Mechanism design for demand management in energy communities

Wei, Xupeng; Anastasopoulos, Achilleas - In: Games 12 (2021) 3, pp. 1-34

We consider a demand management problem in an energy community, in which several users obtain energy from an external organization such as an energy company and pay for the energy according to pre-specified prices that consist of a time-dependent price per unit of energy as well as a separate...

School choice with hybrid schedules

Afacan, Mustafa Oğuz; Dur, Umut Mert; Harris, William - In: Games 12 (2021) 2, pp. 1-11

During the pandemic, school districts have adopted hybrid schedules to continue the education of the students while … only in the same group can physically attend class together two days a week. School districts do not take preferences of … the students/parents over the days they would like to come to school into account during this procedure. In this paper, we …

Nash implementation in an allocation problem with single-dipped preferences

Doghmi, Ahmed - In: Games 4 (2013) 1, pp. 38-49

In this paper, we study the Nash implementation in an allocation problem with single-dipped preferences. We show that, with at least three agents, Maskin monotonicity is necessary and sufficient for implementation. We examine the implementability of various social choice correspondences (SCCs)...

On Hurwicz preferences in psychological games

De Marco, Guiseppe; Romaniello, Maria; Roviello, Alba - In: Games 15 (2024) 4, pp. 1-26

The literature on strategic ambiguity in classical games provides generalized notions of equilibrium in which each player best responds to ambiguous or imprecise beliefs about his opponents' strategic choices. In a recent paper, strategic ambiguity has been extended to psychological games, by...

Games over probability distributions revisited : new equilibrium models and refinements

Rass, Stefan; König, Sandra; Schauer, Stefan - In: Games 13 (2022) 6, pp. 1-26

This article is an overview of recent progress on a theory of games, whose payoffs are probability distributions rather than real numbers, and which have their equilibria defined and computed over a (suitably restricted yet dense) set of distributions. While the classical method of defining game...

Give and let give : alternative mechanisms based on voluntary contributions

Grech, Philip D. - In: Games 10 (2019) 2/21, pp. 1-11

We propose a new family of mechanisms, whereby players may give more or less directly to one another. A cornerstone case is the regular linear public goods mechanism (LPGM), where all contribute into a single common group account, the total amount of which is then distributed equally among...

Bifurcation mechanism design : from optimal flat taxes to better cancer treatments

Yang, Ger; Basanta, David; Piliouras, Georgios - In: Games 9 (2018) 2/21, pp. 1-38

Small changes to the parameters of a system can lead to abrupt qualitative changes of its behavior, a phenomenon known as bifurcation. Such instabilities are typically considered problematic, however, we show that their power can be leveraged to design novel types of mechanisms. Hysteresis...
