Beyond Homogeneous Adversaries: Stackelberg Security Games with Mixed Quantal Response

School of Computing and Information Systems The quantal response (QR) model is widely used in Stackelberg security games (SSGs) to capture boundedly rational adversaries. Existing work on SSGs under QR, however, almost exclusively assumes a homogeneous attacker population, ignoring heterogeneity in attacker preferences and rationality. We study SSG with mixed quantal response attackers, where the follower population consists of multiple discrete attacker types, each following a type-specific QR model. The defender allocates limited resources across targets, while an attacker drawn from this heterogeneous population observes the defender's strategy and attacks a single target. This results in a highly non-convex equilibrium computation problem. We develop a polynomial-time approximation scheme for this setting when the number of attacker types is bounded, based on an exponential cone programming formulation combined with a carefully designed Branch-and-Bound procedure. Experiments demonstrate that our approach outperforms standard gradient-based methods… Subtitle: Pre-Conference Talk by PHAM Hoang Giang. Contact: scisseminar@smu.edu.sg.

Organisational Behaviour & Human Resources Research Seminar

Area Administration While the work most people do today is, in many ways, easier and more comfortable than it was for previous generations, our day-to-day experience of the work environment can feel surprisingly difficult. In this presentation, I share three papers that each explore an intervention designed to help employees feel better—and work better—over the course of the workday. The first paper introduces a psychological intervention aimed at reducing work-related rumination during non-work hours. The second presents a physiological intervention designed to ease work-related anxiety. The third examines a technology-based intervention intended to smooth everyday social interactions at work. Together, these papers offer a range of approaches that can help employees thrive at work, without requiring changes to the work itself or to the broader work environment.

Finance Research Seminar

Area Administration We study how resolving local land-use uncertainty affects household reinvestment. Using a nationwide panel linking single-family properties to newly established conservation easements, we compare properties near easement boundaries to similar properties farther away. An event-study design with property and easement-by-year fixed effects reveals that properties within 100 meters of a newly formed easement experience a 1.5--2\% increase in assessed improvement value relative to properties 100--500 meters away, with effects attenuating with distance. This is mirrored by real investment behavior: proximate properties are about 1.6 percentage points more likely to exhibit changes in living area. Our findings constitute evidence for environmental certainty as a key driver of homeowner investment and indicate local spillovers from conservation.
