The Adoption of International Labor Standards Conventions : ¤ Who , When and Why ?

The rati ̄cation of ILO Labor Standards Conventions is a key explanatory variable in the empirical literature linking labor standards to economic performance. The assumption is that rati ̄cation gives information on labor standards implemented in a country. This paper tests this assumption, and in doing so it investigates the determinants of rati ̄cation directly and, indirectly, the determinants ...

Ratifiability of efficient collusive mechanisms in second-price auctions with participation costs

We investigate whether e¢ cient collusive bidding mechanisms are a¤ected by potential information leakage from bidders’ decisions to participate in them within the independent private values setting. We apply the concept of rati…ability introduced by Cramton and Palfrey (1995) and show that when the seller uses a second-price auction with participation costs, the standard e¢ cient cartel mechan...

Making Metric Temporal Logic Rational

We study an extension of MTL in pointwise time with rational expression guarded modality RatI(re) where re is a rational expression over subformulae. We study the decidability and expressiveness of this extension (MTL+φURatI,reφ+RatI,reφ), called RatMTL, as well as its fragment SfrMTL where only star-free rational expressions are allowed. Using the technique of temporal projections, we show tha...
