When best-replies are not in equilibrium : understanding cooperative behaviour

, 2015
In many social situations, human behaviour differs from the Nash-equilibrium under selfish payoff-maximisation. Numerous social-preference models have been proposed, virtually all of them relying on the Nash-equilibrium concept. This paper determines the

Stepping Stones or Stumbling Blocks? Domestic Mergers and Cross‐Border Consolidation

Economic Notes, Volume 55, Issue 2, July 2026.
ABSTRACT We build on empirical evidence showing that international acquisitions exhibit path dependence and often unfold as sequences of deals, and argue that domestic and cross‐border mergers are not necessarily isolated events. Specifically, we ask whether blocking a domestic merger that reduces consumer surplus in the short run could inadvertently ...

A Case where a Paradox Like Braess's Occurs in the Nash Equilibrium but Does Not Occur in the Wardrop Equilibrium - A Situation of Load Balancing in Distributed Computer Systems

, 1999
The Braess paradox which was originally identified and observed in road traffic context, shows that it may happen that by adding capacity to the network, the performance of all users degrades.

Nash equilibrium selection using a hybrid two-player static game with trade-off ranking method

The paper aims to suggest the ranking of an optimal solution when there exists more than one Nash equilibrium in the game theory solution concept. Many studies tend to merge the game theory with the multi criteria decision-making (MCDM) method to cater ...

The Complex Relation of Branched‐Chain Amino Acids and Inflammation in the Obesity and Diabetes Context

Obesity Reviews, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT In a scenario with increasing cases of obesity and diabetes worldwide, branched‐chain amino acids (BCAA) metabolism has become an important factor in the understanding of these pathologies. More recently, its chronic high plasma levels have been postulated, alongside glucose, inflammatory factors, and other molecules, as an important ...

Dysregulated Lipid Metabolism in Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Strategies

MedComm – Oncology, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
Dysregulated lipid metabolism facilitates hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development, progression, immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) formation, and therapeutic resistance. Notably, the patterns of lipid metabolism vary significantly among different types of HCC driven by various etiologies.
