Multi-Level Strategic Classification: Incentivizing Improvement through Promotion and Relegation Dynamics

arXiv:2602. 11439v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Strategic classification studies the problem where self-interested individuals or agents manipulate their response to obtain favorable decision outcomes made by classifiers, typically turning to dishonest actions when they are less costly than genuine efforts.
