Query: Data-Driven Contract Design for Multi-Agent Systems with Collusion
  Detection   In applications such as participatory sensing and crowd sensing,
self-interested agents exert costly effort towards achieving an objective for
the system operator. We study such a setup where a principal incentivizes
multiple agents of different types who can collude with each other to derive
rent. The principal cannot observe the efforts exerted directly, but only the
outcome of the task, which is a noisy function of the effort. The type of each
agent influences the effort cost and task output. For a duopoly in which agents
are coupled in their payments, we show that if the principal and the agents
interact finitely many times, the agents can derive rent by colluding even if
the principal knows the types of the agents. However, if the principal and the
agents interact infinitely often, the principal can disincentivize agent
collusion through a suitable data-driven contract.
