This talk focuses on the vanishing discount problem for first-order Hamilton–Jacobi (HJ) equations: as the discount parameter tends to zero, do discounted solutions converge and—when they do—which critical solution is selected? The question is closely linked to the ergodic approximation introduced...

We argue that simple delegation rules are optimal in the presence of uncertainty in how agents manipulate delegation rules for their own private interest by considering a max-min delegation design problem, in which the principal has limited information about the agent’s preferences. In particular,...

In many online markets, platforms engage in platform design by choosing product recom- mendation systems and selectively emphasizing certain product characteristics. I analyze the welfare effects of personalized recommendations in the context of the online market for hotel rooms using clickstream...

Markov decision processes (MDPs) are a standard model for dynamic systems that exhibit both stochastic and nondeterministic behavior. For MDPs with finite state space it is known that for a wide range of objectives there exist optimal strategies that are memoryless and deterministic. In...
