This study present a fiscal transfer scheme in two-tiers governmental system in a nation consisting of a national government and municipalities. A benevolent national government tries to maximize Benthamitie social welfare considering voluntary reorganization of municipalities. For achieving the purpose, the national government offers a different amount of fiscal transfer to each combination of municipal...
In order to improve performance of enterprises, the mathematical analysis method is used to design an incentive mechanism for managers. Results show that constraint degree, supervision strength, supervision motive, incentive strength, incentive direction, incentive frequencies are main influencing factors. Therefore, measures should be taken to enhance strength of these factors.
Peer-to-peer (P2P) networks offer a cost effective and easily deployable framework for sharing user-generated content. However, intrinsic incentive problems reside in P2P networks as the transfer of content incurs costs both to uploaders and to downloaders while the benefit accrues only to downloaders. We investigate the issues of incentives in content production and sharing over P2P networks using...
This paper characterizes the decision-makings in agency-chain with characteristics of multi-dimensional game. Game in the multilayer principal-agent relationships is played between participants' decision vectors rather than their single decisions. Our models demonstrate that within a decision vector horizontally, the effort choice and the incentive choice are substituted in some certain degree. Our...
A series of economic game experiments have been proving that most people are not only self-interest but also inequity averse, and hereby will suffer disutility in the face of any unfair allocation. However, the standard contract theory, which accepts the traditional economic assumption of self-interest, has ignored inequity aversion. In this paper, by incorporating the inequity aversion into the standard...
This research examines the incentive strategy of defense supply chain when using contracted supplier to react to emergent affairs. We model the channel member as between a supplier and a defense purchaser, and treat the demand as being linear in delivery time. We use this analysis to show that incentive is very important to delivery in time, and the purchaser must adjust the strategy when demand-time...
