In recent contributions to the theory of public pension systems it was argued that a Paretoimproving transition from an established unfunded pension system to a funded one is possible. This result is derived in an overlapping-generations model with identical individuals. In the present study an extended model, with differing individuals, of an intragenerationally fair unfunded pension scheme is...

The first time I heard about the “Kekulé Riddle” was during a lecture that Dr. Alfred Bader, the founder of the Aldrich Chemical Company (now Sigma-Aldrich), gave at the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry of the University of Maryland, College Park. Dr. Bader presented evidence that when the German chemist Friedrich August Kekulé published his paper on the benzene ring, he had already see...

We analyze a myopic strategy adjustment process in strategic-form games. It is shown that the steady states of the continuous time limit, which is constructed assuming frequent play and slow adjustment of strategies, are exactly the best-reply matching equilibria, as discussed by Droste, Kosfeld, and Voorneveld (2000. Mimeo, Tilburg University). In a best-reply matching equilibrium every player...
