This paper uses recent results from incentive theory to study heretofore informal critiques of piece-rate compensation schemes. The informal critiques are based on the history of failed attempts to install piece-rate compensation schemes at the turn of the century. The formal analysis empahsizes the importance of information and commitment in contracting. In particular, in a work environment ch...
متن کاملCooperation Incentive Schemes
Decentralized systems, like peer-to-peer and ad hoc systems, may address scalability through the handing of system operational mechanisms over to the entities forming the system, in an autonomous manner. This paradigm raises concerns, in particular with respect to the establishment of trust between such entities, to the stimulation of their cooperation, and to the fairness of their respective c...

Fig. 1. OpenSense air pollution sensors that could be used in community sensing. Top left: on top of a bus; bottom left: on top of a tram; top right: attached to a solar-powered weather station on a building; and bottom right: attached to a smartphone. Sensing is an important part of computational sustainability, where evidence are collected about important environmental phenomena that are not ...
متن کاملIncentive Schemes for Participatory Sensing
We consider a participatory sensing scenario where a group of private sensors observes the same phenomenon, such as air pollution. Since sensors need to be installed and maintained, owners of sensors are inclined to provide inaccurate or random data. We design a novel payment mechanism that incentivizes honest behavior by scoring sensors based on the quality of their reports. The basic principl...

For example, school league tables, hospital star ratings, and various schemes for local government, such as Comprehensive Performance Assessment (CPA), have been introduced in the last twenty years or so. Moreover, with few excepti...
