摘要：We prove that if all the off-diagonal entries of the payoff matrix of a finite symmetric two-player zero-sum game are odd integers then there exists a unique equilibrium in mixed strategies. (C) 1997 Academic Press.

摘要：We analyze thr relationship between complementarities and monotonicity in dynamic programs. While complementarities (supermodularity and nondecreasing differences) are sufficient for monotonic statics ill stochastic dynamic programs: they an only ''robustly'' necessary in a limited may under heavy discounting, Monotonicity oi the: decision rule dues not in general imply monotonicity of the optimal path. In Fact, optimal paths in such models may exhibit extremely complex behavior. Fur convex ad...

摘要：We show that in models in which labor services are supplied jointly with human capital, the Chamley and Judd result on zero capital income taxation in the limit extends to labor taxes as long as accumulation technologies are constant returns to scale. Moreover, for a class of widely used preferences, consumption taxes are zero in the limit as well. However, we show by the construction of two examples that these results no longer hold for certains types of restrictions on tax rates or if there ...

摘要：We study equilibrium binding: agreements, the coalition structures that form under such agreements, and the efficiency of the outcomes that result. We analyze such agreements in a context where the payoff to each player depends on the actions of ail other players. Thus a game in strategic form is a natural starting point. Unlike the device of a characteristic Function, explicit attention is paid to the behavior of the complementary set of players when a coalition blocks a proposed agreement. A...

摘要：In this paper we show that a non-cooperative game with a finite set of players and common finite strategy sets possesses a strong Nash equilibrium in pure strategies whenever individuals' preferences satisfy independence of irrelevant choices, anonymity, and partial rivalry. Moreover, if any of these assumptions is violated, then even a pure strategy Nash equilibrium may fail to exist. Furthermore, we demonstrate that even with a continuum of players, the same three assumptions yield the exist...

摘要：We consider exchange economies where each consumer may report or act according to any demand function provided that there exist situations that the consumer finds plausible in which the reported demand performs at least as well as the true demand. We identify conditions under which, as the size of the economy increases, all the market-clearing prices and allocations of the reported economy approximate the competitive equilibria of the true economy.

摘要：The choice between quantity and price in order to stabilize collusion is modeled here. It is shown that this relocates the prisoners' dilemma backward, From the market stage to the stage where the market variable is chosen in order to sustain collusion. and where discount rates appear as the payoffs. Likewise, a prisoners dilemma arises also when both the market variable and the type of behavior (cooperative or non-cooperative) are simultaneously chosen. (C) 1997 Academic Press.

摘要：An economy with partially diversified imperfectly competitive (Cournot) intermediaries is replicated. The Cournot-Walras equilibrium converges to the perfectly competitive equilibrium with no uncertainty. Despite the convergence. the tension between diversification and competition persists when tho economy becomes large, and is manifested in the rates of convergence of price, quantities, and pel capita welfare to their respective limits. To maximize the rate of convergence of pei capita welfar...

摘要：This paper is concerned with a non-standard source of fluctuations, called echo effects, i.e., the ability of an economy to reproduce its own past history. In the 1960s. growth theorists believed that this property could arise in vintage capital models, taking the form of replacement echoes. This line of research was stopped after the publication of Solow et al. [15], who showed that echoes should vanish in a Solow growth model with vintage capital. However, the fundamental reason for this res...

摘要：In his work on signaling, Spence proposed a dynamic model of a market in which a buyer revises prices in light of experience and in which sellers. with private information about their types, choose utility-maximizing signals given these prices. We follow Spence's suggestion of introducing perturbations into the resulting dynamic process. In a broad class of markets, our model selects a separating equilibrium outcome if and only if the equilibrium outcome satisfies a version of the undefeated e...
