Optimal payoff to ensure opacity in Discrete-Event Systems
… weak opacity while guaranteeing a maximum payoff. The correctness of the algorithms are proven and their computational complexities are computed.

On informational nudging and control of payoff-based learning
… alternative brings a certain stochastic reward/payoff to the decision maker. The decision maker/user repeatedly chooses from the set of alternatives so as to maximize the reward she obtains. The user remembers her past experiments and builds an estimate of the reward of each alternative to make …

Effects of Variable Payoff Structures on Cooperative Behaviors in a Repeated Prisoners Dilemma Game
This study examined the effects of payoff manipulations on cooperative behaviors between individuals using a Repeated Prisoners Dilemma Game (PDG). Eight graduate students served as participants and played 12 occurrences of the PDG with varying amounts of payoffs for cooperation or defection …

Microcomputer simulation of management practices affecting timing of net income in dairy cattle
… net income in dairy cattle. Time to cumulative payoff of expenses and net income per day of herdlife were measured for herds and individual cows. Net income was accumulated monthly, and expressed per day of life and per day to 96 mo. Twenty herds of 80 cows were simulated for 20 yr under eight …

Coalitional game with opinion exchange
… participants hold different opinions about the payoff function that corresponds to each subset of the coalition. In this thesis, we propose a framework in which players can exchange opinions about their views of payoff functions and then decide the distribution of the value of the grand …

Laggard strategy: why a firm is sometimes better off lagging the technology frontier
… capabilities and the anticipated economic payoff from innovation to explain and predict the dynamics of a technological laggard's behavior. The firm capabilities research that focuses on organizational capabilities suggests that a technological laggard has to innovate, while the competitive …

Communication, Information, and Learning
… agent's action are complements, the condition of payoff-plausibility characterizes the outcomes that survive robust neologism proofness as well as the strongly justified communication equilibrium outcomes. The principal-optimal safe outcomes, which are analogs of the sender-optimal separating …

Essays on dynamic games and reputations
… information that matters for their opponents' payoffs. I examine a repeated game between a patient informed player and a sequence of myopic uninformed players. The informed player privately observes a persistent state, and is either a strategic type who can flexibly choose his actions or is one …

A Game-theoretic Framework to Investigate Conditions for Cooperation between Wind Power Producers and Energy Storage Operators
… is not automatically guaranteed as the payoff of the energy storage operator is dependent on the strategy employed by the wind power producer. Similarly, the payoff for the wind power producer is highly intertwined with the strategy employed by the energy storage operator. Historical …

Essays on identification and semiparametric econometrics
… First, we give conditions under which the payoff function is nonparametrically identified by the observed distribution of states and controls. The identification conditions are fairly general and can be expected to hold in many potential applications. The key identifying restrictions …

Essays on pricing and learning in Bertrand markets.
… the data well. Chapter 2 proposes a generalized payoff assessment learning model of Sarin & Vahid (1999) for the perfect information Bertrand experiments we studied in Chapter 1. The model contains the quantal-response adaptive learning model of Chapter 1 and the original payoff assessment …

Robust optimization, game theory, and variational inequalities
… problem over a polyhedron, the finite game under payoff uncertainty, and the network design problem under demand uncertainty. In the first part of the thesis, we demonstrate that the nominal VI problem is in fact a special instance of a robust constraint. Using this insight and duality-based proof …

Strategic management of operational resources under uncertainty
… a problem of competitive investment with payoff externalities and uncertain but partially observable profitability. This essay examines a duopoly game, which, under appropriate conditions, reduces to a war of attrition game in the sense that both firms have incentives to be the follower. …

Algorithms for Simple Stochastic Games
… have zero outdegree and are associated with a payoff in the range [0, 1]. The game starts by placing a token on a designated start vertex. The token is moved from its current vertex position to a neighboring one according to certain rules. A fixed strategy σ of player MAX determines where to …

Game Theoretic and Analytical Approaches to International Cooperation and Investment Problems
… game theoretic model, in which a plan of payoff distributions induces an agreement that is acceptable to each participant. Under certain conditions, the underlying game is shown to be convex, and hence to have a nonempty core with the Shapley value allocations belonging to the core. A …

On the saddle-point solution and the large-coalition behavior of fingerprinting games
… maximin games with mutual information as their payoff functions. However, these games generally do not admit saddle-point solutions and are very hard to solve numerically. Here under the so-called Boneh-Shaw marking assumption, we reformulate the capacity as the value of a single two-person …
