We assess gains from parallel computation on Backlight supercomputer. The information transfers are expensive. We find that to make parallel computation efficient, a task per core must be sufficiently large, ranging from few seconds to one minute depending on the number of cores employed. For...

Here we propose a weighted extension of the equal allocation of nonseparable costs (EANSC). Further, an axiomatization is also proposed by applying consistency.

Optimum currency area (OCA) theory attempts to define the geographical region in which it would maximize economic efficiency to have a single currency. In this paper, the focus is on prospective and current members of the Economic and Monetary Union. For this task, a self-organizing neural...

This paper proposes an augmented learning model from a neuroscience perspective. This model contains brain activity data of the orbitofrontal cortex as a predictive variable of human strategic behavior. A Bayesian 3-layer perceptron, which shows the complex relationship between decision factors,...

In this paper, we consider the existence of a sequence of convex sets that has an approximation property for the equilibrium sets in the bounded rational environments. We show that the bounded rational equilibrium multivalued map is approximated with arbitrary precision in the abstract...

We extend the finite automata approach to evaluate complexity of strategies in iterative adjustment processes such as auctions. Intuitively, a strategy's complexity is equal to the number of different contingencies in which qualitatively different behaviors are prescribed. Complexity may explain...

In the framework of interval transferable-utility (TU) games, we introduce a generalization of the equal allocation of nonseparable cost (EANSC). Further, we extend the reduced game introduced by Moulin (1985) to interval TU games. By applying this extended reduction, two axiomatizations of this...

We propose a computationally efficient approximation for the double bootstrap bias adjustment factor without using the inner bootstrap loop. The approximation converges in probability to the population bias correction factor. We study the finite sample properties of the approximation in the...

Competitive balance is an important concept in professional team sports; its measurement is, therefore, a critical issue. One of the most widely used indices, which was introduced for the estimation of seasonal competitive balance is the Concentration Ratio, which is a relatively simple index...
