Price of Anarchy in Stochastic Atomic Congestion Games with Affine Costs
ACM Conference on Economics and Computation, 2019 We consider an atomic congestion game with stochastic demand in which each player participates in the game with probability $p$, and incurs no cost with probability $1-p$.

The price of anarchy of finite congestion games
Proceedings of the thirty-seventh annual ACM symposium on Theory of computing, 2005 We consider the price of anarchy of pure Nash equilibria in congestion games with linear latency functions. For asymmetric games, the price of anarchy of maximum social cost is Θ(√N), where N is the number of players. For all other cases of symmetric or asymmetric games and for both maximum and average social cost, the price of anarchy is 5/2.

Balancing these tradeoffs has likely caused tax systems to become more complex over time, increasing firms’ difficulty in understanding ...
