van den Brink, Rene; Estevez-Fernandez, Arantza; van … - 2011

We consider the problem of sharing water among agents located along a river. Each agent has quasi-linear preferences over river water and money, where the benefit of consuming an amount of water is given by a continuous and concave benefit function. A solution to the problem efficiently...

Perfection and Stability of Stationary Points with Applications to Noncooperative Games

van der Laan, Gerard; Talman, Dolf; Yang, Zaifu - 2002

It is well known that an upper semi-continuous compact- and convex-valued mapping fi from a nonempty compact and convex set X to the Euclidean space of which X is a subset has at least one stationary point, being a point in X at which the image fi(x) has a nonempty intersection with the normal...

Valuation Monotonicity, Fairness and Stability in Assignment Problems

van den Brink, René; Núñez, Marina; Robles, Francisco - 2018

Shapley value, but is incompatible with stability. A main goal in this paper is to weaken valuation fairness in such a way … that it is compatible with stability. It turns out that requiring equal changes only for buyers and sellers that are … matched to each other before as well as after the change, is compatible with stability. In fact, we show that the only stable …
