Simulating Project Work Processes and Organizations: Toward a Micro-Contingency Theory of Organizational Design

Levitt, Raymond E.; Thomsen, Jan; Christiansen, Tore R.; … - In: Management Science 45 (1999) 11, pp. 1479-1495

bridges rigorously between cognitive and social psychological micro-organization theory and sociological and economic macro …-organization theory for project teams. VDT-3 has been used to model and simulate the design of two major subsystems of a complex satellite … launch vehicle. This case study provides initial evidence that the micro-contingency theory embodied in VDT-3 can be used to …

Incentives for Experimenting Agents

Horner, Johannes; Samuelson, Larry - Cowles Foundation for Research in Economics, Yale University - 2009

We examine a repeated interaction between an agent, who undertakes experiments, and a principal who provides the requisite funding for these experiments. The repeated interaction gives rise to a dynamic agency cost—the more lucrative is the agent’s stream of future rents following a failure,...

The simple analytics of information and experimentation in dynamic agency

Jeitschko, Thomas D.; Mirman, Leonard J.; Salgueiro, Egas - Departamento de Economia, Gestão e Engenharia … - 2004

The dynamics of a stochastic, two–period principal–agent relationship is studied. The agent’s type remains the same over time. Contracts are short term. The principal designs the second contract, taking the information available about the agent after the first period into account. Compared...

Incentives for Experimenting Agents

Horner, Johannes; Samuelson, Larry - Cowles Foundation for Research in Economics, Yale University - 2009

We examine a repeated interaction between an agent, who undertakes experiments, and a principal who provides the requisite funding for these experiments. The agent’s actions are hidden, and the principal cannot commit to future actions. The repeated interaction gives rise to a dynamic agency...

Reporting Frequency and Substitutable Tasks

Lukas, Christian - Fachbereich Wirtschaftswissenschaften, Universität Konstanz - 2010

The optimal reporting frequency is an important issue in accounting. In many production settings, substitution effects across periods occur. This paper shows that the optimal reporting frequency depends on the strength of the substitution effect and on the information content of performance...

Incentives for Experimenting Agents

Horner, Johannes; Samuelson, Larry - Cowles Foundation for Research in Economics, Yale University - 2009

We examine a repeated interaction between an agent, who undertakes experiments, and a principal who provides the requisite funding for these experiments. The agent's actions are hidden, and the principal, who makes the offers, cannot commit to future actions. We identify the unique Markovian...

Yet Another Reason to Tax Goods

Costa, Carlos E da - Econometric Society - 2004

In this article we write a two period taxation model where: \QTR{it}{i)} private information changes through time; \QTR{it}{ii)} savings choices by an agent that are not observed, \QTR{it}{iii)} affect preferences conditional on the realization of types. The simultaneous appearance of these three...
