The Impact of TikTok on Elections: (Mis)information and Regulatory Challenges

Kyklos, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT TikTok's algorithm‐driven feed is reshaping electoral communication, yet a clear understanding of its effects is lacking. This study synthesizes and appraises evidence on how the platform's design and governance shape political (dis)information and may affect electoral dynamics.

Robust fully distributed file caching for delay-tolerant networks: A reward-based incentive mechanism

International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks, 2017
This article exhibits a reward-based incentive mechanism for file caching in delay-tolerant networks. In delay-tolerant networks, nodes use relay’s store-carry-forward paradigm to reach the final destination.

Random Carbon Tax Policy and Investment Into Emission Abatement Technologies

Mathematical Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We analyze the problem of a profit‐maximizing electricity producer, subject to carbon taxes, who decides on investments into CO2$\rm CO_2$ abatement technologies. We assume that the carbon tax policy is random and that the investment in the abatement technology is divisible, irreversible, and subject to transaction costs.

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.

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 ...

Epistemically Robust Strategy Subsets

Games, 2016
We define a concept of epistemic robustness in the context of an epistemic model of a finite normal-form game where a player type corresponds to a belief over the profiles of opponent strategies and types.

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 ...

Cross‐Ownership and Endogenous R&D Risk in Cournot Triopoly

The Manchester School, Volume 94, Issue 4, Page 421-437, July 2026.
ABSTRACT We examine how cross‐ownership influences firms' endogenous R&D risk‐taking in a Cournot triopoly, where two “insider” firms hold passive equity stakes in each other, and a third firm remains unaffiliated. Firms invest in stochastic R&D that lowers marginal costs and choose their risk level—measured by outcome variance—prior to quantity ...

Salience and Strategy Choice in 2 × 2 Games

Games, 2015
We present a model of boundedly rational play in single-shot 2 × 2 games. Players choose strategies based on the perceived salience of their own payoffs and, if own-payoff salience is uninformative, on the perceived salience of their opponent’s payoffs.
