For matrix games we study how small nonzero probability must be used in optimal strategies. We show that for n × n win-lose-draw games (i.e. (−1, 0, 1) matrix games) nonzero probabilities smaller than n are never needed. We also construct an explicit n × n win-lose game such that the unique optimal strategy uses a nonzero probability as small as n. This is done by constructing an explicit (−1, ...

Sub-Sahara African commodity exporting economies have benefitted greatly from the commodities boom of the past decade. The conventional wisdom argues that resource extraction is corrosive of industrial development due to a combination of the macroeconomic consequences of resource exploitation and the assumed enclave nature of mineral and energy extraction. The paper challenges this pessimistic ...

Interorganizational alliances are widely recognized as critical to product innovation, particularly in high technology markets. Many new product development (NPD) alliances tend to be asymmetric, that is, they are formed between a larger firm and a smaller firm. These asymmetric alliances typically result in changes in the shareholder values of the partner firms. Are the changes in shareholder ...

I alliances are widely recognized as critical to product innovation, particularly in hightechnology markets. Many new product development (NPD) alliances tend to be asymmetric, that is, they are formed between a larger firm and a smaller firm. As is the case with alliances in general, asymmetric alliances also typically result in changes in the shareholder values of the partner firms. Are the c...
