Welfare implications of fair and accountable insurance pricing

Journal of Risk and Insurance, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper introduces an empirical framework to evaluate the welfare implications of fair and accountable insurance pricing by modeling the complete pricing process, including demand and price optimization. Moving beyond traditional cost modeling, we analyze both discrimination‐related fairness criteria and broader regulatory constraints, such

A Game-Based Charging Station Selection for UAVs With Cost-Awareness

IEEE Access
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are massively utilized as airborne base stations for the growing demand of communication. The fixed battery capacity prevents UAV applications from further development.

Self-Organized Cognitive Sensor Networks: Distributed Channel Assignment for Pervasive Sensing

International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks, 2014
We study the channel assignment strategy in multichannel wireless sensor networks (WSNs) where macrocells and sensor nodes are overlaid. The WSNs dynamically access the licensed spectrum owned by the macrocells to provide pervasive sensing services.

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.

Nash Equilibria in Four-Strategy Quantum Extensions of the Prisoner’s Dilemma Game

Entropy
The concept of Nash equilibria in pure strategies for quantum extensions of the general form of the Prisoner’s Dilemma game is investigated. The process of quantization involves incorporating two additional unitary strategies, which effectively expand ...

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.

Multi-agent reinforcement learning for a distributed multi-channel access game

ICT Express
In this work, we model multi-user distributed channel access as a game with U channels and N users, and propose the Multi-Agent Thompson Sampling (MA-TS) algorithm. It uses Bayes’ theorem to dynamically optimize action selection.

Bitcoin Mining as a Contest

Ledger, 2017
This paper presents a simple game theoretic framework, assuming complete information, to model Bitcoin mining activity. It does so by formalizing the activity as an all-pay contest: a competition where participants contend with each other to win a prize ...

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 ...
