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.

Knowledge Spillover Network and Optimal R&D Policy in Oligopoly
Journal of Public Economic Theory, Volume 28, Issue 4, August 2026.ABSTRACT This paper studies optimal R&D policy in a Cournot oligopoly with network‐based knowledge spillovers. Generalizing the standard two‐stage model of Kamien et al. (1992), we characterize the socially optimal policy by decomposing the net externality of private innovation into three channels: the market expansion effect, direct knowledge ...

However, prior to bargaining, countries can vie for leverage by expending effort on diplomacy. This article presents a dynamic model of conflict where agenda‐setting power is endogenous to pre‐bargaining diplomatic competition.

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 ...
