Black sheep and walls of silence
Mühlheuser, Gerd; Roider, Andreas - 2005 - Revised version: June 2005, First version: July 2004

A full characterization of all deterministic dominant strategy incentive compatible, ex-post individually rational, and ex-post budget balanced direct mechanisms in the public good...

Existence of a pure-strategy Bayesian Nash equilibrium in imperfectly discriminating contests

The intricacy of adapting to climate change : flood protection as a local public goods game
Bondarev, Anton; Hintermann, Beat; Krysiak, Frank C.; … - 2017
We study adaptation to climate change in a federalist setting. To protect themselves against an increase in flood risk, regional governments choose among adaptation measures that vary with respect to their costs, the level of protection they offer, and the presence and nature of spillovers to...
