Journal of Health Communication, 2011
This article discusses incentives to help make healthy choices the easy choices for individuals, operating at the levels of the individual, producers and service providers, and governments.

Third Latin American Web Congress (LA-WEB'2005), 2005
We consider a setting in which users seeking information or services can pose queries, together with incentives for answering them, that are propagated along paths in a network. This type of information-seeking process can be formulated as a game among the nodes in the network, and this game has a natural Nash equilibrium.

This paper analyzes the problem of inducing the members of an organization to behave as if they formed a team. Considered is a conglomerate-type organization consisting of a set of semi-autonomous subunits that are coordinated by the organization's head. The head's incentive problem is to choose a set of employee compensation rules that will induce his

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2011 This paper characterizes the structure of monetary incentives in an organization with varying differences in employee status. With the help of a moral hazard framework with limited liability we show that for agents with lower outside option increased status leads to lower incentive pay whereas exactly the opposite happens for agents with higher outside

Empirical Economics, 2010
This paper examines how grade incentives affect student learning across a variety of courses at two universities, using for identification the discrete rewards offered by the standard A-F letter grade system. We develop five predictions about effort provision in the presence of the thresholds that separate these discrete rewards, only one of which has ...

Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2015
In a basic economic system, each participant receives a (financial) reward according to his own contribution to the system. In this work, we study an alternative approach — Incentive Networks — in which a participant's reward depends not only on his own contribution; but also in part on the contributions made by his social contacts or ...

Proceedings of the IEEE, 1985
The structure of electric rates is increasingly being used as a demand-side tool by U.S. electric utilities. Over the past decade, more than half of the larger utilities have implemented either rates which vary by time-of-day, or where discounts are given to customers who reduce loads upon request.
