Directional monotone comparative statics in function spaces
We characterize x -directional monotone comparative statics in function spaces, generalizing the results in Barthel and Sabarwal (Econ Theor...

The core for housing markets with limited externalities
We propose a variant of the housing market model à la Shapley and Scarf (in J Math Econ 1:23–37, 1974) that incorporates a limited form of...

Two-stage contests with preferences over style
Many grant applications have a preliminary stage where only a select group are invited to submit a full application. Similarly, procurement contracts...

Can a better informed listener be easier to persuade?
We study the impact of exogenous news on the classic Bayesian persuasion problem. The sender supplies information over multiple periods, but is...

On the consistency among prior, posteriors, and information sets
This paper studies implications of the consistency conditions among prior, posteriors, and information sets on introspective properties of...

R &d and market sharing agreements
We analyze the formation of R &D alliances and market sharing (MS) agreements by which firms commit not to enter in each other’s territory in...

Welfare-improving misreported polls
We introduce an electoral pollster in the canonical pivotal voting model and show that the misreporting of pre-election poll results can happen even...

Contractually stable networks
We consider situations where players are part of a network and belong to coalitions in a given coalition structure. We propose the concept of...

A note on local spillovers, convexity, and the strategic substitutes property in networks
We provide existence results in a game with local spillovers where the payoff function satisfies both convexity and the strategic substitutes...

Comparing influence theories in voting games under locally generated measures of dissatisfaction
The Isbell desirability relation (I), the Shapley–Shubik index (SS) and the Banzhaf–Coleman index (BC) are power theories that grasp the notion of...
