Foundations of Algorithmic Contract Theory
Algorithmic game theory (AGT) lies at the intersection of algorithms and incentives, offering a framework for the design of algorithms that provide incentives for collaboration in computational markets. AGT has played a pivotal role in shaping vital computing platforms. One of the most influential fields within AGT is algorithmic mechanism design, providing incentives for truthful revelation of private information. An equally important intersection of algorithms and incentives arises in the design of algorithms incentivizing self-interested agents to exert costly effort in executing their tasks. Incentivizing effort was studied with great success in the economics field of contract theory.…
