Replication-proof Bandit Mechanism Design with Bayesian Agents
Suho Shin, Seyed A. Esmaeili, MohammadTaghi Hajiaghayi
We study the problem of designing replication-proof bandit mechanisms when agents strategically register or replicate their own arms to maximize their payoff. Specifically, we cons…
