Incentive Mechanisms for Multi-agent Organizational Systems

Abstract

This work considers game-theoretic models of incentive mechanisms for multi-agent organizational systems. Three main principles of optimal incentive scheme design for interacting agents are derived, namely, the principle of compensation, the principle of decomposition and the principle of aggregation. Models of agents’ self-coordination are explored in terms of side-payoff games. And finally, we study identification problems for agents’ preferences.
