Price of anarchy in transportation networks: efficiency and optimality control.
Uncoordinated individuals in human society pursuing their personally optimal strategies do not always achieve the social optimum, the most beneficial state to the society as a whole. Instead, strategies form Nash equilibria which are often socially suboptimal. Society, therefore, has to pay a price of anarchy for the lack of coordination among its members. Here we assess this price of anarchy b...
متن کاملRedistribution , production inefficiency and decentralized efficiency
This paper analyzes the role of production distortion for income redistribution in an international trade model. In particular, this paper examines the role of the Stolper and Samuelson effect (Stolper and Samuelson 1941) on efficient income redistribution. It first shows that production inefficiency can be a part of a Pareto-efficient tax system when there is an asymmetric information problem ...
متن کاملEfficiency and the Redistribution of Welfare
We examine how the relation between individual and social utility affect the efficiency of game-theoretic solution concepts. We first provide general results for monotone utility-maximization games, showing that if each player’s utility is at least his marginal contribution to the welfare, then the social welfare in any Strong Nash Equilibrium is at least half of the optimal. The efficiency deg...
متن کاملSupplementary Insurance with Ex-Post Moral Hazard: Efficiency and Redistribution∗
This paper investigates the topping-up scheme in health insurance when both public and private firms use linear contracts. First, the case with identical consumers is analyzed. The optimal public coverage is derived both when the firms play simultaneously and when they play sequentially. In the former case consumers are over-insured, whereas, in the latter case, the second-best allocation is ob...
متن کاملEfficiency and Redistribution Effects of Environmental Taxes under Capital Mobility
When capital taxes are used to finance a public good, capital mobility reduces efficiency since it narrows the tax base. This motivates the concern that capital mobility might also interfere with unilateral efforts to provide the public good of environmental quality through pollution taxes. I show in this paper that capital mobility does not affect efficiency in a small open economy, even thoug...
