We construct cooperative diversity coding schemes that mitigate the effects of symbol asynchronicity among network users. We do so by modifying, at the expense of implementation practicality, the signaling complexity of well behaved existing schemes. The modification allows the same good performance (DMT optimality) in the presence of synchronicity, and almost-surely permits full-diversity gain...

evaluating and selecting alternatives investment projects needs considering all relevant and important aspects. in traditional methods, the focus is just on tangible monetary criteria. also in the traditional methods, either all the information’s about factors must be known precisely or sufficient objective data must be available for applying probability theory. in this paper, a combinative app...

Theoretical analyses of international environmental agreements (IEAs) have typically employed the concept of self-enforcing agreements to predict the number of parties to such an agreement. The term self-enforcing, however, is a bit misleading. The concept refers to the stability of cooperative agreements, not to enforcing these agreements once they are in place. Most analyses of IEAs simply ig...

We consider a market where there is an agency relationship between the providers of a service or agents and their clients. Agents can choose to work alone or to have a sharing agreement with other agents. Sharing agreements create value by facilitating better matches between clients and agents, but they worsen incentives because of free riding. We show that in the context of a one shot game, th...

There has been a dramatic increase in all forms of international cooperation in science, technology and innovation over the last three decades. This chapter focuses on a specific subset of such cooperative agreements: those that primarily (but not exclusively) involve firms that seek some commercial benefit from the outputs of interfirm collaboration, known as strategic technology partnering (S...

We design an experiment to study how agents make use of different pieces of information in the lab, depending on how many others have access to them and the strategic nature of interaction. Agents receive signals about a payoff relevant parameter, and the information structure is represented by a non directed network, whose nodes are agents and whose links represent sharing agreements. We compa...
