Correlated equilibria in competitive staff selection problem

David M. Ramsey, Krzysztof Szajowski (2006)

Banach Center Publications

This paper deals with an extension of the concept of correlated strategies to Markov stopping games. The Nash equilibrium approach to solving nonzero-sum stopping games may give multiple solutions. An arbitrator can suggest to each player the decision to be applied at each stage based on a joint distribution over the players' decisions. This is a form of equilibrium selection. Examples of correlated equilibria in nonzero-sum games related to the staff selection competition in the case of two departments...

Pareto optimality in the kidney exchange problem

Viera Borbeľová, Katarína Cechlárová (2008)

Kybernetika

To overcome the shortage of cadaveric kidneys available for transplantation, several countries organize systematic kidney exchange programs. The kidney exchange problem can be modelled as a cooperative game between incompatible patient-donor pairs whose solutions are permutations of players representing cyclic donations. We show that the problems to decide whether a given permutation is not (weakly) Pareto optimal are NP-complete.

Regularity properties of optimal transportation problems arising in hedonic pricing models

Brendan Pass (2013)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We study a form of optimal transportation surplus functions which arise in hedonic pricing models. We derive a formula for the Ma–Trudinger–Wang curvature of these functions, yielding necessary and sufficient conditions for them to satisfy (A3w). We use this to give explicit new examples of surplus functions satisfying (A3w), of the form b(x,y) = H(x + y) where H is a convex function on ℝn. We also show that the distribution of equilibrium contracts in this hedonic pricing model is absolutely continuous...
