Innovation and Crowdsourcing Contests
This thesis studies contests (also called tournaments) wherein a contest organizer seeks solutions to a problem from independent agents. The seeker employs a subset of these solutions, and awards the best solution(s). For example, since 2012, Samsung has organized an innovation contest, called the Smart App Challenge, that invites independent programmers to develop novel applications for its mo...
متن کاملEfficient crowdsourcing contests
A principal seeks production of a good within a limited timeframe with a hard deadline, after which any good procured has no value. There is inherent uncertainty in the production process, which in light of the deadline may warrant simultaneous production of multiple goods by multiple producers despite there being no marginal value for extra goods beyond the maximum quality good produced. This ...
متن کاملOptimal crowdsourcing contests
We study the design and approximation of optimal crowdsourcing contests. Crowdsourcing contests can be modeled as all-pay auctions because entrants must exert effort up-front to enter. Unlike all-pay auctions where a usual design objective would be to maximize revenue, in crowdsourcing contests, the principal only benefits from the submission with the highest quality. We give a theory for optim...
متن کاملSalience Bias in Crowdsourcing Contests
Crowdsourcing relies on online platforms to connect a community of users to perform specific tasks. However, without appropriate control, the behavior of the online community might not align with the platform’s designed objective, which can lead to an inferior platform performance. This paper investigates how the feedback information on a crowdsourcing platform and systematic bias of crowdsourc...
متن کاملOptimal Design of Crowdsourcing Contests
This paper provides a game theoretic model of a crowdsourcing contest. Special attention is given to the asymptotic behavior of the contest outcome. We show that all significant outcomes of crowdsourcing contests will be determined by contestants in a small neighborhood (core) of the most efficient contestant type; in particular, the asymptotic structure of the crowdsourcing contests is distrib...
