Incentive-Centered Design for Security [PDF]
IEEE Security & Privacy Magazine, 2009 Security problems are incentives problems: we build defenses because people want to do things that (intentionally or inadvertently) cause harm. Yet, much research disregards systematic study of the motivations of smart, responsive, autonomous humans in the loop. Meanwhile, the maturing sciences of motivated behavior offer a growing body of theoretical,

Organizational Design: Culture and Incentives
, 2021 Why do some organizations perform so much better than others, and often persistently so? While the economics literature traditionally emphasizes the importance of incentives, other social sciences focus on the role of organizational culture. Yet very little is known about how an organization's incentive structure and its culture jointly shapes its ...

SystemsPublic transit subsidization often suffers from a double (or bilateral) moral hazard problem, where both regulators and operators may reduce their efforts due to information asymmetry, thereby compromising service quality despite significant public ...

Incentive Mechanism Design for Crowdsourcing-Based Indoor Localization
IEEE Access, 2018 Wi-Fi-based indoor localization system needs to construct a radio map by site surveys. The process of site surveys is time-consuming and crowdsourcing is one feasible option to tackle this issue. Meanwhile, privacy protection has drawn concerns from both

Incentive Design With Spillovers
Proceedings of the 26th ACM Conference on Economics and ComputationA principal uses payments conditioned on stochastic outcomes of a team project to elicit costly effort from the team members. We develop a multi-agent generalization of a classic first-order approach to contract optimization by leveraging methods from network games. The main results characterize the optimal allocation of incentive pay across agents and

Incentives, Information, and Organizational Design [PDF]
Empirica, 1989 Most economic activity -- and almost all production -- takes place within the context of organizations: Firms, family, and government. In each, there is a large element of collective decision-making. Our mixed attitudes towards this collective decision-making are reflected by a number of popular aphorisms and jokes: While we may claim that "two heads ...

The architecture of blockchain value: capabilities, pillars, and growth dynamics
Frontiers in BlockchainThis paper develops a capability-based framework for understanding the architecture and value of blockchain systems. We classify networks into three paradigms: single-capability systems that deliver one core function, multi-capability systems that ...

Incentive Design for Rational Agents
Proceedings of the TwentyFirst International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and ReasoningWe introduce Incentive Design: a new class of problems for equilibrium verification in multi-agent systems. In our model, agents attempt to maximize their utility functions, which are expressed as formulae in LTL[F], a quantitative extension of Linear Temporal Logic with functions computable in polynomial time.
