Contributing or Free-Riding? A Theory of Endogenous Lobby Formation (2008)
KONISHI, HIDEO, Furusawa, Taiji
We consider a two-stage public goods provision game: In the first stage, players simultaneously decide if they will join a contribution group or not. In the second stage, players in the contribution...

The paper examines formation of free trade agreements (FTAs) as a network formation game. We build an n-country model with quasi-linear utility and a continuum of differentiated industrial goods....

Tiebout's Tale in Spatial Economies: Entrepreneurship, Self-Selection, and Efficiency (2006)

Decentralized Matching Markets with Endogenous Salaries (2006)
Konishi , Hideo, Sapozhnikov , Margarita
In a Shapley-Shubik assignment problem with a supermodular output matrix, we consider games in which each firm makes a take-it-or-leave-it salary offer to one applicant, and a match is made only when...
Referrals in Search Markets (2005)
Arbatskaya, Maria, Konishi, Hideo
This paper compares equilibrium outcomes in search markets with and without referrals. Although consumers would benefit from honest referrals, it is not at all clear whether firms would unilaterally...
Free Trade Networks with Transfers (2004)
Furusawa, Taiji, Konishi, Hideo
The paper investigates the network of bilateral free trade agreements (FTA) in the context of a network formation game with transfers. Furusawa and Konishi (2002) show that without international...
Credible Group-Stability in Multi-Partner Matching Problems (2004)
Konishi, Hideo, Ãnver, M. Ãtku
It is known that in two-sided many-to-many matching problems, pairwise-stable matchings may not be immune to group deviations, unlike in many-to-one matching problems (Blair 1988). In this paper, we...
