Mechanism Design with Endogenous Perception
We model endogenous perception of private information in single-agent screening problems, with potential evaluation errors. The agent's evaluation of their type depends on their cognitive state: either attentive (i.e., they correctly perceive their type) or inattentive (i.e., they might misperceive their type). The mechanism's incentives structure determines the agent's cognitive state via costly investment in cognition. We derive a general representation of attention incentives, show how they vary with the mechanism's allocation rule, and define a notion of accuracy of perception. In applications we showcase how perception both shapes and is shaped by the design of mechanisms.

Uncertainty in Mechanism Design
This paper studies the design of mechanisms that are robust to misspecification. We introduce a novel notion of robustness that connects a variety of disparate approaches and study its implications in a wide class of mec…
E2E-FANet: A Highly Generalizable Framework for Waves prediction Behind Floating Breakwaters via Exogenous-to-Endogenous Variable Attention
Accurate prediction of waves behind floating breakwaters (FB) is crucial for optimizing coastal engineering structures, enhancing safety, and improving design efficiency. Existing methods demonstrate limitations in captu…
Towards Robust Endogenous Reasoning: Unifying Drift Adaptation in Non-Stationary Tuning
Reinforcement Fine-Tuning (RFT) has established itself as a critical paradigm for the alignment of Multi-modal Large Language Models (MLLMs) with complex human values and domain-specific requirements. Nevertheless, curre…

We design profit-maximizing mechanisms to sell an excludable and non-rival good with positive and/or negative network effects. Buyers have heterogeneous private values that depend on how many others also consume the good…
Crowdsourced judgement elicitation with endogenous proficiency
Crowdsourcing is now widely used to replace judgement or evaluation by an expert authority with an aggregate evaluation from a number of non-experts, in applications ranging from rating and categorizing online content al…
