Can and should the Nash program be looked at as a part of mechanism theory?

چکیده
The present article presents and discusses the recent controversy about the possibility and meaning of relating the game theoretic Nash program to mechanism theory. The non-cooperative foundation of the Nash bargaining solution is used as an example to shed light on the formal relation between traditional non-cooperative support of cooperative solutions and mechanism theoretic implementation of social choice rules. The technical possibility of regarding the Nash program as a part of mechanism theory is taken as a starting point for discussing the meaning of implementation, “good” mechanisms and extensions in the spirit of Hurwicz’s (1994) “genuine” implementation.

Coordinating a decentralized supply chain with a stochastic demand using quantity flexibility contract: a game-theoretic approach
Supply chain includes two or more parties linked by flow of goods, information, and funds. In a decentralized system, supply chain members make decision regardless of their decision's effects on the performance of the other members and the entire supply chain. This is the key issue in supply chain management, that the mechanism should be developed in which different objectives should be align...
متن کاملA game theory approach to the Iranian forest industry raw material market
Dynamic game theory is applied to analyze the timber market in northern Iran as a duopsony. The Nash equilibrium and the dynamic properties of the system based on marginal adjustments are determined. When timber is sold, the different mills use mixed strategies to give sealed bids. It is found that the decision probability combination of the different mills follow a special form of attractor an...
متن کاملAnalysis of implementation of Tradable Green Certificates system in a competitive electricity market: a game theory approach
This paper investigates three models to implement Tradable Green Certificates (TGC) system with aid of game theory approach. In particular, the competition between thermal and renewable power plants is formulated in three models: namely cooperative, Nash and Stackelberg game models. The price of TGC is assumed to be determined by the legislative body (government) which is fixed. Numerical examp...
متن کاملNash equilibrium strategy in the deregulated power industry and comparing its lost welfare with Iran wholesale electricity market
With the increasing use of different types of auctions in market designing, modeling of participants’ behaviors to evaluate the market structure is one of the main discussions in the studies related to the deregulated power industries. In this article, we apply an approach of the optimal bidding behavior to the Iran wholesale electricity market as a restructured electric power industry and mode...

Resonating valence bond states in a doped Mott insulator was proposed to explain superconductivity in cuprates in January 1987 by Anderson. A challenging task then was proving existence of this unconventional mechanism and a wealth of possibilities, with a rigor acceptable in standard condensed matter physics, in a microscopic theory and develop suitable many body techniques. Shortly, a paper...
