An Algorithm For Fiml And 3sls Estimation Of Large Nonlinear Models, William R. Parke
An Algorithm For Fiml And 3sls Estimation Of Large Nonlinear Models, William R. Parke
Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers
This paper presents a numerical algorithm for computing full information maximum likelihood (FIML) and nonlinear three-stage least squares (3SLS) coefficient estimates for large nonlinear macroeconomic models. The new algorithm, which is demonstrated by actually computing FIML and 3SLS coefficient estimates for two versions of the 97 equation Fair Model, is substantially more effective than other algorithms on FIML and 3SLS estimation problems.

Morse Programs, Okitsugu Fujiwara
Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers
(Qvu) minimize {f(x) - uTx subject to g(x) < b + v} where f : Rn approaches R, g: Rn approaches Rm; f in C2, g in Cn; u in Rn, v in Rm; n > m; that at any local minimum point x of (Qvu) the Jacobian matrix of g at x has full rank, strict complementary slackness holds and the second order sufficiency conditions hold, for almost every matrix{u v} in Rn x Rm (Lebesgue measure). The purpose of this paper is to explicate the geometry underlying their work and to exploit this geometry in the generic analysis of constrained optimization problems. Namely we show that their work can be reduced to the study of minimizing a Morse function on a manifold with boundary. We follow …

Competitive Bidding And Proprietary Information, Richard Engelbrecht-Wiggans, Robert J. Weber
Competitive Bidding And Proprietary Information, Richard Engelbrecht-Wiggans, Robert J. Weber
Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers
The auction of an object is considered, for the case in which one bidder is better-informed than the others concerning the actual value of the object. An equilibrium point solution of the competitive bidding game is determined; at this equilibrium, the expected revenue of the less-well-informed bidders is zero. The case of an object which can take only values from a discrete set is dealt with as the limit of auctions of continuously-valued objects.

The Design Of Distributed Service Systems, David R. Strip, Richard Engelbrecht-Wiggans
The Design Of Distributed Service Systems, David R. Strip, Richard Engelbrecht-Wiggans
Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers
A variety of practical situations involve supplying a particular commodity by some locations to satisfy the demand at others. If the demands and the costs of producing varying amounts of commodity at each location are known, then the question is how much commodity should be supplied by each location in order to minimize the total system cost. Under some relatively general conditions, there will be an optimal solution with the property that the vector of amounts supplied by the various locations is one of a distinguished set of points. In the case of star networks, this combinatorial nature may be …

How Should We Revise Our Beliefs About Nuclear Power Safety After Three Mile Island?, William D. Nordhaus
How Should We Revise Our Beliefs About Nuclear Power Safety After Three Mile Island?, William D. Nordhaus
Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers
In light of the accident at Three Mile Island, the paper presents a preliminary analysis of the compatibility between the analytical work of the Reactor Safety Study (Rasmussen Report) and actuarial experience. The technique is a “macroanalytic” approach rather than the “microanalytic” method of the Reactor Safety Study. The first question asked is how likely it is that an accident as severe as that at Three Mile Island would occur if the Reactor Safety Study is correct. Using the most likely estimates, it is concluded that the chances are 1 in 80 that such an accident would occur this soon, …

“On The Relation Of Various Reliability Measures To Each Other And To Game Theoretic Values, Richard Engelbrecht-Wiggans, David R. Strip
“On The Relation Of Various Reliability Measures To Each Other And To Game Theoretic Values, Richard Engelbrecht-Wiggans, David R. Strip
Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers
A variety of measures have recently been proposed for measuring the relative importance of individual components in the overall reliability of a system. Several of these seemingly different measures are very closely related under the conditions typically assumed in the reliability literature. The measures are also closely related to the probabilistic values of game theory; although the game theoretic literature predates the reliability literature by up to two decades, the similarities have apparently not been previously observed or exploited.
The Alep Definition Of Complementarity And Least Concave Utility Functions, Yakar Kannai
The Alep Definition Of Complementarity And Least Concave Utility Functions, Yakar Kannai
Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers
The use of least concave utility functions describing a given concavifiable preference relation is suggested for determining the complementary vis-à-vis substitute nature of a pair of commodities.
Stochastic Games, Oligopoly Theory And Competitive Resource Allocation, Martin Shubik, Matthew J. Sobel
Stochastic Games, Oligopoly Theory And Competitive Resource Allocation, Martin Shubik, Matthew J. Sobel
Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers
We define discrete time sequential games which are multiperson Markov decision processes. The extant theory is sketched and compared with our assessment of research needs in dynamic models of oligopoly and other competitive resource allocation problems. A special class of economic survival games is noted.

On The Non-Existence Of Multiplicative Equilibrium Bidding Strategies, Richard Engelbrecht-Wiggans, Robert J. Weber
Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers
Extensive use has been made of multiplicative bidding strategies in the literature relating to auctions of mineral leases. It is shown that, generally, multiplicative strategies are not in equilibrium. It is also established that an equilibrium bidding strategy is not a function merely of a sufficient statistic for the true value, or of any other of a class of related statistics, if an individual bidder observes more than one piece of information. The general insufficiency of a single simple statistic is briefly discussed and a special class of models is identified in which a single statistic is indeed strategically sufficient.

Cooperative Game Solutions: Australian, Indian And U.S. Opinions, Martin Shubik
Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers
As part of several lectures the audience in Australia, India and the U.S. were asked how the gain from an agreed upon cooperation should be divided among three individuals. The responses are considered in the context of various cooperative solutions which have been suggested in the theory of games. More questions are raised than answered.
