Strategic schools under the Boston mechanism revisited
Bó, Inácio; Heller, C.-Philipp - 2016
We show that Ergin & Sönmez's (2006) results which show that for schools it is a dominant strategy to truthfully rank the students under the Boston mechanism, and that the Nash equilibrium outcomes in undominated strategies of the induced game are stable, rely crucially on two assumptions....

A theory of pledge-and-review bargaining
Harstad, Bård - 2022
Inspired by the negotiations leading up to the Paris Agreement on climate change, I study a bargaining game where every party is proposing only its own contribution, before the set of pledges must be unanimously approved. I show that, with uncertain tolerance for delay, each equilibrium pledge...

Race meets bargaining in product development
Karagözoğlu, Emin; Keskin, Kerim; Sağlam, Hüseyin … - 2020
We introduce a model of product development in a firm. Our model describes the process as a multi-stage contest (i.e., race) with an endogenous length (with one stage or two stages) between two workers. We model the payments to workers from the new product using the normatively appealing Nash...

Decentralized task coordination
Gudmundsson, Jens; Hougaard, Jens Leth; Platz, Trine Tornøe - 2020
We study decentralized task coordination. Tasks are of varying complexity and agents asymmetric: agents capable of completing high-level tasks may also take on tasks originally contracted by lower-level agents, facilitating system-wide cost reductions. We suggest a family of decentralized...
