Are rewards or penalties more effective in influencing user behavior? This article compares
the effectiveness of subsidies and tolls in incentivizing user behavior in congestion games …

It is well-known that system performance can experience significant degradation from the
self-interested choices of human users. Accordingly, in this article, we study the question of …

We seek to understand the fundamental mathematics governing infrastructure-scale
interactions between humans and machines, particularly when the machines' intended …

Are subsidies or taxes more effective at influencing user behavior? To answer this question,
we focus on the well-studied framework of atomic congestion games which model resource …

In this paper, we ask how a system designer should endow autonomous vehicles with
general routing policies that are guaranteed to prove beneficial in a wide variety of networks …

We ask if it is possible to positively influence social behavior with no risk of unintentionally
incentivizing pathological behavior. In network routing problems, if network traffic is …

The price of anarchy is the most well-known measure for quantifying the inefficiency of
equilibrium flows in traffic networks and routing games. In this work, we give unifying price of …

We study settings in which autonomous agents are designed to optimize a given system-
level objective. In typical approaches to this problem, each agent is endowed with a decision …

Recent research in the social sciences has identified situations in which small changes in
the way that information is provided to consumers can have large aggregate effects on …

We seek to understand the fundamental mathematics governing infrastructure-scale
interactions between humans and machines, particularly when the machines' intended …
