How do polls influence strategic voting under proportional representation? This paper derives a strategic calculus of voting for coalitions that generates testable predictions about the effects of polls on strategic voting in elections involving four or more parties. Incentives of leftist voters...

Core equivalence and shrinking of the core results are well known for economies. The present paper establishes counterparts for bargaining economies, a specific class of production economies (finite and infinite) representing standard two-person bargaining games and their continuum counterparts...

This paper presents very general conditions guaranteeing that a quasi-competitive equilibrium is a Walrasian equilibrium. We also develop a generalization (and a simplified proof) of Nikaido’s and McKenzie’s extensions of the classic Debreu-Scarf theorem on core convergence, and apply the...

Agents have two forecasting models, one consistent with the unique rational expectations equilibrium, another that assumes a time-varying parameter structure. When agents use Bayesian updating to choose between models in a self-referential system, we find that learning dynamics lead to selection...
