Such non-monetary cases are social cooperations like allocation of high level jobs or sexual relationships among humans. In a barter double auction, there is a big amount of agents. Every agent has a vector of parameters which specifies his de...

Mathematical programming formulations are developed for determining chains of organ-donation exchange pairs in a compatibility graph where pairwise exchanges may fail. The objective is to maximize the expected value known fail with given probabilities. In previous work, namely that Dickerson et al. (Manag Sci 65(4):323–340, 2019) this NP-hard problem was solved heuristically or exactly only lim...

I examine, in a controlled, experimental laboratory setting, the acceptance of a secondary currency when a primary currency already circulates in an economy. The underlying model is an indivisible good / indivisible money, dual currency search model similar to that in Kiyotaki and Wright (1993) and Craig and Waller (2000). In such models, there are two pure Nash equilibria total acceptance or t...

The present study aims to know the specifications, minting, and usage of contemporary coins in Afghanistan, which can be an important step identifying history Afghanistan by studying it. Before appearance coins, all transactions were done kind, was called kind-to-kind exchange or barter. Since barter associated with many difficulties did not provide for needs general public considering variety ...

Of late online social networks have become popular, with interest spanning various aspects including search, analysis/mining, and their potential use for item barter exchange markets. The idea is that users can leverage their social network for exchanging items they possess with other users. The problem of generating recommendations for item exchanges between users, consisting of synchronous ex...

The rapid development of Internet and e-commerce technologies has led to the exponential growth of online markets in the past decade. Given that these markets are sustained by a community of buyers and sellers, an increasing number of studies have examined online buyer-seller exchange relationships. Whereas most of the existing research is focused on mechanisms to facilitate buyer-seller intera...
