Alternative characterizations of the proportional solution for nonconvex bargaining problems with claims

Lombardi, Michele (contributor); … - 2008

We provide three alternative characterizations of the proportional solution defined on compact and comprehensive bargaining problems with claims that are not necessarily convex. One characterization result is obtained by using, together with other standard axioms, two solidarity axioms. Another...

Eliciting information from a committee

Zapechelnyuk, Andriy - 2012

The paper addresses the mechanism design problem of eliciting truthful information from a committee of informed experts who collude in their information disclosure strategies. It is shown that under fairly general conditions full information disclosure is possible if and only if the induced...

Cream Skimming, Dregs Skimming, and Pooling: On the Dynamics of Competitive Screening

Lund, Diderik; Nilssen, Tore - 2003

We discuss the existence of a pooling equilibrium in a two-period model of an insurance market with asymmetric information. We solve the model numerically. We pay particular attention to the reasons for non-existence in cases where no pooling equilibrium exists. In addition to the phenom- enon...

Competitive politics, simplified heuristics, and preferences for public goods

Schläpfer, Felix; Schmitt, Marcel; Roschewitz, Annette - 2007

This paper examines the role of simplified heuristics in the formation of preferences for public goods. Political scientists have suggested that voters use simplified heuristics based on the positions of familiar parties to infer how a proposed policy will affect them and to cast a vote in line...

The survival of the conformist : social pressure and renewable resource management

Tavoni, Alessandro; Schlüter, Maja; Levin, Simon Asher - 2010

This paper examines the role of pro-social behavior as a mechanism for the establishment and maintenance of cooperation in resource use under variable social and environmental conditions. By coupling resource stock dynamics with social dynamics concerning compliance to a social norm prescribing...

Computational complexity in additive hedonic games

Dimitrov, Dinko; Sung, Shao Chin - 2008

We investigate the computational complexity of several decision problems in hedonic coalition formation games and demonstrate that attaining stability in such games remains NP-hard even when they are additive. Precisely, we prove that when either core stability or strict core stability is under...

Technology diffusion, abatement cost, and transboundary pollution

Tarui, Nori; Heal, Geoffrey - 2008

This paper studies countries' incentives to develop advanced pollution abatement technology when technology may spillover across countries and pollution abatement is a global public good. We are motivated in part by the problem of global warming: a solution to this involves providing a global...

Liberal egalitarianism and the harm principle

Lombardi, Michele; Veneziani, Roberto - 2009

This paper analyses Rawls's celebrated difference principle, and its lexicographic extension, in societies with a finite and an infinite number of agents. A unified framework of analysis is set up, which allows one to characterise Rawlsian egalitarian principles by means of a weaker version of a...
