In this paper I consider games in which multiple informed principals simultaneously compete to in‡uence the decisions of a common agent. I focus on the problem of characterizing the equilibrium outcomes of such games. I …rst show that, to solve this problem, one can invoke neither Myerson’s Inscrutability Principle, which holds in agency games with one informed principal, nor the Extended Taxat...

We explore a simple model of the evolution via “loopholes” of incentive systems such as contracts, organizations, or regulatory regimes. Young principals, who are uncertain about what actions will be feasible for their agents, get limited observations of earlier agents’ behavior, and rationally update their beliefs about feasible actions. When old, they offer contracts that deter only the harmf...

The purpose of this study was to: (i) identify key informants who scored highest on school CR at baseline and (ii) determine the effects of Ready for Recess on changes in CR among school key inf...

We explore a simple overlapping-generations model of the evolution via “loopholes” of incentive systems such as contracts, organizations, or regulatory regimes. Young principals, who are uncertain about what actions will be feasible for their agents, get limited observations of earlier agents’ behavior, and rationally update their beliefs about feasible actions. When old, they offer contracts t...

In recent years, school management systems have become an important tool for effective e-leadership and data-based decision making. School systems emphasize an information flow and e-communication between teachers, students, and parents. This study examines e-leadership by secondary-school principals through the Mashov school system implemented in 500 Israeli schools in order to increase school...
