Research Type Theoretical We study the structure and performance of equilibria in this game. For random tie breaking, we characterize the equilibria of the game, and show that the expected social welfare in equilibrium is nearly optimal, despite competition among the agents. For ranked tie breaking, we give a full characterization of equilibria in the 3-agent game, and show that as the number of agents grows, the winning probability of every agent under non-immediate selections approaches her winning probability under immediate selections.

Pseudocode No The paper describes strategies and algorithms in natural language and bullet points (e.g., 'If t n, then select the maximal available award.'), but does not present structured pseudocode blocks or algorithms labeled as such.
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide any links to open-source code for the methodology described. It refers to a full version on arXiv, which is a preprint server, not a code repository.
Open Datasets No The paper is theoretical and does not involve empirical experiments with datasets; therefore, no public dataset information for training is provided.
Dataset Splits No The paper is theoretical and does not involve empirical experiments or datasets, so it does not discuss training/validation/test splits.
Hardware Specification No The paper is theoretical and does not mention any specific hardware used for running experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper is theoretical and does not mention any specific software dependencies with version numbers.
Experiment Setup No The paper is theoretical and does not describe an experimental setup with hyperparameters or system-level training settings.
