Principal Agent, Trust
The Diaspora Investment Dilemma
The Diaspora Investment Dilemma is a Principal Agent and Trust scenario illustrating Diaspora capital is abundant but conditional. The gap between willingness to invest and ability to trust local institutions is the binding constraint. A large overseas diaspora community wants to invest in tech development back home. They have capital and expertise. DecisionPlay maps the players, payoffs, and equilibrium dynamics that shape how this situation typically resolves.
