[Time and Space Economy Salon Issue 34] Optimal Sequence for Teamwork
Lecture time: 15:00-17:00, June 19, 2018 (Tuesday)
Venue: 611 Siyuan East Building
Lecture summary:
This paper analyzes a principal-agent model to study how the architecture of peer monitoring affects the optimal sequence of task assignment in teamwork. The agents work on a joint project, each responsible for an individual task. The principal determines the sequence of executing tasks as well as the rewards. Agents may observe one another's effort based on an exogenous network as well as the endogenous sequence. We focus on networks composed of stars, and find a simple algorithm to characterize the optimal sequence of task assignment.
