The Conventionally Stable Sets In Noncooperative Games With Limited Observations: The Application To Monopoly And Oligopoly, Mamoru Kaneko

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper applies the theory of the conventionally stable set to monopolistic and oligopolistic markets. A market model with a finite number of producers and a continuum of buyers is presented and then is formulated as a strategic game in which the producers’ strategies are prices and the buyers’ strategies are demands for commodities. It is shown that a conventionally stable set in this game corresponds to a conventionally stable one in a game where the producers are only players but the buyers are treated as a certain kind of demand function. Furthermore, it is shown that the theory of …

A Value Concept And Methodology, Patricia C. Soucy

Theses

This study explores the complexities and methodologies of personal property appraisal, with a focus on how “value” is defined, measured, and applied in practice. Using the example of Tea Leaf ironstone china, the paper illustrates the ways in which appraisers must differentiate between various value concepts—such as true value, market value, and replacement value—depending on the intended purpose of the appraisal. Central to this discussion is the recognition that value is not a fixed quality inherent to an object but rather a function of context, grading, and classification systems employed by appraisers.

The work emphasizes the scientific parallels in valuation, …

Sample Selection Bias And The Nature Of Unemployment, Joshua David Angrist

Honors Papers

The most disturbing and difficult empirical problems of labor economics revolve around the absence of crucial information; the wage an unemployed person would receive if he or she were working. The most controversial policy problem of labor economics is embodied in the question; when is unemployment a problem? The goal of this paper is to propose a methodology for studying the first problem that sheds some light on the second.
