Regulating a Risk-Averse Firm Under Incomplete Information
We examine the optimal regulatory policy for a risk-averse rm when the rm is imperfectly informed about its e¢ ciency parameter for a project at the time of contracting. The rms risk aversion shifts the optimal regulatory policy from a xed-price contract to a cost-plus contract. The optimal regulatory policy entails undere¤ort by an ine¢ cient rm as in Lafont and Tirole (1986) and the e¤o...
متن کاملFair pricing of REDD-based emission offsets under risk preferences and benefit sharing
We consider risk-aware forest owners and electricity producers evaluating the Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD)-based offsets with a benefitsharing mechanisms under uncertain CO2 prices. For a range of CO2 prices and respective risks perceived by the forest owner (seller) and electricity producer (buyer), we apply a model of fair (indifference) pricing. Parties’ risk p...

متن کاملEndogenous Risk, Incentives and Aggregate Fluctuations
This paper analyzes a model in which incentive constrained contracting implies both ampli cation and intertemporal propagation of technology shocks. In the model risk averse agents choose between a riskless technology and a risky technology with higher expected return but also with moral hazard. Under the assumption of decreasing absolute risk aversion and intratemporal incentive provision agen...
متن کاملAdaptive Route Choices in Risky Traffic Networks: A Prospect Theory Approach
This paper deals with route choice models capturing travelers’ strategic behavior when adapting to revealed traffic conditions en route in a stochastic network. The strategic adaptive behavior is conceptualized as a routing policy, defined as a decision rule that maps from all possible revealed traffic conditions to the choices of next link out of decision nodes, given information access assump...
