Coalition Formation in Games with Externalities (2022)
Journal Article
Montero, M. (2022). Coalition Formation in Games with Externalities. Dynamic Games and Applications, https://doi.org/10.1007/s13235-022-00460-0

This paper studies an extensive form game of coalition formation with random proposers in games with externalities. It is shown that an agreement will be reached without delay if any set of coalitions profits from merging. Even under this strong cond...

Prediction of nitrogen excretion from data on dairy cows fed a wide range of diets compiled in an intercontinental database: A meta-analysis (2022)
Journal Article
Bougouin, A., Hristov, A., Dijkstra, J., Aguerre, M. J., Ahvenjärvi, S., Arndt, C., …Kebreab, E. (2022). Prediction of nitrogen excretion from data on dairy cows fed a wide range of diets compiled in an intercontinental database: A meta-analysis. Journal of Dairy Science, 105(9), 7462-7481. https://doi.org/10.3168/jds.2021-20885

Manure nitrogen (N) from cattle contributes to nitrous oxide and ammonia emissions and nitrate leaching. Measurement of manure N outputs on dairy farms is laborious, expensive, and impractical at large scales; therefore, models are needed to predict...

We study two generic versions of public goods problems: in Provision problems, the public good does not exist initially and needs to be provided; in Maintenance problems, the public good already exists and needs to be maintained. In four lab and onli... Read More about Preferences and Perceptions in Provision and Maintenance Public Goods.
