Teams now also produce the exceptionally ...

Consider Holmströms moral hazard in teams problem when there are n agents, each agent i has an ai-dimensional strategy space and output is m-dimensional. We show that a compensation mechanism that satis es budget balance, limited liability and implements an e¢ cient allocation generically exists if and only if Pn i=1 ai=(n 1) < m. Moreover, under a weak additional condition, the equilibrium im...

Paradoxically, this knowledge application phase contributes most to va...
