Breakdowns

G Keller, S Rady - Theoretical Economics, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
We study a continuous‐time game of strategic experimentation in which the players try to
assess the failure rate of some new equipment or technology. Breakdowns occur at the jump …

A mean field games model for cryptocurrency mining

Z Li, AM Reppen, R Sircar - Management Science, 2024 - pubsonline.informs.org
We propose a mean field game model to study the question of how centralization of reward
and computational power occur in Bitcoin-like cryptocurrencies. Miners compete against …

Fracking, renewables, and mean field games

P Chan, R Sircar - SIAM Review, 2017 - SIAM
The dramatic decline in oil prices, from around 110perbarrelinJune2014tolessthan 40 in
March 2016, highlights the importance of competition between different energy sources …

Oligopoly games under asymmetric costs and an application to energy production

A Ledvina, R Sircar - Mathematics and Financial Economics, 2012 - Springer
Oligopolies in which firms have different costs of production have been relatively under-
studied. In contrast to models with symmetric costs, some firms may be inactive in …

Compensation disclosures and strategic commitment: Evidence from revenue-based pay

MJ Bloomfield - Journal of Financial Economics, 2021 - Elsevier
A 2006 rule change in the United States mandated that publicly traded firms provide more
detailed disclosures about executives' compensation plans. In response to the new …

[图书][B] Game theoretic models for energy production

M Ludkovski, R Sircar - 2015 - Springer
We give a selective survey of oligopoly models for energy production which capture to
varying degrees issues such as exhaustibility of fossil fuels, development of renewable …

Oil prices & dynamic games under stochastic demand

I Brown, J Funk, R Sircar - Available at SSRN 3047390, 2017 - papers.ssrn.com
Oil prices remained relatively low but volatile in the 2015-17 period, largely due to declining
and uncertain demand from China. This follows a prolonged decline from around $110 per …

Technology ladders and R&D in dynamic Cournot markets

M Ludkovski, R Sircar - Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control, 2016 - Elsevier
Motivated by dramatic and unpredictable technological advances in energy production (for
instance drilling and extraction of shale oil), we extend Cournot models of competition to …

Mean field game approach to production and exploration of exhaustible commodities

M Ludkovski, X Yang - arXiv preprint arXiv:1710.05131, 2017 - arxiv.org
In a game theoretic framework, we study energy markets with a continuum of homogenous
producers who produce energy from an exhaustible resource such as oil. Each producer …

[图书][B] Dynamic Cournot models for production of exhaustible commodities under stochastic demand

M Ludkovski, X Yang - 2015 - Springer
We extend the dynamic Cournot model of Ludkovski and Sircar (2011) by considering
stochastic demand. We analyze a duopoly between an exhaustible producer and a “green” …
