Howard (1992) argues that the Nash bargaining solution is not Nash implementable, as it does not satisfy Maskin monotonicity. His arguments can be extended to other bargaining solutions as well. However, by defining a social choice correspondence that is based on the solution rather than on its realizations, one can overcome this shortcoming. We even show that such correspondences satisfy a str...

Mobile social networks (MSNs) enable people with similar interests to interact without Internet access. By forming a temporary group, users can disseminate their data to other interested users in proximity with short-range communication technologies. However, due to user mobility, airtime available for users in the same group to disseminate data is limited. In addition, for practical considerat...

We propose a finite-horizon continuous-time framework for coalitional bargaining that has the following features: (i) Expected payoffs in Markov-perfect equilibrium (MPE) are unique, generating sharp predictions and facilitating comparative statics investigations; (ii) MPE are the only subgame-perfect Nash equilibria (SPNE) of the model that can be approximated by SPNE of nearby discrete-time b...

This paper proposes a new solution concept to three-player coalitional bargaining problems where the underlying economic opportunities are described by a partition function. This classic bargaining problem is modeled as a dynamic non-cooperative game in which players make conditional or unconditional offers, and coalitions continue to negotiate as long as there are gains from trade. The theory ...

dynamic game theory is applied to analyze the timber market in northern iran as a duopsony. the nash equilibrium and the dynamic properties of the system based on marginal adjustments are determined. when timber is sold, the different mills use mixed strategies to give sealed bids. it is found that the decision probability combination of the different mills follow a special form of attractor an...

In container-based datacenters, failure-prone components are sealed in pre-packaged shipping containers, and component failures over time reduce the availability of resources. From the perspective of services, application instances can usually be migrated across the boundary of containers as virtual machines (VMs). In such an environment, it would be sometimes beneficial to migrate application ...

A recently introduced concept of cooperative equilibrium [7], based on the assumption that players have a natural attitude to cooperation, has been proven a powerful tool in predicting human behaviour in social dilemmas. In this paper, we extend this idea to more general game models, termed Pareto solvable games, which in particular include the Nash Bargaining Problem and the Ultimatum Game. We...
