چکیده

In this paper we investigate the effect of mediated partnerships over agents’ equilibrium strategies in two-sided economic search. A mediated partnership is formed when an agent acts as a mediator, establishing a partnership between a pair of agents it encountered along its search, thereby reducing the other agents’ amount of search. Surprisingly, this reduction in market friction induced by mediated partnerships does not always improve market efficiency. Use of mediated partnerships changes the equilibrium strategies used by agents in two-sided search models and introduces substantial computational complexity. This computational complexity is overcome with an innovative algorithm that facilitates equilibrium calculation.

Managing parallel inquiries in agents' two-sided search

In this paper we address the problem of agents engaged in a distributed costly two-sided search for pairwise partnerships in Multi-Agent Systems (MAS). While traditional two-sided search mechanisms are based on a purely sequential search of all searchers, our mechanism integrates an ability of some of the agents to maintain several search efforts in parallel at each search stage. We show that i...
