Global Approximations for Principal Agent Theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
Principal Agent Theory (PAT) seeks to identify incentives and sanctions that a consumer should offer a producer as part of a contract in order to maximise the former’s utility. However, identifying optimal contracts in large systems is difficult, particularly when little information is available about producer competencies. In this work we propose that a global contract be used to govern such interactions, derived from the properties of a representative agent. After describing how such a contract can be obtained, we analyse the contract utility space and its properties. Finally, we suggest how our work can be integrated with existing work on multi-agent systems.

Rediefining the Government-University Relationship using the Principal-Agent Theory
Government–university relationship has always been challenging. Many theories have emerged to explain this relationship. Among them, the principal-agent theory (PAT) has mainly developed in recent decades. This research aims to utilize PAT as a theoretical framework to redefine the government-university relationship to discover the insights agency theory can offer in this context. From the view...
متن کاملSpatial games and global optimization for mobile association problems
The basic optimal transportation problem consists in finding the most effective way of moving masses from one location to another, while minimizing the transportation cost. Such concept has been found to be useful to understand various mathematical, economical, and control theory phenomena, such as Witsenhausen’s counterexample in stochastic control theory, principal-agent problem in microecono...

In this dissertation, control methodologies for systems of multiple mobile agents facing multiple objectives are considered. Carefully constructed objective functions for agents interested in any or all of collision avoidance, robust communications, waypoint following, and dynamic coverage objectives are presented. Theory relevant to gradient-like control laws designed using over-approximations...

In recent decade in developing countries, lack of government budget or lack of access to modern technology, persuade governments to attract private sector participation in the economy. One of the most common methods is Public-Private Partnership agreements. The real implementation of this type of partnership needs to set contracts that satisfies preferences of both parties. This research aims t...
متن کاملCommon Fixed Points and Invariant Approximations for Cq-commuting Generalized nonexpansive mappings
Some common fixed point theorems for Cq-commuting generalized nonexpansive mappings have been proved in metric spaces. As applications, invariant approximation results are also obtained. The results proved in the paper extend and generalize several known results including those of M. Abbas and J.K. Kim [Bull. Korean Math. Soc. 44(2007) 537-545], I. Beg, N. Shahzad and M. Iqbal [Approx. Theory A...
