Coordination and Incentive Contracts in Project Management under Asymmetric Information
We study the problem of the manager of a project consisting of two sub-projects or tasks which are outsourced to different subcontractors. The project manager earns more revenue from the project if it is completed faster, but he cannot observe how hard subcontractors work, only the stochastic duration of their tasks. We derive the optimal linear incentive contracts to offer to the subcontractor...

We consider a setting where the investor faces moral hazard with respect to the effort and risk choices of the portfolio manager. The manager’s employment contract promises her: (a) a fixed payment, (b) a proportional asset-based fee, (c) a benchmark-linked fulcrum fee, and (d) a benchmark-linked option-type “bonus” incentiv...

However, some manufacturers impose delayed payment contracts under which each supplier is paid only after all suppliers have completed their tasks. In this paper, we investigate whether or not the...

There are B2B relationships that presume cooperation in contract enactment. This issue should be taken into account when modeling, for computational handling, contractual commitments through obligations. Deadline obligations have been modeled by considering that reaching the deadline without compliance brings up a violation. When modeling commitments in business contracts, directed obligations ...
