| Abstract: | To improve on the design of the production-sharing rule in a contract for exploration and development negotiated between a state-owned oil resources authority and a USA oil company, the Grossman and Hart (1983) principal-agent model is used. In the original contract, the company was granted a share of production as an incentive to maximize the net return to the authority. The optimal sharing rule developed here, increases the expected return to the authority by 6 percent by improving the company's incentives to choose an optimal exploration program. |
