The lifeboat problem [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We study an all-pay contest with multiple identical prizes ("lifeboat seats"). Prizes are partitioned into subsets of prizes ("lifeboats"). Players play a twostage game. First, each player chooses an element of the partition ("a lifeboat").

Strategic information transmission and stochastic orders [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
I develop new results on uniqueness and comparative statics of equilibria in the Crawford and Sobel (1982) strategic information transmission game. For a class of utility functions, I demonstrate that logconcavity of the density implies uniqueness of ...

The Complexity of the Homotopy Method, Equilibrium Selection, and Lemke-Howson Solutions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We show that the widely used homotopy method for solving fixpoint problems, as well as the Harsanyi-Selten equilibrium selection process for games, are PSPACE-complete to implement.

Observing Each Other's Observations in the Electronic Mail Game

open access: yes, 2014
We study a Bayesian coordination game where agents receive private information on the game's payoff structure. In addition, agents receive private signals on each other's private information.

On the Economics of Cloud Markets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Cloud computing is a paradigm that has the potential to transform and revolutionalize the next generation IT industry by making software available to end-users as a service. A cloud, also commonly known as a cloud network, typically comprises of hardware

Dynamic club formation with coordination [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
We present a dynamic model of jurisdiction formation in a society of identical people. The process is described by a Markov chain that is defined by myopic optimization on the part of the players.

Allocative and Informational Externalities in Auctions and Related Mechanisms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
We study the effects of allocative and informational externalities in (multi-object) auctions and related mechanisms. Such externalities naturally arise in models that embed auctions in larger economic contexts.

Bundling Equilibrium in Combinatorial auctions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
This paper analyzes individually-rational ex post equilibrium in the VC (Vickrey-Clarke) combinatorial auctions. If $\Sigma$ is a family of bundles of goods, the organizer may restrict the participants by requiring them to submit their bids only for ...
