In this paper, we study the asset pricing implication of imprecise knowledge about rare events. Modeling rare events as jumps in the aggregate endowment, we explicitly solve the equilibrium asset prices in a pure-exchange economy with a representative agent who is averse not only to risk but...

We analyze a model of Internet auctions. Sellers each offer one item of a heterogeneous good to bidders who have unit-demand preferences. Items are sold in second-price proxy auctions. We derive a perfect Bayesian (epsilon-) equilibrium. Our experimental findings support the theoretical results....

The fundamental paradigm shift from traditional value chains to agile service value networks (SVN) implies new economic and organizational challenges. This work provides an auction-based coordination mechanism that enables the allocation and pricing of service compositions in SVNs. The mechanism...

This paper studies the evolutionary stability of the unique Nash equilibrium of a first price sealed bid auction. It is shown that the Nash equilibrium is not asymptotically stable under payoff monotonic dynamics for arbitrary initial populations. In contrast, when the initial population...

Because sequential auctions have permeated society more than ever, it is desirable for participants to have the optimal strategies beforehand. However, finding closed-form solutions to various sequential auction games is challenging. Current literature provides some answers for specific cases...

Die Arbeit präsentiert ein lineares Optimierungsverfahren, das Teilnehmern einer Workshopveranstaltung Plätze in Workshops zuteilt, basierend auf persönlichen Präferenzen.Diverse Nebenbedingungen werden dabei beachtet. In einer zweiten Stufe wird das Ergebnis weiter verbessert, indem private...

The dissertation studies game theoretical models of competitive bidding on multi-unit auction markets. The analysis concerns both monopoly and oligopoly settings. A major part of the thesis deals with equilibrium bidding in variable supply auctions – trade mechanisms in which a monopoly seller...

"The common-property literature has often focused on the question of efficiency. Here we consider distributional issues instead. How should the benefits of the commons (say, a fishery) be distributed? We approach the question from the viewpoint of ownership rather than income redistribution. "A...
