In a typical corporate hierarchy, the manager is delegated the authority to make strategic decisions, and to contract with other employees. We study when such delegation can be optimal.

Benefic...
متن کاملPublic Contracting in Delegated Agency
We study games of public delegated common agency under asymmetric information. Using tools from non-smooth analysis and optimal control, we derive best responses and characterize equilibria (both continuous and discontinuous) using self-generating optimization programs of which any equilibrium allocation must be a solution. Special attention is given to common agency games in which each princip...
متن کاملPublic Contracting in Delegated Agency Games
This paper studies games of delegated common agency under asymmetric information. Using tools from non-smooth analysis and control, we derive best responses and equilibria under weak conditions on equilibrium schedules. Inefficiencies in equilibrium arise from two sources: inefficient contracting by a given coalition of active principals and inefficient participation (insufficient activity) by ...

This is a case of particular interest given the growing importance of ‘alternative’ assets like hedge funds and private equity funds in institutional portfolios. The alternative assets are often characterized by relatively illiquid or non-publicly traded holdings, proprietary strategies, and ...
