This paper studies models where the correspondences (or functions) under consideration are never increasing (or weakly decreasing) in endogenous variables, and weakly increasing in exogenous parameters. Such models include games of strategic substitutes, and include cases where additionally,...

Based on the critical assumption of strategic complementarity, this paper builds a general model to describe and solve the screening problem faced by the monopolist seller of a network good. By applying monotone comparative static tools, we demonstrate that the joint presence of asymmetric...

Observing that existing models of inter-organisational information systems (IOIS) have not been developedto explain IOIS variance, in this paper the authors develop three criteria a new theoretical framework shouldmeet: 1) It should support identification of and distinction between essential...
