A comparison of penalty shootout designs in soccer
László Csató
Penalty shootout in soccer is recognized to be unfair because the team kicking first in all rounds enjoys a significant advantage. The so-called Catch-Up Rule has been suggested re…
Complexity of Stability in Trading Networks
Tamás Fleiner, Zsuzsanna Jankó, Ildikó Schlotter +1
Efficient computability is an important property of solution concepts in matching markets. We consider the computational complexity of finding and verifying various solution concep…
The incentive (in)compatibility of group-based qualification systems

The paper investigates the qualification for the UEFA Champions League, the most prestigious club competition in European football with respect to the theoretical property of strat…
Axiomatizations of inconsistency indices for triads
László Csató
Pairwise comparison matrices often exhibit inconsistency, therefore many indices have been suggested to measure their deviation from a consistent matrix. A set of axioms has been p…
