve, amplifying output responses while dampening the inflation effects of monetary shocks. This is empirically confirmed using an interacted panel VAR.
