Summary, etc. This book focuses on the principal-agent model, the simple situation where a principal or company, delegates a task to a single agent through a contract the essence of management and contract theory. How does the owner or manager of a firm align the objectives of its various members to maximize profits? Following a brief historical overview showing how the problem of incentives has come to the fore in the past two centuries, the authors devote the bulk of their work to exploring principal-agent models and various extensions thereof in light of three types of information problems: adverse selection, moral hazard and non-verifiability. Offering an unprecedented look at a subject vital to industrial organization, labor economics and behavioral economics, this book is set to become the definitive resource for students, researchers and others who might find themselves pondering what contracts and the incentives they embody, are really all about.
