Invisible Handshake

From the Invisible Handshake to the Invisible Hand? How Import Competition Changes the Employment Relationship

Does import competition alter the extent to which employers, after negotiating workers’ wages upon hire, subsequently shield those wages from external labor-market conditions? If increased competition induces a switch away from these wage implicit agreements, then (1) the sensitivity of workers’ wages to the current unemployment rate should increase as competition increases and (2) the sensitiv...

Handshake Games

In this paper I present a game model for the semantical analysis of handshake circuits. I show how the model captures effectively the composition of circuits in an associative way. Then I build a compact-closed category of handshake games and handshake strategies. I then consider the language Tangram and I define a semantics for this language simply by giving a denotation in the model to each h...

The Calculus of Handshake Configurations

Handshake protocols are asynchronous protocols that enforce several properties such as absence of transmission interference and insensitivity from delays of propagation on wires. We propose a concurrent process calculus for handshake protocols . This calculus uses two mechanisms of synchronization: rendez-vous communication à la CCS, and shared resource usage. To enforce the handshake disciplin...
