Stable Bank Cooperation for Cost Reduction Problem
E. Parilina, A. Sedakov
Abstract: In the paper we consider a problem of bank cost reduction by joint usage of ATMs. In coalition case, we assume that cooperation may be naturally restricted by a coalition structure. A question of stability of a coalition structure with respect to the Shapley value is investigated. Statements about the configuration of stable coalition structures are proposed. We also consider special cases in which their existence is proved.
Keywords: coalition structure, stability, cost allocation problem, Shapley value, Aumann–Dreze value

On the Turnpike Property of the Modified Golden Rule
D. Dai
Abstract: Stationary and ergodic probability distribution is derived and the stochastic balanced path of capital accumulation is defined via corresponding martingale path. Moreover, stochastic version of asymptotic turnpike theorem is established in the sense of uniform topology and also neighborhood type of stochastic turnpike theorem is demonstrated in the sense of ergodic measure.
Keywords: stochastic growth, modified golden rule, turnpike theorem, ergodic consumption, martingale-path of capital accumulation

Expectations of Bailout and Collective Moral Hazard
M. Horniaček
Abstract: We analyze infinite horizon stochastic game with discounting of future single period payoffs that models interaction between Cournot duopolists producing differentiated products. There are two states of demand for output of each firm. The probabilities of their occurrence depend on random factors and on investing or not investing into product innovation. If the low state of demand occurs for output of each firm the government, which does not observe firms' investments into product innovation, bails out each firm with a positive output. A weakly renegotiation-proof perfect public equilibrium is the solution concept that we apply. It is a perfect public equilibrium in which no two replaceable continuation equilibrium payoff vectors are strictly Pareto ranked. Taking into account expected bail out, there exists a weakly renegotiation-proof perfect public equilibrium with strictly Pareto efficient equilibrium payoff vector, in which, along the equilibrium path, the firms collude on not investing into product innovation.
Keywords: bailout, innovation, perfect public equilibrium, weakly renegotiation-proof equilibrium, stochastic game

JournalGuide
19/05/2014
We encourage all authors of the papers reviewed at CER to rate our journal in the JournalGuide. JournalGuide is a free tool that helps researchers to evaluate scholarly journals. JournalGuide is a division of Research Square, which makes it a sister company to Rubriq (independent peer review) and AJE (manuscript preparation services).

The Review of Economics becomes our new partner journal
14/02/2014
The Review of Economics (ISSN 0948-5139) is a peer-reviewed general interest journal and publishes articles from all fields of economics. Only articles with a strong policy focus are considered for publication. The Review of Economics will consider papers that are based on (i) a well defined theoretical model (ii) an empirical analysis or (iii) an experimental or (iv) an evidence-based framework. The journal is included in the list of journals used to construct the German Handelsblatt-Ranking of individual researchers and economics faculties. The journal was formely known as Jahrbuch für Wirtschaftswissenschaften.
CER articles
07/02/2014
For local authors: We have received an official confirmation that a CER article is currently valued by 10 points by the Research, Development and Innovation Council of the Czech Republic.
Statistics of the last 6 years
05/02/2014
- 72 articles accepted (50 international, 22 local)
- 78 articles rejected (64 international, 14 local)
- 48% is the acceptance rate.
- 69% is the share of the international articles among the accepted articles.
Notes: We consider a paper to be local if affiliation of any author is located in the Czech Republic. Otherwise, it is classified as an international article. In the statistics, we do not include the pilot year 2007 (Vol. 1).

RePEc (Research Papers in Economics) is a volunteer-driven initiative to create a public-access database that promotes scholarly communication in economics and related disciplines. The database contains information on about 1.4 million research pieces. RePEc is providing ranking of leading economic journals by so called simple impact factor (a ratio of citations by the number of items in the journals, citation counts being adjusted to exclude citations from the journal considered).
