We consider multi-player stopping games in continuous time. Unlike Dynkin games, in our games the payoff of each player is revealed after all the players stop. Moreover, each player can adjust her own stopping strategy by observing other players' behaviors. Assuming the continuity of the payoff...

We consider two-player non-zero-sum stopping games in discrete time. Unlike Dynkin games, in our games the payoff of each player is revealed after both players stop. Moreover, each player can adjust her own stopping strategy according to the other player's action. In the first part of the paper,...

We consider a two-player non-zero-sum stopping game in which the payoff of each player is revealed when both players stop, instead of it being revealed after the first player's stopping time. Such problems appear in the context of economics and finance, e.g., when two company try to choose good...

Common ownership by institutional investors disincentivizes patent-related innovation by significantly reducing the quantity, private value, originality, and generality of patents. Firms lower their patent weapons as competition is relaxed by common ownership. The disincentive impact is...
