Social welfare optimisation under institutional reward and punishment
Researchers develop a welfare-centric framework for designing institutional incentives in multi-agent systems, revealing that schemes optimized for cost-efficiency or cooperation rates often fail to maximize total social welfare. The study provides mathematical models and algorithms for reward and punishment mechanisms in social dilemmas, showing when each approach outperforms the other.
