The report encompasses an overview of recent developments concerning cross-monotonic cost sharing methods, a subject that has received a lot of attention from computer scientists, mathematicians and economists recently. In particular, the results of Moulin and Shenker [12], who established the connection between group-strategyproofness and cross-monotonicity, and those of Könemann, Leonardi, an...

This study constructs a regulatory system for information sharing on industrial internet platforms from technical and socio-legal perspective.

BACKGROUND Prescription drugs are used in people with hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease to manage their illness. Patient cost sharing strategies such as copayments and deductibles are often employed to lower expenditures for prescription drug insurance plans, but the impact on health outcomes in these patients is unclear. OBJECTIVE To determine the association between drug in...

In multicast-type services, many users share a single data flow. The question is how to split the cost of such a flow among the users. There is a need to provide users with reasonable feedback on the cost that their network usage incurs. Therefore, cost sharing methods will play an important role in multicast-type services in the future. This paper discusses cost sharing methods where many user...

This paper examines how water quality trading interacts with nonpoint-source abatement cost sharing (e.g., as currently practiced by the National Resource Conservation Service through its Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP)) to promote the participation of nonpoint sources in a water quality market; participation that has thus far been noticeably lacking nationwide. As such, an idea...

A major goal of The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is to broaden health care access through the extension of insurance coverage. However, little attention has been given to growing disparities in access to health care among the insured, as trends to reduce benefits and increase cost sharing (deductibles, co-pays) reduce affordability and access. Through a political economic perspect...
