BACKWARD INDUCTION: MERITS AND FLAWS
Studies in Logic, Grammar and Rhetoric, 2017 Backward induction (BI) was one of the earliest methods developed for solving finite sequential games with perfect information. It proved to be especially useful in the context of Tom Schelling’s ideas of credible versus incredible threats.

FogCom:SDN-enabled fog node selection for early detection of communicable diseases
Journal of King Saud University: Computer and Information Sciences, 2023 A communicable illness is one that spreads from person to person by a number of means, including contact with blood and body fluids, inhaling an airborne virus, or being bitten by an insect.

Economica, EarlyView.Abstract I argue that economists' distinction between ‘pure’ and ‘applied’ economic theory is often based on papers' stylistic markers rather than their methodology or scope. I illustrate this point with a model of price competition for boundedly rational consumers, due to Piccione and Spiegler. I first present its original, ‘pure style’ version.

An Approximate Subgame-Perfect Equilibrium Computation Technique for Repeated Games
Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2010 This paper presents a technique for approximating, up to any precision, the set of subgame-perfect equilibria (SPE) in repeated games with discounting. The process starts with a single hypercube approximation of the set of SPE payoff profiles. Then the initial hypercube is gradually partitioned on to a set of smaller adjacent hypercubes,

Randomly Albright: The End of Judge Shopping in the Western District of Texas?
Journal of Empirical Legal Studies, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Because judges exercise discretion in how they handle and decide cases, heterogeneity across judges can affect case outcomes and, thus, preferences among litigants for particular judges. However, selection obscures the causal mechanisms that drive these preferences.

RPM and Vertical Integration With Upstream Competition and Noncontractible Efforts
The Journal of Industrial Economics, EarlyView.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 ...

Bad NGOs? Competition in the Market for Donations and Workers' Misconduct
The Journal of Industrial Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In this paper, we investigate how competition among NGOs to attract donations shapes the incentives that NGOs provide to their employees. NGOs hire workers to undertake development projects, which are horizontally and vertically differentiated.

Stochastic Differential Games for Which the Open-Loop Equilibrium is Subgame Perfect
Dynamic Games and Applications, 2017 It is generally admitted that a correct forecasting of uncertain variables needs Markov decision rules. In a dynamic game environment, this belief is reinforced if one focuses on credible actions of the players. Usually, subgame perfectness requires equilibrium strategies to be constructed on Markov rules.

Mathematical Finance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We study a dynamic portfolio optimization problem under the mean–variance–variance (M‐V‐V) criterion proposed by Maccheroni et al. It is an analogue of the Arrow–Pratt approximation to the well‐known smooth ambiguity model. Under the standard Black–Scholes framework, we derive fully explicit equilibrium investment strategies in which a DM's ...
