We study incentive issues related to two-sided one-to-one stable matching problem after weakening the notion of strategy-proofness to Ordinal Bayesian Incentive Compatibility (OBIC). Under OBIC, truthtelling is required to maximize the expected utility of every agent, expected utility being...

The Big Robber Game

Alós-Ferrer, Carlos; García-Segarra, Jaume; Ritschel, … - 2018 - This version: June 2018

We observed that more than half of all...
