摘要
In a principal-agent model H with unobservable effort and possible renegotiation. contracts are assumed to satisfy two natural restrictions: limited liability for the agent and monotonicity of payments for the principal, The main result is that if the agent has the renegotiation bargaining power, any contract is weakly Pareto dominated by a debt contract.
