Demand‐Driven Mergers: Advertising, Differentiation, and Welfare

Managerial and Decision Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We consider mergers that induce demand changes. We study the firms' incentives to submit a merger request and the competition authority's decision to approve the request. We show that merger‐induced demand changes help expand settings where the interests of firms and competition authority align, whereas contexts where their interests are ...

Enforcement Design and Targeted Deterrence in Professional Sports: Evidence From NBA Anti‐Flopping Reforms

Managerial and Decision Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines strategic responses to alternative enforcement designs in professional basketball. Using NBA player‐level panel data, we study two anti‐flopping reforms: ex post financial fines introduced in 2012–2013 and in‐game technical fouls implemented in 2023–2024.

How Much to Sell and When: Optimal Staged Divestiture of Patent‐Linked Royalty Claims Under Risk, Illiquidity, and Finite Horizon

Managerial and Decision Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Patent owners can sell a royalty interest in stages rather than all at once. This paper asks how much to sell now when claim values are uncertain, buyers are costly to reach, and patent expiry limits the time available. A decision model produces sale schedules that adjust to current value, the share retained, and time remaining.

Dynamic Performance Enhancement of a High‐Agility Hypersonic Mechanical System via a Learning‐Augmented Robust Control Architecture

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The design of control systems for high‐agility mechanical systems operating in extreme environments is a significant challenge in nonlinear dynamics. This paper addresses the complex dynamic control problem of a hypersonic interceptor, modeled as a multi‐input multi‐output (MIMO) mechanical system characterized by strong aerodynamic cross ...

An Elasto–Plastic Hydro–Mechanical Model for Analyzing the Swelling Behavior of Heterogeneous Clay–Sulfate Rocks

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Swelling of clay‐sulfate rocks is a concern in geotechnical engineering that can damage infrastructure. In the historic town of Staufen in southwest Germany, geothermal drilling into a swellable anhydrite‐bearing clay formation resulted in water inflow and subsequent swelling, triggering ground heave and damage to more than 250 houses.

Decentralised Dynamic Task Allocation: A Practical Game–Theoretic Approach

, 2009
This paper reports on a novel decentralised technique for planning agent schedules in dynamic task allocation problems. Specifically, we use a Markov game formulation of these problems for tasks with varying hard deadlines and processing requirements. We

Multi‐Agent Reinforcement Learning for Joint Police Patrol and Dispatch

Naval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Police patrol units need to split their time between performing preventive patrol and being dispatched to serve emergency incidents. In the existing literature, patrol and dispatch decisions are often studied separately. We consider joint optimization of these two decisions to improve police operations efficiency and reduce response time to ...

Coverage‐based rarefaction fails to quantify relative species richness

Oikos, EarlyView.
Coverage‐based rarefaction (CBR) is a high‐profile tool for assessing biodiversity that provides relative species richness estimates by leveraging the Good‐Turing index u to interpolate. In contrast to alternatives such as the Shannon and Simpson indices, CBR's main appeal is providing values in units of species. CBR is tested against a series of other
