On supermodular contracts and dense subgraphs
We study the combinatorial contract design problem, introduced and studied by Dütting et
al.(2021, 2022), in both the single and multi-agent settings. Prior work has examined the …

Learning to incentivize information acquisition: Proper scoring rules meet principal-agent model
We study the incentivized information acquisition problem, where a principal hires an agent
to gather information on her behalf. Such a problem is modeled as a Stackelberg game …

Optimization of scoring rules
This paper introduces an objective for optimizing proper scoring rules. The objective is to
maximize the increase in payoff of a forecaster who exerts a binary level of effort to refine a …

Algorithmic contract theory: A survey
A contract is an economic tool used by a principal to incentivize one or more agents to exert
effort on her behalf, by defining payments based on observable performance measures. A …

Optimal scoring rules for multi-dimensional effort
This paper develops a framework for the design of scoring rules to optimally incentivize an
agent to exert a multi-dimensional effort. This framework is a generalization to strategic …

Online mechanism design for information acquisition
We study the problem of designing mechanisms for information acquisition scenarios. This
setting models strategic interactions between a uniformed receiver and a set of informed …

Contracts with information acquisition, via scoring rules
This paper considers a principal-agent problem of delegation that features two types of
information asymmetry. A principal delegates a task to the agent; the agent can first choose …

Managing Persuasion Robustly: The Optimality of Quota Rules
We study a sender-receiver model where the receiver can commit to a decision rule before
the sender determines the information policy. The decision rule can depend on the signal …
