This research explores how an institution can manipulate blame to influence engagement, despite not being able to directly observe effort.
Theoretical framework analyzing blame and engagement protocols.
Examining the effects of varying stakes and private value on monitoring efforts.
Identifying boundaries in the engagement response based on different protocols.
A rising stake can either destroy engagement permanently, over a bounded interval, or not at all based on chosen protocols.
The dynamics of blame and private value influence the engagement thresholds and intervals identified in specific protocols.
In absence of private value, a bounded interval for engagement fills the space between specified rays of influence.
