Time Limits as Incentives in an Adversary System

The Power and Limits of Tournament Incentives

Tournaments provide incentives through the prize spread. Agents are predicted to work harder for higher prize spreads, and thus principals are predicted to maximize the spread. This paper shows experimentally how changing institutional environments affect the way that principals structure tournament incentives, and the degree of wage compression. While in some settings tournaments provide power...

Censoring Representations with an Adversary

In practice, there are often explicit constraints on what representations or decisions are acceptable in an application of machine learning. For example it may be a legal requirement that a decision must not favour a particular group. Alternatively it can be that that representation of data must not have identifying information. We address these two related issues by learning flexible represent...

Group Incentives versus Individual Incentives in Knowledge Management System

The existence of an optimal level of knowledge sharing has often been identified as a prime antecedent of effective knowledge management. Organizations often devote much effort towards ensuring an adequate level of knowledge sharing between members of their organization, and tend to rely on incentive systems, also referred to as ‘extrinsic benefits’, to encourage this. While developing incentiv...
