This study identifies stable coalition structures in generalized patent li- censing games with a specified payment scheme. In the model, each firm can agree to an exclusive contract with an external patent licensor for the patented technology on process innovation based on an ad-valorem (profit)...

Dana Scott provides a necessary and sufficient condition for a given probability capacity can be decomposed into a unique additive probability and a unique strictly increasing distortion function. Given this result, we characterize a family of preferences defined over the lottery acts (the...

This paper considers the possibility that an information receiver intentionally disregards some information even if information acquisition is costless. To this end, we construct a sequential Bayesian persuasion model where two senders send information to a single receiver sequentially, and the...

This note revisits the impossibility result by Watanabe and Muto (2008), showing that almost all coalition structures cannot be at the core of patent licensing games. In contrast to their result, we demonstrate that if we only allow devia- tions under the exogenously fixed payment scheme and...

We provide an overview of selected recent operational applications of satellite remote sensing and marine Geographic Information Systems (GIS) procedures to the practice of sustainable aquaculture in southern Hokkaido, Japan, focusing mainly on kelp and scallop aquaculture. We also developed a...

In this paper, we use a partition function form game to analyze cartel formation among firms in Cournot competition. We assume that a firm obtains a certain cost advantage that allows it to produce goods at a lower unit cost. We show that if the level of the cost advantage is "moderate", then...

This paper studies how to form an efficient coalition$da group of people. More specifically, we compare two mechanisms for forming a coalition by running a laboratory experiment and reveal which mechanism leads to higher social surplus. In one setting, we invite the subjects to join a meeting...
