A monotonic and merge-proof rule in minimum cost spanning tree situations
Gómez-Rúa, María; Vidal-Puga, Juan - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2015
We present a new model for cost sharing in minimum cost spanning tree problems, so that the planner can identify the agents that merge. Under this new framework, and as opposed to the traditional model, there exist rules that satisfy merge-proofness. Besides, by strengthening this property and...

The Shapley value for airport and irrigation games
Márkus, Judit; Pintér, Miklós; Radványi, Anna - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2011
In this paper cost sharing problems are considered. We focus on problems given by rooted trees, we call these problems cost-tree problems, and on the induced transferable utility cooperative games, called irrigation games. A formal notion of irrigation games is introduced, and the...

Characterization of monotonic rules in minimum cost spanning tree problems
Bergantiños, Gustavo; Vidal-Puga, Juan - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2012
We characterize, in minimum cost spanning tree problems, the family of rules satisfying monotonicity over cost and population. We also prove that the set of allocations induced by the family coincides with the irreducible core.

Sharing a polluted river network
Dong, Baomin; Ni, Debing; Wang, Yuntong - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2012
A polluted river network is populated with agents (e.g., firms, villages, municipalities, or countries) located upstream and downstream. This river network must be cleaned, the costs of which must be shared among the agents. We model this problem as a cost sharing problem on a tree network....

Axiomatic foundation for Lindahl pricing in the NIMBY context
Laurent-Lucchetti, Jérémy; Leroux, Justin - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2009
The siting of public facilities, such as prisons, airports or incinerators for hazardous waste typically faces social rejection by local populations (the "NIMBY" syndrome, for Not In My BackYard). These public goods exhibit a private bad aspect which creates an asymmetry: all involved...

No advantageous merging in minimum cost spanning tree problems
Gomez-Rua, Maria; Vidal-Puga, Juan - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2006
In the context of cost sharing in minimum cost spanning tree problems, we introduce a property called No Advantageous Merging. This property implies that no group of agents can be better off claiming to be a single node. We show that the sharing rule that assigns to each agent his own connection...

Organisational change and the computerisation of British and Spanish savings banks, circa 1965-1985
Batiz-Lazo, Bernardo; Maixe-Altes, J. Carles - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2008
In this article we explore organisational changes associated with the computarization of British savings banks while making a running comparison with developments in Spain. This international comparison addresses the evolution of the same organisational form in two distinct competitive...
