Dynamic Contracting with Adverse Selection: An Irrelevance Result
This paper considers a dynamic contracting problem where the principal makes a decision in each period and the agent’s type stochastically evolves over time. We transform the model into one where the agent’s new information is independent in each period, and characterize necessary conditions for a mechanism to be incentive compatible. We also show that any monotonic decision rule can be impleme...
متن کاملChoosing the Right Battlefield for the War on Drugs: An Irrelevance Result
We describe a model where the effectiveness of a specific tax imposed by a government seeking to minimize consumption of some good is independent of whether the tax is imposed at the manufacturing or retail level.
متن کاملTop Trading Cycles in Prioritized Matching: An Irrelevance of Priorities in Large Markets
We study top trading cycles in a two-sided matching environment (Abdulkadiroglu and Sonmez (2003)) under the assumption that individuals’ preferences and objects’ priorities are drawn iid uniformly. We show that the number of individuals/objects assigned at each round follows a simple Markov chain and we explicitly derive the transition probabilities. This Markov property is used to shed light ...
متن کاملDynamic contracting: An irrelevance theorem
This paper generalizes a conceptual insight in dynamic contracting with quasilinear payoffs: the principal does not need to pay any information rents for extracting the agent’s “new” private information obtained after signing the contract. This is shown in a general model in which the agent’s type stochastically evolves over time, and her payoff (which is linear in transfers) depends on the ent...
متن کاملCentralizing information in networks
In the dynamic game we analyze, players are the members of a fixed network. Everyone is initially endowed with an information item that he is the only player to hold. Players are offered a finite number of periods to centralize the initially dispersed items in the hands of any one member of the network. In every period, each agent strategically chooses whether or not to transmit the items he ho...
