A new type of agents, called semi-cooperative (SC) agents is proposed for this environment. When these agents negotiate with each other they reach a pareto-optimal solution that is mutually beneficial. Through extensive experiments we demonstrate the superiority of providing such agents for humans over supplying equilibrium agents or letting people design their own agents. These results are based on our observation that most people do not modify SC agents even though they are not in equilibrium. Our findings introduce a new factor ---human response to provided agents --- that should be taken into consideration when developing agents that are provided to a population.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2007/227","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2007/0227.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2007/227.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2007/bibtex/227","volume":{"slug":"2007","title":"Proceedings of the Twentieth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 2007","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2007/","year":2007,"location":"Hyderabad, India","dates":"","editors":"Ramon López de Mántaras","isbn":"","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":null,"track":"","number":227,"pages":{"first":1408,"last":1413},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[{"position":1,"raw":"[Croson and Marks, 2001] R.
