Forthcoming in Econometrica IMPLEMENTING THE FIRST BEST IN AN AGENCY RELATIONSHIP WITH RENEGOTIATION: A CORRIGENDUM1

چکیده
Abstract: The proof of Proposition 4 in Hermalin and Katz (1991) is incorrect, because it fails to check post-renegotiation utilities against the incentive compatibility constraints. This note states and proves a comparable proposition with a slightly stronger assumption regarding the monotonicity of bargaining. This result vindicates the central intuition of Hermalin and Katz about the potential insignificance of the observable, but unverifiable distinction in contracting.

We begin by identifying a countervailing effect: ...
متن کاملMoral Hazard and Renegotiation: Multi-Period Robustness
Is the second best outcome of static agency models renegotiation proof? In models with one period of renegotiation, Fudenberg and Tirole (1990) answer no when the principal makes the offer, while Ma (1994) and Matthews (1995) answer yes when the agent makes the offer. This paper analyzes the robustness of these two claims when there are more periods of renegotiation. With a known number of peri...
