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...

A Dual Model of Cooperative Value

Feldman, Barry - EconWPA - 2002

An expanded model of value in cooperative games is presented in which value has either a linear or a proportional mode, and NTU value has either an input or an output basis. In TU games, the modes correspond to the Shapley (1953) and proportional (Feldman (1999) and Ortmann (2000)) values. In...

Negotiating the membership

Vidal-Puga, Juan - EconWPA - 2004

In cooperative games in which the players are partitioned into groups, we study the incentives of the members of a group to leave it and become singletons. In this context, we model a non-cooperative mechanism in which each player has to decide whether to stay in his group or to exit and act as...

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

-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 … the game is one of pure coordination. However, if there is a slight conflict of interest between players, a unique optimal …

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...
