BACKGROUND In 2004, the Japanese government permitted medical graduates for the first time to choose their training location directly through a national matching system.

We investigate the domain of comprehensive but not necessarily convex bargaining problems. Without convexity the Nash solution is not well de ̄ned. We propose a new solution, the Nash Extension, that coincides with the Nash solution when S is convex. We characterize it by Weak Pareto Optimality, Symmetry, Scale Invariance, Continuity, and a new axiom, Ethical Monotonicity. Journal of Economic Li...

An exchange economy is modeled as a strategic market game with all pairwise markets available. Existence of noncooperative equilibria is proved. It is shown that if resources are distributed in a skewed manner, in equilibrium prices may not satisfy the no arbitrage condition. One round of trade even with all goods serving as money is not sufficient to provide enough liquidity for efftcient trad...
