The following properties of the core of a one-to-one matching problem are well-known: (i) the core is non-empty; (ii) the core is a lattice; and (iii) the set of unmatched agents is identical for any two matchings belonging to the core. The literature on two-sided matching focuses almost exclusively on the core and studies extensively its properties. Our main result is the following characteriz...

‎In this paper‎, ‎we have dealt with the distribution theory of concomitants of order statistics arising from Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern bivariate Lomax distribution‎. ‎We have discussed the estimation of the parameters associated with the distribution of the variable Y of primary interest‎, ‎based on the ranked set sample defined by ordering the marginal observations...

In hydrologic risk analysis, the use of exceedance statistics are very important. this sense, we construct a random threshold model based on bivariate order statistics. The exact distribution is calculated under some well-known copulas such as independent and Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern (FGM) copulas. Furthermore, numerical results provided for expected value variance application in hydrology als...

This paper studies farsighted behavior of firms in an oligopolistic market to form a dominant cartel, which has a power to set and control the price in the market. The von Neumann-Morgenstern stable set is adopted as the solution concept. In contrast to the literature, we do not assume a priori the optimal pricing behavior of the cartel; rather, we show that such behavior arises from the result...

The set of dependent random variables with multivariate FarlieGumbel-Morgenstern (FGM) distribution is considered. For the simple multivariate FGM distributions the admissible range of association parameters are investigated. Distributional properties of some exceedance statistics of finite FGM sequences with respect to a random threshold are studied. Some results characterizing symmetry of the...

Solymosi and Raghavan (2001) characterize the stability of the core of the assignment game by means of a property of the valuation matrix. They show that the core of an assignment game is a von Neumann-Morgenstern stable set if and only if its valuation matrix has a dominant diagonal. Their proof makes use of some graphtheoretical tools, while the present proof relies on the notion of buyer-sel...

John von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern formulated extensive games in their book: "Theory of Games and Economic Behavior" (1944). A few years later, Kuhn (1953) gave a simpler description of an extensive game, which we will follow here. The description has proved very beneficial for analysing strategic situations with several players. It is general enough to incorporate differences in: the infor...

We reconsider the problem of aggregating individual preference orderings into a single social ordering when alternatives are lotteries and individual preferences are of the von Neumann-Morgenstern type. Relative egalitarianism ranks alternatives by applying the leximin ordering to the distributions of (0-1) normalized utilities they generate. We propose an axiomatic characterization of this agg...
