| 讲座简介： | We provide a generalized model concerning the one-shot pure-strategy moral hazard contracting game with the inclusion of observable actions as well as unobservable actions. The outcome, action, and reward spaces are assumed to be all metrizable and compact and allowed to be uncountable and multi-dimensional. We find that employing observable-action-and-outcome-contingent contracts is strategically equivalent to employing pure outcome-contingent contracts, as long as the principal can specify and enforce individual rational observable actions to the agent. This transformation result brings analytic advantage in relevant scenarios. We then propose conditions under which the optimal solution to such a principal-agent problem exists. |
