Essays on bargaining theory and voting behavior
… the dissertation. Chapters 2 and 3 analyze the Nash bargaining problem with endogenously determined threats in the n-person case. Chapter 4 discusses seemingly inconsistent behavior in voting for incumbents and for term limitation. In Chapter 2, we provide two bargaining models with variable …

Essays on the political economy of labor market regulation
… Under the standard assumption of continuous time Nash bargaining, workers value employment protection because it strengthens their hand in bargaining. Workers in high productivity matches benefit most. Yet employment protection shifts the distribution of match-specific productivity toward lower …

Energy management of micro-grid using cooperative game theory
… them consider a fair profit distribution using Nash bargaining solution (NBS) (i.e. when utility function is linear) leading to even profit distribution and high degree of dissatisfaction. For the MG to achieve better economic outcomes, a novel method based on weighted fair energy management …

Price of anarchy in supply chains, congested systems and joint ventures
… scheme which induces the same outcome in a Nash equilibrium, Nash Bargaining and the system optimum. The optimal scheme rewards every participant proportionally with respect to his marginal cost. When resources are homogeneous, we show that the revenue sharing ratio should be inversely …

Efficiency of Water Markets under Prior Appropriation: Evidence from Permanent Water Rights Sales in Nevada
… has no significant effect on prices. Based on a Nash bargaining framework, our findings suggest that bargaining power lies more in the hands of sellers than buyers of water rights. These findings suggest that prior appropriation water markets may be efficient at allocating water between uses. …

Convex Network Flows
… in ad-hoc wireless networks, Arrow-Debreu Nash bargaining, and order routing through financial exchanges, among others. This problem has a number of interesting properties, including a 'calculus' of flow sets, an equivalent conic form, and a natural generalization of many classic network …

Provably near-optimal algorithms for multi-stage stochastic optimization models in operations management
… contract such that the corresponding Nash Bargaining Solution, the Strong Nash Equilibrium, and the system optimal solution coincide. The optimal scheme rewards every participant proportionally to her marginal cost. When resources are homogeneous, there does not exist a revenue-sharing …

Essays on the Industrial Organization of Retail Markets
… between retailers and manufacturers with a Nash-in-Nash bargaining model. I show that stronger preference for store brand has an ambiguous effect on the non-store brand prices, and that this effect is nonlinear: it is more negative when store brand has a smaller market share. Using Nelson …

Decision-Making Under Uncertainty: From Theory to Practice
… setting. We leverage the theory of axiomatic bargaining, and the Nash bargaining solution in particular, to formalize what might constitute a fair division of the cost of exploration across groups. On the one hand, we show that any regret-optimal policy strikingly results in the least fair …

Three essays on investments in child welfare in India
… Using a conceptual framework that combines the Nash bargaining framework, the demographic diffusion literature, and identity economics, I characterize three ways in which networks function: social learning, social influence, and identity utility. I then use 3SLS on network-weighted instruments …

Developing and Testing a Novel De-centralized Cycle-free Game Theoretic Traffic Signal Controller: A Traffic Efficiency and Environmental Perspective
… traffic signal controller, achieved using a Nash bargaining game-theoretic framework, that operates a flexible phasing sequence and free cycle length to adapt to dynamic changes in traffic demand levels. The developed controller was implemented and tested in the INTEGRATION microscopic …

Implications of sponsored data programs for profits and consumer welfare: models and analyses
… with others. We analyze this situation under Nash Bargaining framework and consider both sequential bargaining and simultaneous bargaining arrangements. We develop procedures to compute equilibrium outcomes, based on which we analyze the MSP's optimal choice and resulting profit consequences …

Impact of coordinated asset transfers and asset ownership on poverty reduction, women's empowerment, and child education: evidence from Zambia and Tanzania
… finding is consistent with the prediction of the Nash bargaining model because transferring economic resources to women or men leads to Pareto optimality in intra-household resource allocation only through co-operation between men and women.
