| Abstract
|
:
|
This thesis studies incentive contracts in multi-agent systems with applications to transportation policy. The early adoption of emerging transportation systems such as electric vehicles (EVs), peer-to-peer ridesharing, and automated vehicles (AVs) relies on governmental incentives. Those incentives help achieve a specific market share target, prevent irregular behaviors, and enhance social benefit. Yet, two challenges may impede the implementation of such incentive policies. First, the government and subsidized organizations must confront the uncertainty in a market; Second, the government has no access to the organizations' private information, and thus their strategies are unknown to it. In the face of these challenges, a command-and-control incentive policy fails.
