In this paper, we develop an approximation scheme for solving bilevel programs with
equilibrium constraints, which are generally difficult to solve. Among other things, calculating …

In blockchain systems, the design of transaction fee mechanisms (TFMs) is essential for
stability and satisfaction for both miners and users. A recent work has proven the …

In practice, incentive providers (ie, principals) often cannot observe the reward realizations
of incentivized agents, which is in contrast to many principal-agent models that have been …

How to design tolls that induce socially optimal traffic loads with dynamically arriving
travelers who make selfish routing decisions? We propose a two-timescale discrete-time …

Motivated by a number of real-world applications from domains like healthcare and
sustainable transportation, in this paper we study a scenario of repeated principal-agent …

This letter studies a class of network games with linear-quadratic payoffs and externalities
exerted through a strictly concave interaction function. This class of game is motivated by the …

A central challenge in using price signals to coordinate the electricity consumption of a
group of users is the operator's lack of knowledge of the users due to privacy concerns. In …

We study the problem of designing incentives to induce desired equilibrium in taxi
repositioning problems. In this scenario, self-interested idle drivers will update their …

The modern landscape of operations management (OM) has undergone a profound
paradigm shift driven by two surging forces: 1) the integration of expansive real-time data …

Causal phenomena associated with rare events occur across a wide range of engineering
problems, such as risk-sensitive safety analysis, accident analysis and prevention, and …
