Incentives Research for Enterprises to Participate in VEP in the Multitask Principal-Agent Model
SHS Web of Conferences, 2015 As a comprehensive environmental management system with a higher statutory environmental standard, Voluntary Environmental Program has become a trend of international environmental policy and the essence of it is a multi-agency task, in which government (

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Optimal time-based and cost-based contracts in construction projects under asymmetric information
Journal of Civil Engineering and ManagementA project owner (principal) delegates a project to a contractor (agent). Because the contractor has construction experience, he has private information about the project’s expected completion time.

Principle – Agent Model for Sleeping Partnership Moral hazard [PDF]
Faslnāmah-i Pizhūhish/Nāmah-i Iqtisādī, 2011 Game theory has a significant role in contemporary orthodox economics. This theory studies the strategic behavior of players. So strategic interaction is the key point in the games theory. Principalagent model is an application of the theory. This model

The role of histone modifications in transcription regulation upon DNA damage
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This review discusses the critical role of histone modifications in regulating gene expression during the DNA damage response (DDR). By modulating chromatin structure and recruiting repair factors, these post‐translational modifications fine‐tune transcriptional programmes to maintain genomic stability.

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...

The newfound relationship between extrachromosomal DNAs and excised signal circles
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNAs) contribute to the progression of many human cancers. In addition, circular DNA by‐products of V(D)J recombination, excised signal circles (ESCs), have roles in cancer progression but have largely been overlooked. In this Review, we explore the roles of ecDNAs and ESCs in cancer development, and highlight why these ...

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.

Government subsidies in public-private partnership projects based on altruistic theory
International Journal of Strategic Property Management, 2020 Nowadays, the public-private partnership (PPP) scheme has been widely adopted in infrastructure projects around the world. In PPP projects, the governments participate as a principal and the investors play the role of an agent, and therefore their ...

Job Design and Randomization in Principal Agent Models [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2008 We analyze task allocation and randomization in Principal Agent models. We identify a new rationale that determines the allocation of tasks and show that it can be optimal to assign tasks that are very different to one agent. Similar to randomization, the reason to assign several tasks to one agent is to mitigate the effect of the participation ...
