Stopping Big Brother would require an expensive overhaul of the entire system.

Physical and sexual violence are common forms of abuse that those impacted by human trafficking face. The growing collection research reveals victims extreme often suffer from serious long-lasting health consequences. Fractures, gashes, mutilations, along with persistent discomfort headaches, dramatic weight loss, signs chronic infectious illnesses, have all been connected to trafficking. Women...

Proof: We prove the lemma by the explicit construction of a graph. Consider a graph G consisting of d disjoint connected subgraphs denoted as Gj : j = 1, 2 . . . , d. Let the nodes in each subgraph have the same reward. The eigenvalues of the graph are {0, λ̂1, · · · , λ̂N−d}, where eigenvalue 0 is repeated d times. Note that the set of eigenvalues of the graph is the union of the set of eigenval...

We consider a model in which there is uncertainty over when a one-shot game will be played. We show how a mechanism designer can implement desirable outcomes in certain economic games by manipulating only the probability that the game is played in a given round while leaving all other aspects of the game unchanged. We also show that if there is no discounting, this uncertainty imparts a sequent...

There are typically multiple equilibrium outcomes in the Crawford-Sobel (CS) model of strategic information transmission. This paper identifies a simple condition on equilibrium payoffs, called NITS, that selects among CS equilibria. Under a commonly used regularity condition, only the equilibrium with the maximal number of induced actions satisfies NITS. We discuss various justifications for N...
