Peer reporting in team operations: externalities of Loyalty
Nitin Bakshi, Manu Goyal
University of Utah, United States of America
In team settings, it is critical to mitigate moral hazard, and induce reporting of any shirking. However, agents can free-ride, which exacerbates moral hazard; and deep-rooted loyalty considerations prevent peer reporting. We study peer reporting in a team of one principal and two agents. One of the agents may be loyal: doesn’t shirk and doesn’t report shirking. We show that even a small probability of such a loyal agent unravels reporting.

1Indiana University, USA; 2Yuriy Fedkovych Chernivtsi National University, Ukraine
The flow of humanitarian aid as a response to the Russian Federation’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine was unprecedented. In this paper, we analyze the pressing issues of how to regulate the delivery of humanitarian aid to the final beneficiaries, preventing its loss and misuse due to corrupt behavior in the delivery process.
Beyond cookies: evidence about team environment and engagement retention from girl scouts cookie program
Tom Fangyun Tan, Bradley Staats
TBD
Girl Scouts' Cookie Program aims to develop girls' skills, but retaining their engagement is crucial. We analyze troop-based factors influencing engagement retention.
Small troop size, balanced sales performance, high adult-to-girl ratio, scout level heterogeneity, and troop-based booth sales positively impact retention.
NPOs can enhance engagement by focusing on team composition, relationship-building, and understanding the factors driving retention in volunteer and fundraising activities.
