The impact of coordination and information on transport procurement

Brusset, Xavier - EconWPA - 2005

Transport cost is second in importance after production cost in industry. It is the purpose of the present paper to study the impact of information sharing and contractual instruments between a supply chain and its transport suppliers. After reviewing the literature, we propose a model to...

Mura, Pierfrancesco La - EconWPA - 2003

Correlated equilibria are sometimes more efficient than the Nash equilibria of a game without signals. We investigate whether the availability of quantum signals in the context of a classical strategic game may allow the players to achieve even better efficiency than in any correlated...

Learning Under Little Information: An Experiment on Mutual Fate Control

Mitropoulos, Atanasios - EconWPA - 2001

Reinforcement learning has proved quite successful in predicting subjects' adjustment behaviour in repeatedly played simple games. However, reinforcement learning does not predict convergence to the efficient cell in the minimal information game of mutual fate control, while earlier...

Breaking the Symmetry: Optimal Conventions in Repeated Symmetric Games

Bhaskar, V. - EconWPA - 1997

the game is one of pure coordination. However, if there is a slight conflict of interest between players, a unique optimal …-of-the-sexes. In repeated interaction, asymmetric coordination is possible possible via symmetric repeated game strategies. This … asymmetric continuation paths. The multiplicity of possible conventions gives rise to a coordination problem at a higher level if …

Transport contract optimization under information asymmetry: an example

Brusset, Xavier; Temme, Nico - EconWPA - 2005

The present paper shows why information asymmetry and bivariate stochastic demand and spot price induce different behaviours and economic inefficiency in a carrier – shipper relationship. An example is offered of a single period, single echelon, shipper-carrier transport model where demand...

Behavioral Strategies in Repeated Pure Coordination Games

Zwick, Rami; Rapoport, Amnon; Lo, Alison King Chung - EconWPA - 2001

We study experimentally a class of pure coordination games as a special case of the Consumer Choice of Prizes game … developed by Rapoport et al. (2000). We find a high level of group coordination coupled with considerable switching in the …

Privacy or Publicity - Who Drives the Wheel?

Bannier, Christina E. - EconWPA - 2003

Financial markets are to a very large extent influenced by the advent of information. Such disclosures, however, do not only contain information about fundamentals underlying the markets, but they also serve as a focal point for the beliefs of market participants. This dual role of information...
