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,
