Incentive Arbitration And Time-Related Bargaining Costs, Zvi A. Livne Apr 1980

Incentive Arbitration And Time-Related Bargaining Costs, Zvi A. Livne

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

In the context of the Nash Bargaining Problem an arbitrator is supposed to choose a solution point on the basis of ‘fairness’ requirements. By introducing time-related costs to the parties’ utility functions, a new class of arbitration changes the rules of the negotiations, and particularly the parties’ payoffs, and lets the parties negotiate. The changes are such that one or both parties are reimbursed by the arbitrator for their bargaining costs. A procedure in which only the party who makes the final concession is compensated, leads (in the case of complete information) to single dominating equilibrium strategies and to a …

An Extension Of The Nash Bargaining Problem: Introducing Time-Related Bargaining Costs, Zvi A. Livne Apr 1980

An Extension Of The Nash Bargaining Problem: Introducing Time-Related Bargaining Costs, Zvi A. Livne

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

The Nash Bargaining is reformulated by introducing time-related costs into the von Neumann-Morgenstern utility functions of the parties. A set of mathematical requirements on the solution is satisfied uniquely by a function called the Extended Raiffa Solution. The properties of this function are investigated. It is shown to coincide with the Nash Cooperative Solution (of a related Bargaining Problem) when the parties have identical discount rates. An interpretation of the solution and of the formal requirements is detailed. In this model the ‘bargaining power’ of the parties is determined by the bargaining costs related to the duration of the negotiations.

Optimal Intertemporal Taxation And The Public Debt, Christophe Chamley Apr 1980

Optimal Intertemporal Taxation And The Public Debt, Christophe Chamley

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

The optimal taxation problem is analyzed in a general equilibrium model of optimal growth. The private sector is represented by a single competitive household endowed with perfect foresight, and an infinite life. This household maximizes an intertemporal stationary utility function. Public consumption is financed by taxes on consumption, labor income and capital income (or wealth), or by borrowing. Different policies (first-best and second-best), are analyzed for various subsets of instruments. The problem of the optimal level of the public debt is also considered. The general conclusion supports the relative efficiency of the consumption tax with respect to the other instruments.

Evaluation Of The New Mexico State Police Selective Traffic Enforcement Program Of Fy 1978, University Of New Mexico Bureau Of Business And Economic Research Mar 1980

Evaluation Of The New Mexico State Police Selective Traffic Enforcement Program Of Fy 1978, University Of New Mexico Bureau Of Business And Economic Research

BBER Publications

This report assesses the FY 1978 New Mexico State Police Selective Traffic Enforcement Program across four patrol districts in New Mexico. Using before-and-after accident analyses, the study found little evidence that the program reduced accidents, alcohol-related crashes, or fatalities, and concluded that declining manpower levels likely limited the effectiveness of the enforcement effort.

BBER Publications

This evaluation examines the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office FY 1978 Selective Traffic Enforcement Program in Albuquerque's South Valley. Analysis of accident and citation data found that despite substantial increases in traffic citations, the program did not significantly reduce total, fatal and injury, or alcohol-related accidents, suggesting that limited manpower and inconsistent patrol coverage reduced its effectiveness.

Traffic accidents (related to alcohol use) in Roswell had increased greatly relative to the population growth of the area, prompting a study on the effectiveness of increasing Roswell's traffic enforcement for certain periods. Other crimes were theorized to also decrease as a result of the increase.

An Application Of The Khachianshor Algorithm To A Class Of Linear Complementary Problems, Ilan Adler, Richard P. Mclean, J. Scott Provan Mar 1980

An Application Of The Khachianshor Algorithm To A Class Of Linear Complementary Problems, Ilan Adler, Richard P. Mclean, J. Scott Provan

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

The recent ellipsoidal method for solving linear programs due to Khachian and Shor is shown to process linear complementarity problems with positive semidefinite matrix. Suitable modifications of all lemmas are presented and it is shown that the algorithm operates in polynomial time of the same order as that required for linear programming. Thus quadratic programming problems are solvable in polynomial time.
