An analytically solvable principal-agent model
We analyze a principal-agent model with moral hazard where the principal is risk neutral while the agent is risk averse or risk neutral. The agent is free to choose any probability distribution over outcomes, where some distributions require more effort than others. The agent's effort-cost function is of “Legendre type” and satisfies an axiom of invariance under mergers of outcomes that are equally paid by the principal. We analyze a family of su…

Robustness to strategic uncertainty in the Nash demand game
Social Norms and Economic Incentives in the Welfare State
This paper analyzes the interplay between social norms and economic incentives in the context of work decisions in the modem welfare state. We assume that to live off one's own work is a social norm, and that the larger the population share adhering to this norm, the more intensely it is felt by the individual. Individuals face two choices: one economic, whether to work or live off public transfers; and one political, how large the transfer shoul…

Altruism and Time Consistency
This paper analyzes the strategic and intertemporal interaction between two economic agents who have "overlapping" concerns, such as altruistic concerns for each other's welfare. The agents may be two individuals, a social bureau and a client, or two units in an organization. The authors show how the presence of such common concerns may lead to socially inefficient outcomes, in which one economic agent "free rides" on the other's concerns. They a…
Paternalism, buyers' and sellers' market
On the Numerical Measurement of Accessibility
The aim of this paper is to clarify the validity of a fairly broad range of numerical indicators of accessibility. To this purpose a measurement-theoretic framework is presented, where accessibility is considered as a property of configurations of opportunities for spatial interaction. Within this framework a few established indicators of accessibility are discussed and notions of separable, additive, and maxitive indicators are introduced. An an…
