Incentives to Help in Multi-Agent Situations
Abstract
This paper concerns moral hazard problems in multiagent situations where cooperation is an issue. Each agent allocates effort to his own task and to other tasks as "help." The principal may prefer an unambiguous division of labor by inducing each agent to specialize in his own task, or prefer teamwork where each agent is motivated to help other agents. A sufficient condition for teamwork to be optimal is presented. A nonconvexity of the optimal task structure is also shown: the principal wants either strict specialization or substantial teamwork.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
