This paper generalises the classic two-player war of attrition game with complete information to a game in which N heterogeneous players compete for N − K prizes. The game with K = 1 may have a nondegenerate equilibrium in which the players’ strategies follow exponential distributions. The...

A social choice rule (SCR) $F$ maps preference profiles to lotteries over some finite set of outcomes. $F$ is virtually implementable in (pure and mixed) Nash equilibria provided that for all $\epsilon 0$, there exists a mechanism such that for each preference profile $\theta$, its set of Nash...

We study a preferred equity infusion government program set to mitigate interbank contagion. Financial institutions are prone to insolvency risk channeled through the network of interbank debt and to the risk of bank runs. The government seeks to maximize, under budget constraints, the total net...
