An appendix to Concordance among Holdouts

چکیده
This appendix reviews and extends Cournot’s classic results, connecting them to the design of mechanisms for multilateral trade. Little in this section is “new”, as it largely seeks to unify the proofs of disparate results in the literature. However, we believe that this simple united treatment helps emphasize the connections among a variety of issues previously discussed in isolation and thereby emphasizes the importance of the holdout problem we address in the main text of the paper

Market design is crucial, as fully respecting property rights of many sellers eventually eliminates all trade. We propose a Concordance principle, inspired by Cournot (1838)’s theory of concours de producteurs: divide profits by exogenously and impose a Pigouvian t...

In a deception paradigm, participants believed they were engaged in a computer-mediated mock jury deliberation about a murder case. In actuality, the interaction was scripted. The script included 5 other mock jurors who provided verdicts and comments...
