Moral Hazard, Hidden Effort
The Ghost Coworker
The Ghost Coworker is a Moral Hazard and Hidden Effort scenario illustrating When output looks strong, effort becomes invisible. If results are what matter, does the method. Your remote teammate's work is consistently high quality and always on time. Then you discover that most of their output is AI-generated — they write the prompts, review the outputs, and do minimal additional work. DecisionPlay maps the players, payoffs, and equilibrium dynamics that shape how this situation typically resolves.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What game theory model does this scenario illustrate?
- The Ghost Coworker illustrates Moral Hazard, Hidden Effort. When output looks strong, effort becomes invisible. If results are what matter, does the method?
- What is the Nash equilibrium?
- DecisionPlay computes equilibria using best-response iteration and support enumeration. See the interactive analysis for this scenario.
- Is this based on a real situation?
- Yes. DecisionPlay's library is drawn from real-world conflicts, negotiations, and decisions.
- How accurate is the analysis?
- DecisionPlay uses a deterministic game-theoretic core with an LLM-based classifier. Verify edge cases against the structural module.
- Do I need an account?
- No. DecisionPlay is free and requires no login.
