Adaptive Incentive Design [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, 2021 We apply control theoretic and optimization techniques to adaptively design incentives. In particular, we consider the problem of a planner with an objective that depends on data from strategic decision makers. The planner does not know the process by which the strategic agents make decisions. Under the assumption that the agents are utility maximizers,

Multiprincipals Multiagents Incentive Design [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2000 The authors study the design of incentives through contractual arrangements in a model consisting of two ex ante identical principal-agent pairs. The notion of an epsilon contracting equilibrium has been introduced to predict the outcome of the principals contract game, which enables to approximate the discontinuities of payoff functions.

Incentive Design under Loss Aversion [PDF]
Journal of the European Economic Association, 2007 Compensation schemes often reward success b ut do not penalize failure. Fixed salaries with stock options or bonuses have this feature. Yet the standard principal–agent model implies that pay is normally monotonically increasing in performance. This paper shows that, under loss aversion, there will be intervals over which pay is insensitive to ...
