Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The development of the theory of incentives has been a major advance in economics in the last fifty years. The objective of this course is to provide easy access to this theory for graduate students in business administration, economics, and finance. Most of the course is devoted to the static principal-agent model with complete contracts. The course discusses the transaction costs created by contracting under asymmetric information in the simplest possible framework that does not require advanced game-theoretic concepts.
