研究代理关系中重新谈判的影响,发现当委托人收到代理人行动的不可验证信号时,重新谈判能提高福利,这与Fudenberg和Tirole的结论相反。

Abstract

We examine the effects of renegotiation in an agency relationship. We show how renegotiation affects: (i) the set of actions the principal can induce the agent to take; and (ii) the cost of implementing a given action. We show that, when the principal receives an unverifiable signal of the agent's action, renegotiation can improve welfare. This result stands in contrast to Fudenberg and Tirole's (1990) finding that renegotiation lowers welfare when the principal receives no signal about the agent's action prior to renegotiation.
