formed if members of the coalition are connected on a communication network, or a graph. We offer a characterization of non … characterization results established with the assumption of complete network (complete graph) in various specialized settings. Moreover …-manipulable division rules without any assumption on the structure of communication network. As corollaries, we obtain a number of earlier …

This paper studies the problem of allocating divisible resources among agents based on their characteristics. A simple example is the bankruptcy problem, which allocates the liquidation value of a bankrupted firm to creditors based on their claims. By allowing agents' characteristics to be...

This paper explores the manner in which the structure of a social network constrains the level of inequality that can … be sustained among its members. We assume that any distribution of value across the network must be stable with respect … network. We show that if the network is bipartite, there is a unique stable payoff distribution that is maximally unequal in …

This paper examines network formation among a connected population with a preference for conformity and leadership …. Agents build stable personal relationships to achieve coordinated actions. The network serves as a repository of collective … reveals how behavioral tendencies impact network formation and identifies locally stable disequilibrium structures …

Sequencing deals with the problem of assigning slots to agents who are waiting for a service. We study sequencing problems as coalition form games defined in optimistic and pessimistic scenarios. Each agent's level of utility is his Shapley value payoff from the corresponding coalition form...

We experimentally study how redistribution choices are affected by positive and negative information regarding the behaviour of a previous participant in a dictator game with a taking option. We use the strategy method to identify behavioural ‘types', and thus distinguish ‘conformists' from...

In this paper I will analyse the redistribution of income amongst n generations using the Single-mindedness Theory. I will introduce a new expression for the balanced-budget constraint, no longer based on lump- sum transfers as in the traditional literature, but rather on more realistic labour...

A cake is a metaphor for a heterogeneous, divisible good, such as land. A perfect division of cake is efficient (also called Pareto-optimal), envy-free, and equitable. We give an example of a cake in which it is impossible to divide it among three players such that these three properties are...
