Distributional Robustness of Linear Contracts
Shiliang Zuo
Linear contracts are ubiquitous in practice, yet optimal contract theory often prescribes complex, nonlinear structures. We provide a distributional robustness justification for li…
Learning is Revelation in Disguise: Optimal Regret and Equivalence Results for Dynamic Pricing
Shiliang Zuo
We study dynamic pricing where a seller repeatedly interacts with a strategic, non-myopic buyer who has a fixed private valuation and discounts future utility. Prior work focused e…
Optimizing Contracts in Principal-Agent Team Production
Shiliang Zuo
We study a principal-agent team production model. The principal hires a team of agents to participate in a common production task. The exact effort of each agent is unobservable an…
Harnessing the Continuous Structure: Utilizing the First-order Approach in Online Contract Design
Shiliang Zuo
This work studies the online contract design problem. The principal's goal is to learn the optimal contract that maximizes her utility through repeated interactions, without prior…
