Coalition formation in a global warming game : how the design of protocols affects the success of environmental treaty-making
EYCKMANS, Johan; FINUS, Michael - Center for Operations Research and Econometrics (CORE), … - 2003
We combine the newest concepts o non-cooperative coalition theory with a computable general equilibrium model close to … the seminal RICE-model of Nordhaus and Yang (1996) to determine stable coalition structures in a global warming game. We … consider three coalition games that allow for the formation of multiple coalitions. The coalition games represent different …

Fiscal competition, revenue sharing, and policy-induced agglomeration
HINDRIKS, Jean; PERALTA, Susana; WEBER, Shlomo - Center for Operations Research and Econometrics (CORE), … - 2005
Revenue sharing can be used to discourage low tax regions from competing for capital and firms with high tax regions. However, with heterogeneous regions, revenue sharing involves net transfers across regions and creates a 'moral-hazard' problem that is, regions may want to invest less in market...

Dry times in Africa: Rainfall and Africa's growth performance
BARRIOS, Salvador; BERTINELLI, Luisito; STROBL, Eric - Center for Operations Research and Econometrics (CORE), … - 2003
While there have been some references in the literature to the potential role of the general decline in rainfall in sub-Saharan African nations on their poor growth performance relative to other developing countries, this avenue remains empirically unexplored. In this paper we use a new...

CASTANEDA DOWER, Paul; GINSBURGH, Victor; WEBER, Shlomo - Center for Operations Research and Econometrics (CORE), … - 2014
Polarization measures, that are used in examining the empirical relationship between ethnic divisions and violent conflict, heavily rely on mechanisms of group identification and often use somewhat arbitrary divisions of a society into ethnic groups. In this paper we construct two new measures...

Lower bounds rule!
LUTTENS, Roland Iwan - Center for Operations Research and Econometrics (CORE), … - 2010
We propose two axioms that introduce lower bounds into resource monotonicity requirements for rules for the problem of adjudicating conflicting claims. Suppose the amount to divide increases. The first axiom requires that two claimants whose lower bound changes equally experience an equal change...

The proportional rule for multi-issue bankruptcy problems
MORENO-TERNERO, Juan D. - Center for Operations Research and Econometrics (CORE), … - 2006
We investigate how to extend bankruptcy rules to the general setting in which agents'claims may refer to different issues. We show that the proportional rule is the only one whose extensions according to two natural procedures yield the same outcomes.
