متن کاملCapital Allocation and Information Processing A Comparison between Hierarchical and Electronic Market Coordination Mechanisms
Recent research has dealt with questions of efficient coordination of economic activities. The considered alternatives range from (perfect) markets to (perfect) hierarchies with some hybrid forms in between. One of the main results of this research, especially of transaction cost theory, is that each alternative could be efficient, depending on certain characteristics of transactions and situat...
متن کاملRandomized vs. orthogonal spectrum allocation in decentralized networks: Outage Analysis
We address a decentralized wireless communication network with a fixed number u of frequency sub-bands to be shared among N transmitter-receiver pairs. It is assumed that the number of users N is a random variable with a given distribution and the channel gains are quasi-static Rayleigh fading. The transmitters are assumed to be unaware of the number of active users in the network as well as th...
