Speaker: Dominik Peters  Abstract: Lindahl equilibrium is a solution concept for allocating a fixed budget across several divisible public goods. It always lies in the core, meaning that the equilibrium allocation satisfies desirable stability and proportional fairness properties. We consider a model where agents have separable linear utility functions over the public goods, and the output… Read More »Computing Lindahl Equilibrium for Public Goods with and without Funding Caps

Speaker: Neeldhara Misra Abstract: Suppose there are n horses and we have a track with k lanes. If we pick k horses to run a race, a linear ordering is established among the chosen horses, based only on the finishing order (race time is not considered). How many races do we need to organize to determine the… Read More »How many matches does it take to find a champion?
