Despite the vast research literature on topics relating to contract theory, only a few of the field's core ideas are covered in microeconomics textbooks. This long-awaited book fills the need for a comprehensive textbook on contract theory suitable for use at the graduate and advanced undergraduate levels. It covers the areas of agency theory, information economics, and organization theory, highlighting common themes and methodologies and presenting the main ideas in an accessible way. It also presents many applications in all areas of economics, especially labor economics, industrial organization, and corporate finance. The book emphasizes applications rather than general theorems while providing self-contained, intuitive treatment of the simple models analyzed. In this way, it can also serve as a reference for researchers interested in building contract-theoretic models in applied contexts.The book covers all the major topics in contract theory taught in most graduate courses. It begins by discussing such basic ideas in incentive and information theory as screening, signaling, and moral hazard. Subsequent sections treat multilateral contracting with private information or hidden actions, covering auction theory, bilateral trade under private information, and the theory of the internal organization of firms; long-term contracts with private information or hidden actions; and incomplete contracts, the theory of ownership and control, and contracting with externalities. Each chapter ends with a guide to the relevant literature. Exercises appear in a separate chapter at the end of the book.

Too long to be covered.

不完全契约章节对GHM模型解释得比较到位了,还包括可观察不可验证信息下的Nash实施,算是最出彩的部分。前面的Screen,也真是手把手教,比较赞!

终于啃完了✨✨✨ 案例讲解,经济理解和数理论证俱佳👁😍 一直散发着活力的领域,也是(一定程度上)最具有统一社会科学理论潜质的领域,期待更多互动图景的数理和经济刻画,以及已有模型在政治学、组织学领域进行更多拓展。 开始看论文!

少有的非常具有可读性的高级教材。观点够高,融会贯通,每一笔都体现功力。作者毫不吝惜数学推导之外的笔墨,让这本书更加接近课堂,感谢!个人认为的完全契约和不完全契约封高潮章节是8和13,超级高潮的阅读体验。懂了理论,你对现实中的组织、激励问题不一定会有正确的认识,但一定不会犯愚蠢的错误。
