Bane or Boon: The Effects of Daigou (Buying on Behalf) in an Open Economy*

Economic Record, Volume 102, Issue 338, Page 397-431, September 2026.
Prompted by advancements in technology, particularly affordable or complimentary livestream features on mobile applications, a novel form of international trade—termed ‘daigou’—has emerged. In this practice, individual agents in developed countries (the North) purchase domestically produced goods on behalf of customers in developing countries (the ...

The Incidence of Coarse Certification: Evidence From the ENERGY STAR Program

The RAND Journal of Economics, Volume 57, Issue 3, Page 545-585, Autumn (Fall) 2026.
ABSTRACT A coarse certification provides simple but incomplete information. Its rationale is to help consumers trade off dimensions of quality that are complex and lack salience. In imperfectly competitive markets, it may induce excess bunching at the certification requirement, crowd out quality, and facilitate price discrimination. Who will ultimately

Implementation in Mixed Nash Equilibrium [PDF]

A mechanism implements a social choice correspondence f in mixed Nash equilibrium if at any preference profile, the set of all pure and mixed Nash equilibrium outcomes coincides with the set of f-optimal alternatives at that preference profile.

RPM and Vertical Integration With Upstream Competition and Noncontractible Efforts

The Journal of Industrial Economics, Volume 74, Issue 3, Page 349-366, September 2026.
ABSTRACT We study RPM and vertical integration in a common agency setting with two differentiated manufacturers and one retailer, where consumer demand depends on both the manufacturers' and retailer's noncontractible efforts. Under vertical separation, the adoption of maximum RPM by both manufacturers is an equilibrium and intensifies competition ...

Game-Theoretic Framework for Coordinating Mixed Traffic for Emergency Vehicle Passage

Engineering Proceedings
We address the challenge of coordinating traffic at unsignalized intersections, particularly with an emergency vehicle, by proposing a game-theoretic decision model.

α-Rank: Multi-Agent Evaluation by Evolution

Scientific Reports, 2019
We introduce α-Rank, a principled evolutionary dynamics methodology, for the evaluation and ranking of agents in large-scale multi-agent interactions, grounded in a novel dynamical game-theoretic solution concept called Markov-Conley chains (MCCs).

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.

Equilibrium Analysis of Day-Ahead Electricity Markets With Strategic Demand Aggregators Based on the Theory of Learning in Games

IEEE Access
Demand Aggregators (DAs) are expected to have a continuously increasing impact in the operation of modern electricity markets. Such players tend to concentrate large portfolios of demand-side resources, leading to market power concentration and imperfect

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

The Manchester School, Volume 94, Issue 5, Page 571-588, September 2026.
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 ...
