Crowdsourcing provides a popular paradigm for data collection at scale. We study the problem of selecting subsets of workers from a given worker pool to maximize the accuracy under a budget constraint. One natural question is whether we should hire as many workers as the budget allows, or restrict on a small number of topquality workers. By theoretically analyzing the error rate of a typical se...
We consider the maximization of a gross substitutes utility function under budget constraints. This problem naturally arises in applications such as exchange economies in mathematical economics and combinatorial auctions in (algorithmic) game theory. We show that this problem admits a polynomial-time approximation scheme (PTAS). More generally, we present a PTAS for maximizing a discrete concav...
This paper first examines various definitions of Kornai’s soft budget constraint (SBC) and the difficulties involved in interpreting data on losses, subsidies and financing, and then considers selective evidence from transition economies. Stocks of overdue trade credit are no larger than in Western economies and firms in transition economies (TEs) typically impose hard budget constraints on eac...
We examine mechanism design with transferable utility and budget balance, using techniques we developed for the study of repeated games. We show that with independent types, budget balance does not limit the set of social choice functions that can be implemented. With correlated types and three or more players, budget balance is again not a constraint if no player has "too many" more possible t...
This study aims to discuss approaches to assessing the value of medicines. Economic evaluation assesses value by means of the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER). Health is maximized by selecting medicines with increasing ICERs until the budget is exhausted. The budget size determines the value of the threshold ICER and vice versa. Alternatively, the threshold value can be inferred from...
We characterize the efficiency space of deterministic, dominant-strategy incentive compatible, individually rational and Pareto-optimal combinatorial auctions in a model with two players and k nonidentical items. We examine a model with multidimensional types, private values and quasilinear preferences for the players with one relaxation: one of the players is subject to a publicly known budget...
Capacitated covering models aim at covering the maximum amount of customers’ demand using a set of capacitated facilities. Based on the assumptions made in such models, there is a unique scenario to open a facility in which each facility has a pre-specified capacity and an operating budget. In this paper, we propose a generalization of the maximal covering location problem, in which facilities ...
We consider the problem of task allocation in crowdsourcing systems with multiple complex workflows, each of which consists of a set of inter-dependent micro-tasks. We propose Budgeteer, an algorithm to solve this problem under a budget constraint. In particular, our algorithm first calculates an efficient way to allocate budget to each workflow. It then determines the number of inter-dependent...
