An Introduction to the Economics of Information: Incentives and Contracts

by Ines Macho-Stadler, J. David Perez-Castrillo, Richard Watt (Translator)

This is an advanced textbook on the theory of contracting under asymmetric information, a key part of modern microeconomic theory. It examines the characteristics of optimal contracts when one party has certain relevant knowledge that the other party does not. The various problems are
presented in the same framework to allow easy comparison of the different results. The authors indicate substantial real-world applications, and exercises for students (with solutions) are provided at the end of each chapter.
