The Ultimatum Game is conventionally formulated in the context of two players. Nonetheless, real-life scenarios often entail community interactions among numerous individuals. To address this, we introduce an extended version of the Ultimatum Game, called the Multi-Proposer-Multi-Responder Ultimatum Game. In this model, multiple responders and proposers simultaneously interact in a one-shot game, introducing competition both within proposers and within responders. We derive subgame-perfect Nash equilibria for all scenarios and explore how these non-trivial values might provide insight into proposal and rejection behavior experimentally observed in the context of one vs. one Ultimatum Game scenarios. Additionally, by considering the asymptotic numbers of players, we propose two potential estimates for a "fair" threshold: either 31.8% or 36.8% of the pie (share) for the responder.

We solve the two-player bargaining problem using Weber's law in psychophysics, which is applied to the perception of utility changes. By applying this law, one of the players (or both of them) defines lower and upper utility thresholds, such that once the lower threshold is established, bargaining continues in the inter-threshold domain where the solutions are acceptable to both parties. This provides a sequential solution to the bargaining problem, and it can be implemented iteratively reaching well-defined outcomes. The solution is Pareto-optimal, symmetric, and is invariant to affine-transformations of utilities. For susceptible players, iterations are unnecessary, so they converge in one stage toward the (axiomatic) Nash solution of the bargaining problem. This situation also accounts for the asymmetric Nash solution, where the weights of each player are expressed via their Weber constants. Thus the Nash solution is reached without external arbiters and without requiring the independence of irrelevant alternatives. For non-susceptible players our approach leads to different results.

The credibility theory was introduced by B. Liu as a new way to describe the fuzzy uncertainty. The credibility measure is the fundamental notion of the credibility theory. Recently, L.Yang and K. Iwamura extended the credibility measure by defining the parametric measure $m_{lambda}$ ($lambda$ is a real parameter in the interval $[0,1]$ and for $lambda= 1/2$ we obtain as a particular case the notion of credibility measure). By using the $m_{lambda}$-measure, we studied in this paper a risk neutral multi-item inventory problem. Our construction generalizes the credibilistic inventory model developed by Y. Li and Y. Liu in 2019. In our model, the components of demand vector are fuzzy variables and the maximization problem is formulated by using the notion of $m_{lambda}$-expected value. We shall prove a general formula for the solution of optimization problem, from which we obtained effective formulas for computing the optimal solutions in the particular cases where the demands are trapezoidal and triangular fuzzy numbers. For $lambda=1/2$ we obtain as a particular case the computation formulas of the optimal solutions of the credibilistic inventory problem of Li and Liu. These computation formulas are applied for some $m_{lambda}$-models obtained from numerical data.
可信度理论由 B. Liu 提出,是描述模糊不确定性的一种新方法。可信度度量是可信度理论的基本概念。最近,L.Yang 和 K. Iwamura 通过定义参数度量 $m_{lambda}$($lambda$ 是区间 $[0,1]$ 中的实参数,对于 $lambda=1/2$,我们得到了可信度量的特殊概念)扩展了可信度量。通过使用 $m_{lambda}$ 度量,我们在本文中研究了一个风险中性的多项目库存问题。我们的构造概括了李一和刘一在 2019 年提出的可信库存模型。在我们的模型中,需求向量的分量是模糊变量,最大化问题通过使用 $m_{lambda}$ 预期值的概念来表述。我们将证明优化问题求解的一般公式,并从中获得计算需求为梯形模糊数和三角形模糊数的特殊情况下最优解的有效公式。对于$lambda=1/2$,我们得到了李和刘的可信库存问题最优解的计算公式。这些计算公式适用于从数字数据中得到的一些 $m_{lambda}$ 模型。

Existing research has established that autocrats offer concessions to prevent ouster by their inner circle. This paper examines how those concessions are influenced by the relative uncertainty of an autocrat's inner circle about remaining in that favored body. I take as my starting point the formal model of political survival presented in Bueno de Mesquita et al.'s The Logic of Political Survival. I extend the model to account for variation in the relative uncertainty of an autocrat's inner circle. To make the math tractable, I dispense with convention and introduce comparative statics across two models with different formulations of uncertainty. This exercise reveals a set of conditions under which to expect an increase in the concessions offered by an autocrat, with implications for development and democracy. Those findings yield a corresponding set of logical corollaries with potential to further our understanding of authoritarian politics, including an unexamined facet of the "dictator's dilemma" (Wintrobe 1990, 1998) and related incentives for members of an inner circle to permit purges or act to destabilize their ranks. The models also identify a source of policy volatility not found outside of autocracies. Taken together, the findings suggest a need for more research on elite uncertainty in autocracies.

This study examines strategic issues in fair rank-minimizing mechanisms, which choose an assignment that minimizes the average rank of object types to which agents are assigned and satisfy a fairness property called equal treatment of equals. As one of these fair mechanisms, the uniform rank-minimizing mechanism is considered. We particularly focus on the case where agents can refuse their assignment and obtain the outside option instead. Without the refusal option, if the uniform rank-minimizing mechanism is used, truth-telling is not strategically dominated by any strategies. However, if agents have the option, then an outside option demotion strategy -- revealing all object types as acceptable without changing the ranking of truly acceptable ones -- strategically dominates truth-telling. Moreover, we show that adopting this strategy may lead to inefficient assignments. To counter this, we propose the modified uniform rank-minimizing mechanism, though it may lead agents to strategically reduce the number of acceptable types.

I study the persuasion of a receiver who accesses information only if she exerts costly attention effort. The sender designs an experiment to persuade the receiver to take a specific action. The experiment also affects the receiver's attention effort, that is, the probability that she updates her beliefs. As a result, persuasion has two margins: extensive (effort) and intensive (action). The receiver's utility exhibits a supermodularity property in information and effort. By leveraging this property, I prove a general equivalence between experiments and persuasion mechanisms `a la Kolotilin et al. (2017). Censoring high states is an optimal strategy for the sender in applications.

We investigate the choice behavior of a decision maker (DM) who harms herself, by maximizing some distortion of her true preference, in which the first $i$ alternatives are moved to the bottom, in a reversed order. The deterministic declination of our pattern has no empirical power, but it allows to define a degree of self-punishment, which measures the extent of the denial of pleasure adopted by the DM in her decision. We analyze irrational choices that display the lowest degree of self-punishment, and a characterization of them is provided. Moreover, we characterize the choice behavior that exhibits the highest degree of self-punishment, and we show that it comprises almost all choices. We also characterize stochastic self-punishment, which collects all the Random Utility Models (RUMs) whose support is restricted to the harmful distortions of some preference. Full identification of the DM's preference and randomization over its harmful distortions is allowed if each alternative is selected from the ground set with probability greater than zero. Finally, the degree of self-punishment of harmful stochastic choices is characterized.

With the increasing demand for wireless services, spectrum management agencies and service providers (SPs) are seeking more flexible mechanisms for spectrum sharing to accommodate this growth. Such mechanisms impact the market dynamics of competitive SPs. Prior market models of spectrum sharing largely focus on scenarios where competing SPs had identical coverage areas. We depart from this and consider a scenario in which two competing SPs have overlapping but distinct coverage areas. We study the resulting competition using a Cournot model. Our findings reveal that with limited shared bandwidth, SPs might avoid overlapping areas to prevent potential losses due to interference. Sometimes SPs can strategically cooperate by agreeing not to provide service in the overlapping areas and, surprisingly, customers might also benefit from such cooperation under certain circumstances. Overall, market outcomes exhibit complex behaviors that are influenced by the sizes of coverage areas and the bandwidth of the shared spectrum.

We compute the lattice operations for the (pairwise) stable set in two-sided matching markets where only substitutability on agents' choice functions is imposed. To do this, we use Tarski operators defined on the lattices of worker-quasi-stable and firm-quasi-stable matchings. These operators resemble lay-off and vacancy chain dynamics, respectively. First, we compute the lattice operations in the many-to-one model. Then, we extend these operations to a many-to-many model with substitutable choice functions on one side and responsive preferences on the other, via a morphism that relates many-to-one with many-to-many matchings in a natural way. Finally, we present the lattice operations in the many-to-many model with substitutable choice functions on both sides.
