Journal of Management Science and Engineering, 2023 We consider a general framework of optimal contract design under the heterogeneity and short-termism of agents. Our research shows that the optimal contract must weigh the agent's information rent, incentive cost, and benefit to overcome the contract's ...

Optimality of Contraction-Driven Crawling [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2014 We study a model of cell motility where the condition of optimal trade-off between performance and metabolic cost can be made precise. In this model a steadily crawling fragment is represented by a layer of active gel placed on a frictional surface and driven by contraction only.

Optimal combined purchasing strategies for a risk-averse manufacturer under price uncertainty
Journal of Industrial Engineering and Management, 2015 Purpose: The purpose of our paper is to analyze optimal purchasing strategies when a manufacturer can buy raw materials from a long-term contract supplier and a spot market under spot price uncertainty. Design/methodology/approach: This procurement model

Theoretical Aspects Regarding the Optimal Taxation of Effort With More Conditions [PDF]
Revista Română de Statistică, 2017 In this article, the authors propose to conduct a pertinent analysis of the use of mathematical models in relation to optimal effort taxation. The effort taxation must be a balance between allocative efficiency and distribution.

A Solvable Time-Inconsistent Principal-Agent Problem
Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2018 We consider the dynamic contract model with time inconsistency preference of principal-agent problem to study the influence of the time inconsistency preference on the optimal effort and the optimal reward mechanism.

Optimal Contracts for Lenient Supervisors [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2011 We consider a situation where an agent's effort is monitored by a supervisor who cares for the agent's well being. This is modeled by incorporating the agent's utility into the utility function of the supervisor. The first best solution can be implemented even if the supervisor's preferences are unknown. The corresponding optimal contract is similar to
