Information Processing and Incentives in Markets and Bureaucracies

这项研究将扩展组织内的信息处理工作，包括(a)区分和展示分散信息处理和分散决策的实时分层资源分配模型；(b)作为汇总信息和计算分配系统的市场模型，比较各种市场和官僚机制的计算效率；(c)激励约束和信息处理约束之间的关系模型，(d)由多个有界理性主体控制的自治组织之间的战略互动模型，以及(e)为动态环境中有界理性和学习的建模提供基础。在这个项目中使用的主要方法是将组织中的多智能体决策过程建模为实时分散控制。

The research will extend work on information processing in organizations including (a) a model of real-time hierarchical resource allocation that distinguishes between and exhibits decentralized information processing and decentralized decisionmaking, (b) models of markets as systems for aggregating information and calculating allocations, comparing the computational efficiency of various market an bureaucratic mechanisms, (c) models of the relationships between incentive constraints and information processing constraints, (d) models of strategic interactions between autonomous organizations each of which is controlled by multiple boundedly-rational agents, and (e) to provide foundations for modeling bounded rationality and learning in dynamic settings. The primary approach to be used in this project is modeling the process of multi-agent decisionmaking in organizations as real-time decentralized control.
