Network Structure and the Efficiency Gains from Mergers: Evidence from U.S. Freight Railroads

The RAND Journal of Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The trade‐off between market power and efficiency gains is central to antitrust analyses of mergers, but empirical evidence quantifying efficiencies remains limited. Using transaction‐level data from U.S. freight railroads (1985–2005), this article quantifies merger‐induced cost efficiencies, driven mainly by eliminating inter‐railroad ...

Competitive diplomacy in bargaining and war

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract War is often viewed as a bargaining problem. However, prior to bargaining, countries can vie for leverage by expending effort on diplomacy. This article presents a dynamic model of conflict where agenda‐setting power is endogenous to pre‐bargaining diplomatic competition.

Approximation of Isomorphic Infinite Two-Person Non-Cooperative Games by Variously Sampling the Players’ Payoff Functions and Reshaping Payoff Matrices into Bimatrix Game

Applied Computer Systems, 2016
Approximation in solving the infinite two-person non-cooperative games is studied in the paper. An approximation approach with conversion of infinite game into finite one is suggested. The conversion is fulfilled in three stages.

Effects of postural intervention using a risshin chair on physical posture, class time perception, and subjective well‐being in junior high school students

British Journal of Educational Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Research based on embodied cognition has demonstrated that physical posture, particularly an upright seated posture, can influence emotions and cognition. However, although students spend most of the day sitting in classrooms, intervention research on upright seated postures suitable for learning environments is limited.
