Pricing Anonymity
نویسندگان
چکیده
In electronic anonymity markets a taker seeks a specified number of market makers in order to anonymize a transaction or activity. This process requires both coalition formation, in order to create an anonymity set among the taker and makers, and the derivation of the fee that the taker pays each maker. The process has a novel property in that the taker pays for anonymity but anonymity is created for both the taker and the makers. Using the Shapley value for nontransferable utility cooperative games, we characterize the formation of the anonymity set and the fee for any arbitrary number of makers selected by the taker.

These privacy policies shape a firm’s abi...

متن کاملSearch-theoretic Money, Capital and Exchange Rate Fluctuationsf
We explore how the underlying informational frictions, or anonymity, that give rise to the existence of monetary exchange affect international exchange rate dynamics. Using a two-country, two-sector model, we show that information friction implies a particular restriction on domestic relative pricing dynamics and hence on international nominal and real exchange rate determination. Furthermore, ...
متن کاملOn the anonymity of anonymity systems
Anonymity on the Internet is a property commonly identified with privacy of electronic communications. A number of different systems exist which claim to provide anonymous email and web browsing, but their effectiveness has hardly been evaluated in practice.
