Unique-lowest sealed-bid auctions are auctions in which participation is endogenous and the winning bid is the lowest bid among all unique bids. Such auctions admit very many Nash equilibria (NEs) in pure and mixed strategies. The two-bidders' auction is similar to the Hawk-Dove game, which...

Importance of E-services for Cultural Tourism

Leeuwen, Eveline van; Nijkamp, Peter - Tinbergen Institute - 2011

Despite a busy lifestyle – or perhaps as a result of a stressful lifestyle – more people than ever before make leisure trips, sometimes for a long time but in many cases just for short periods. Modern telecommunication technology brings attractive tourist destinations directly into the...

A Firm's First Year

Abbring, Jaap H.; Campbell, Jeffrey R. - Tinbergen Institute - 2005

This paper determines the structural shocks that shape a firm's first year by estimating a structural model of firm growth, learning, and survival using monthly sales histories from 305 Texas bars. We find that heterogeneity in firms' pre-entry scale decisions accounts for about 40% of their...

Shallow Lake Economics Run Deep: Nonlinear Aspects of an Economic-Ecological Interest Conflict

Wagener, F.O.O. - Tinbergen Institute - 2009

Outcomes of the shallow lake interest conflict are presented in a number of different contexts: quasi-static and dynamic social planning, and quasi-static one-shot and repeated non-cooperative play. As the underlying dynamics are non-convex, the analysis uses geometrical-numerical methods: the...

Combinatorial Integer Labeling Theorems on Finite Sets with an Application to Discrete Systems of Nonlinear Equations

Laan, Gerard van der; Talman, Dolf; Yang, Zaifu - Tinbergen Institute - 2007

Tucker's well-known combinatorial lemma states that for any given symmetric triangulation of the n-dimensional unit cube and for any integer labeling that assigns to each vertex of the triangulation a label from the set {1,2,...n,-1,-2,....-n} with the property that antipodal vertices on the...

Gradient Estimation for a Class of Systems with Bulk Services: A Problem in Public Transportation

Vazquez-Abad, Felisa J.; Heidergott, Bernd - Tinbergen Institute - 2003

This paper deals with a system where batch arrivals wait in a station until a server (a train) is available, at which moment it services all customers in waiting. This is an example of a bulk server, which has many applications in public transportation, telecommunications, computer resource...
