SUMMARY:Department of Economics Seminar with Professor Nejat Anbarci, Durham University
DESCRIPTION:Professor Anbarci's research interests lie broadly in the fields of economic theory, behavioural eonomics and political economy. He published research articles at journals such as Quarterly Journal of Economics, Management Science, Journal of Economic Theory, Journal of Public Economics among others.     Abstract: In dispute resolution, arbitrator assignments are decentralized and also incorporate parties' preferences, in total contrast to referee assignments in sports. We suggest that there can be gains (i) in dispute resolution from centralizing the allocation by bundling the newly arriving cases, and (ii) in sports from incorporating teams' preferences. To that end, we introduce a class of Arbiter Assignment Problems where a set of matches (e.g., disputes or games), each made up of two agents, are to be assigned arbiters (e.g., arbitrators or referees). On this domain, the question of how agents in a match should compromise becomes critical. To evaluate the value of an arbiter for a match, we introduce the (Rawlsian) notion of depth, defined as the arbiter's worst position in the two agents' rankings. Depth optimal assignments minimize depth over matches, and they are Pareto optimal. We introduce and analyze depth optimal (and fair) mechanisms. https://events.st-andrews.ac.uk/events/department-of-economics-seminar-with-professor-nejat-anbarci-durham-university/
