Candidate quality in a Downsian model with a continuous policy space
(2012)This paper characterizes a unique mixed strategy Nash equilibrium in a one-dimensional Downsian model of two-candidate elections with a continuous policy space, where candidates are office motivated and one candidate enjoys ...

Equilibria in unidirectional spatial models
(2013)This paper (a) characterizes the unique Nash equilibrium of the unidirectional Hotelling-Downs game in which firms maximize their market shares, for any distribution of the consumers, and (b) analyzes equilibrium behavior ...

Mixed equilibria in runoffelections
(2014)We demonstrate that the Hotelling-Downs model with runoffvoting always admits symmetric mixed strategy equilibria for any (even or odd) number of office-motivated candidates (provided they are at least four). In specific, ...

Mixed strategy equilibrium in a Downsian model with a favored candidate: A comment
(2012)This note complements Aragonès and Palfrey (2002) [2] by providing upper and lower bounds of the equilibrium payoff of the advantaged (disadvantaged) candidate for any symmetric distribution of the median voter's ideal ...

Nash equilibria in discrete routing games with convex latency functions
(2008)In a discrete routing game, each of n selfish users employs a mixed strategy to ship her (unsplittable) traffic over m parallel links. The (expected) latency on a link is determined by an arbitrary non-decreasing, non-constant ...

A new model for selfish routing
(2008)In this work, we introduce and study a new, potentially rich model for selfish routing over non-cooperative networks, as an interesting hybridization of the two prevailing such models, namely the KPmodel [E. Koutsoupias, ...
