the platform's forecast; when the miscalibration cost is high, the platform can achieve its commitment payoff in an … equilibrium, and the only extensive-form rationalizable strategy of the platform is its strategy in the commitment solution. Our … results show that miscalibration cost is a proxy for the degree of the platform's commitment power, and thus provide a …

Learning is crucial to organizational decision making but often needs to be delegated. We examine a dynamic delegation problem where a principal decides on a project with uncertain profitability. A biased agent, who is initially as uninformed as the principal, privately learns the profitability...

We analyze the optimal nonlinear income tax schedule for taxpayers with multiple incomes and multiple unobserved characteristics. We identify smoothness assumptions and extensions of the single crossing conditions that enable the characterization of the optimum through variational calculus. Both...

In Optimalsteuerlehre und Steuerpolitik werden Steuern auf höhere Einkommen und Vermögen kontrovers diskutiert. In Modellen, die auf wenigen empirisch zu bestimmenden Parametern beruhen, hängen die optimalen Spitzensteuersätze von den Anpassungsreaktionen der Steuerpflichtigen und von der...

This paper, intended for researchers, introduces a stochastic method for calculating the optimal tax schedule based on taxpayer utility, population skill distribution, and wages. It implements and extends the classic approach to optimal income tax calculation introduced by J.A. Mirrlees. A...
