A Locally Undesirable Land Use (LULU) is a type of land use that creates externality costs on those living in close proximity (bad smells, poor aesthetics, health hazards etc.) Examples of LULUs include prisons, garbage dumps, power plants and homeless shelters. In a tender process, each local community is required to submit a bid for an amount of compensation for which they would accept the LULU near them. The community that submits the lowest bid, is paid their requested compensation and the LULU is placed near them.

A 'Mr. Big' operation is used by undercover police officers to elicit confessions from suspects. Police officers form a criminal organization and invite the suspect to join it. Over the course of months the police officers build a relationship with the suspect and encourage them to carry out small pre-planned crimes for financial reward.

'Mr. Big' operations have been used to successfully solve cold cases in Canada New Zealand and Australia.

The "control" model, variations of it used by Saudi Arabia, Iran and Turkey, more directly administers mosques/madrassas, appointing and overseeing Imams themselves, vetting Friday sermons, all to make sure the pulpit and madrassa delivers a state-approved message
