Experiments

The goal of the experiments is to explore different parameter settings of the mechanism and how that affects the utility of agents.

Parameters

Meta parameters:

Interest rate for locked collateral
Wealth distribution

Mechanism parameters:

Payout function
Amount of collateral
Valuation of receiving an action
Valuation of performing an action

TCR parameters:

Boundaries of layers
Score for each action
Collateral factor

Experiments

We want to execute the following experiments:

Run a sample mechanism without the TCR
Run a mechanism with the TCR with the highest factor set to the collateral of the mechanism, subsequent factors are lower
Run a mechanism with the TCR with the lowest factor set to the collateral of the mechanism, previous factors are higher

Observations

We want to observe the following results:

Utility of each agent per round (payout - interest of locked collateral)
Social welfare

Further, we want to collect the following data from the smart contracts:

Cost of recording an action
Cost of updating the ranking
