Two-Player Location Game in a Closed-Loop Market with Quantity Competition

Complexity, 2020
This paper considers the two-player location game in a closed-loop market with quantity competition. Based on the Cournot and Hotelling models, a circle model is established for a closed-loop market in which two players (firms) play a location game under

Employee Fraud and the Statute of Limitations in a Search and Matching Model

The Manchester School, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper integrates employee fraud into a Mortensen‐Pissarides search and matching model to analyze labor market dynamics under imperfect legal enforcement. We introduce a time‐dependent punishment structure where the offender's effective liability is governed by the statute of limitations. We characterize both short‐ and long‐run equilibria,

Consumers' Environmental Awareness and Firms' Managerial Delegation Contracts Under Emission Tax Policies

Scottish Journal of Political Economy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study considers consumers' environmental awareness of polluting firms' managerial delegation contracts and compares the effects of committed and time‐consistent emission tax policies. It reveals that when environmental performance (EP) incentives prevail, sales performance (SP) incentives depend on the emission tax type and competition ...

Biased News Media and the Swing Voter's Decision in Repeated Games

The Manchester School, Volume 94, Issue 5, Page 469-482, September 2026.
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.

The Subgame-Perfect Core [PDF]

, 2016
We propose a cooperative solution concept for general extensive games that can improve upon subgame-perfect Nash equilibrium. This new concept, which we label the subgame-perfect core, is a refinement of the core of the extensive game in the same sense ...

Comparison Between Seller and Buyer Pricing Systems for Energy Trading in Microgrids

IEEE Access, 2019
In this paper, two systems for energy trading among energy prosumers are proposed: a buyer-pricing-system (BPS), in which buyers determine the price of energy and a seller-pricing-system (SPS) in which sellers determine the price of energy.

Endogenous Institution Formation for Public Good Provision

The Manchester School, Volume 94, Issue 5, Page 497-507, September 2026.
ABSTRACT We revisit an existing framework of endogenous institution formation for public good provision, incorporating heterogeneous players to address the question, “Who joins an institution that sanctions only its members to provide a public good?” We analyze two models with different sources of heterogeneity.

Critical Discount Factor Values in Discounted Supergames

Games, 2018
This paper examines the subgame-perfect equilibria in symmetric 2×2 supergames. We solve the smallest discount factor value for which the players obtain all the feasible and individually rational payoffs as equilibrium payoffs.

Mutual Outsourcing in a Vertically Related Market With Strategic Environmental Corporate Social Responsibility

The Manchester School, Volume 94, Issue 5, Page 571-588, September 2026.
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 ...
