Credible Mechanisms

Proceedings of the 2018 ACM Conference on Economics and Computation, 2018
Consider an extensive-form mechanism, run by an auctioneer who communicates sequentially and privately with agents. Suppose the auctioneer can make any deviation that no single agent can detect. We study the mechanisms such that it is incentive-compatible for the auctioneer not to deviate - the credible mechanisms.

Credibility and backlash

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2021
Recent politics has been characterized by politicians’ harsh anti-immigration appeals and backlash against immigrants.

Corporate Communications: An International Journal, 1995

Credibility in Information Retrieval

Foundations and Trends® in Information Retrieval, 2015
Credibility, as the general concept covering trustworthiness and expertise, but also quality and reliability, is strongly debated in philosophy, psychology, and sociology, and its adoption in computer science is therefore fraught with difficulties. Yet its importance has grown in the information access community because of two complementing factors: on

A Theory of Credibility

EVOLUTIONARY HIERARCHICAL CREDIBILITY

ASTIN Bulletin, 2016
AbstractThe hierarchical credibility model was introduced, and extended, in the 70s and early 80s. It deals with the estimation of parameters that characterize the nodes of a tree structure. That model is limited, however, by the fact that its parameters are assumed fixed over time.
