  • Externalities and the nucleolus 

    Alvarez-Mozos, Mikel; Ehlers, Lars (Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2017-09)
    In most economic applications, externalities prevail: the worth of a coalition depends on how the other players are organized. We show that there is a unique natural way of extending the nucleolus from (coalitional) games without externalities to games ...

    Özgür, Onur (Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2010-06)
    Local interactions refer to social and economic phenomena where individuals' choices are influenced by the choices of others who are "close" to them socially or geographically. This represents a fairly accurate picture of human experience. Furthermore, ...

  • Regulation via the Polluter-Pays Principle 

    Ambec, Stefan; Ehlers, Lars (Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2010-12-13)
    We consider the problem of regulating an economy with environmental pollution. We examine the distributional impact of the polluter-pays principle which requires that any agent compensates all other agents for the damages caused by his or her (pollution) ...

  • Sharing a River among Satiable Countries 

    Ambec, Stefan; Ehlers, Lars (Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2006-07)
    With diminishing global water reserves the problem of water allocation becomes increasingly important. We consider the problem of efficiently sharing a river among a group of satiable countries. Inducing countries to efficiently cooperate requires ...

  • Strategy-proofness and essentially single-valued cores revisited 

    Ehlers, Lars (Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2014-04)
    We consider general allocation problems with indivisibilities where agents' preferences possibly exhibit externalities. In such contexts many different core notions were proposed. One is the gamma-core whereby blocking is only allowed via allocations ...
