On the morning commute problem in a Y-shaped network with individual and household travelers by He, Dongdong, Liu, Yang, Zhong, Qiuyan, Wang, David Zhi Wei

“…When the demand of individuals is relatively low, the staggering policy may not improve social welfare. When the demand of individuals is high, social welfare can be significantly improved if the schedule gap between the work start time and school start time is optimized. …”

Social interactions and the prophylaxis of SI epidemics on networks by Bouveret, Géraldine, Mandel, Antoine

“…We then characterise the scope for Pareto improvement opened by such policies through a notion of Price of Autarky, measuring the ratio between social welfare at a global and a local equilibrium. Overall, our results show that individual behaviours can be extremely inefficient in the face of epidemic propagation but that policy can take advantage of the network structure to design welfare improving containment policies.…”

Algorithmic management for improving collective productivity in crowdsourcing by Yu, Han, Miao, Chunyan, Chen, Yiqiang, Fauvel, Simon, Li, Xiaoming, Lesser, Victor R.

“…Crowdsourcing systems are complex not only because of the huge number of potential strategies for assigning workers to tasks, but also due to the dynamic characteristics associated with workers. Maximizing social welfare in such situations is known to be NP-hard. …”
