No algorithm is an island – algorithms constantly interact with self-interested players. Algorithmic Game Theory (AGT) has thus far concentrated on one aspect of this: the algorithm's input is reported by such players. Incentivizing truthful reports is the focus of mechanism design in economics, and in AGT, algorithmic mechanism design became a hugely successful research area. We propose to apply the algorithmic lens to a different but no less important field in economics called contract design, recognized by the 2016 Nobel Prize. The essence of a contract is to incentivize players' actions (rather than reports). It is thus extremely relevant to another way in which algorithms interact with…
