摘要：This paper studies the performance of two auction procedures for allocating the assets of a dissolving partnership when partners' valuations for the assets are independent and asymmetrically distributed, with one partner reputed to be more interested in the assets to be divided. We provide results on existence, and uniqueness of the equilibrium induced by these auctions. Comparative statics are developed, especially the differences between relative efficiency and revenue from the two auctions....

摘要：This paper presents an evolutionary model of Bertrand competition in a market for a homogeneous good, where identical firms face a technology with decreasing returns to scale. Only quoted prices and realized profits are observed. The behavior of firms is based on imitation of success and experimentation, and is formally modeled through behavioral principles. We find that, even under simple behavior, the dynamic process selects a strict subset of the Nash equilibria of the underlying game. In t...

摘要：This paper studies the evolutionary properties of the Centipede Game. For this game, the use of backward induction as a model of rational behavior has been consistently challenged by the experimental evidence. Our claim is that backward induction can still accurately predict the players' behavior, provided that they are given time enough to appreciate the strategic environment in which they operate. We support this claim by proving convergence to the backward induction solution for all continu...

摘要：Consider a set of n stores with single-item and single-period demands. Assume an option of centralized ordering and inventory with holding and penalty casts only. In this case, a cooperative inventory centralization game defines' allocations of the cost. We examine; the conditions under which such an inventory centralization game has a nonempty core. We prove the existence of nonempty core far demands with symmetric distributions and the existence of nonempty core for joint multivariate normal...

摘要：This paper examines equilibrium and stability in symmetric two-player cheap-talk games and specifically characterizes the set of neutrally stable outcomes in cheap-talk 2 x 2 coordination games. With a finite message set, this set is finite. As the number of messages goes to infinity, the set expands toward a countable limit. The Pareto efficient Nash equilibrium payoff is its unique cluster point. By contrast, the corresponding limit set of strategically stable outcomes is dense in the interv...

摘要：In this paper we study linear production processes. The maximal profit that can be made has to be divided among the agents in a fair way. G. Owen (1975, Math. Programming 9, 358-370) assigned to every linear production process a cooperative game, a linear production game, and introduced a method to find a subset of the core of linear production games, which we call the Owen set. In the first part of the paper we give an axiomatic characterization of the Owen set. In the second part we study th...
