Dilemma in two game structures for a closed-loop supply chain under the influence of government incentives

The objective of this study is to highlight pros and cons of two incentive policies, namely (1) incentive on manufacturer’s R&D investment and (2) direct incentive to consumer based on greening level of the product on...

Impatience vs. Incentives

This paper studies the long-run dynamics of Pareto-optimal self-enforcing contracts in a repeated principal-agent framework with differential discounting. In such a setting, impatience concerns encourage contracts to favor the patient player in the long run and incentive concerns encourage contracts to favor the agent in the long run. When these two forces are aligned or one is relatively stron...

Research vs. Teaching: An Ethical Dilemma for the Academic Physicist

Adversary Gain vs. Defender Loss in Quantified Information Flow

Metrics for quantifying information leakage assume that an adversary’s gain is the defender’s loss. We demonstrate that this assumption does not always hold via a class of scenarios. We describe how to extend quantification to account for a defender with goals distinct from adversary failure. We implement the extension and experimentally explore the impact on the measured information leakage of...
