Nash meets Rubinstein in final-offer arbitration by Yildiz, Muhamet

“…I consider a final-offer arbitration model in which the offers are submitted sequentially, the parties are allowed to accept offers, and the arbitrator maximizes Nash's social welfare function. I show that backwards induction in this three-period model leads to the subgame-perfect equilibrium outcome of Rubinstein's infinite-horizon alternating-offer bargaining game.…”

Distributional Properties of Fluid Queues Busy Period and First Passage Times by Zbigniew Palmowski

“…In this paper, I analyze the distributional properties of the busy period in an on-off fluid queue and the first passage time in a fluid queue driven by a finite state Markov process. In particular, I show that the first passage time has a IFR distribution and the busy period in the Anick-Mitra-Sondhi model has a DFR distribution.…”
