We examine wage competition in a model where identical workers choose the number of jobs to apply for and identical firms simultaneously post a wage. The Nash equilibrium of this game exhibits the following properties: (i) an equilibrium where workers apply for just one job exhibits unemployment...

Real-world negotiations differ fundamentally from existing bargaining theory. Inspired by the Paris Agreement on … climate change, this paper develops a novel bargaining game in which each party quanti.es its own contribution (to a public …, each equilibrium pledge coincides with an asymmetric Nash bargaining solution.

We analyse the two-dimensional Nash bargaining solution (NBS) deploying a standard labour market negotiations model … (McDonald and Solow, 1981). We show that the two-dimensional bargaining problem can be decomposed into two one … implications for actual negotiations, as it allows for the decomposition of a multi-dimensional bargaining problem into simpler …

Using the aggregative game approach as developed by Cornes and Hartley (2003, 2007) this paper analyzes the conditions under which matching mechanisms in a public good economy lead to interior matching equilibria in which all agents make strictly positive flat contributions to the public good....

We introduce tax competition for mobile labor into an optimal-taxation model with two skill levels. We analyze a symmetric subgame-perfect Nash equilibrium of the game between two governments and two taxpayer populations. Tax competition reduces the distortion from the informational asymmetry...

This paper characterizes analytically the optimal tariff of a large one-sector economy with monopolistic competition and firm heterogeneity in general equilibrium, thereby extending the small-country results of Demidova and Rodriguez-Clare (JIE, 2009) and the homogeneous firms framework of Gros...
