Software *
- Repeated Games Solver [rgsolve]
- AuctionSolver
Downloadable,
freeware, software for calculating Nash equilibria in
several different auction mechanisms. Includes a
2-bidder, N-bidder,
and symmetric solver. The N-bidder solver allows the user to choose
from several different solution methods, including (i) fixed
point iterations (ii) backwards shooting and (iii)
projection methods
- Game
Solver
Solves for Nash
equilibria in two-player M
× N normal form
games. One can calculate for all equilibria reachable
via the Lemke-Howson algorithm, or enumerate all extreme
equilibria in the game via the EEE-I algorithm.
- General
Equilibrium Solver
Solves for general
(competitive) equilibrium prices and allocations in an N household, M firm economy with an
optional public sector. Can handle simple exchange
economies, and economies with production, taxation,
etc. The model is static. The algorithm uses is
a modification of Herbert Scarf’s simplical subdivision
algorithm.
