Tiivistelmä: | The agency framework is a formulation of a relationship between two parties, the principal and the agent, where the principal wants the agent to supply a productive input. This relationship is not frictionless. A simplified model is used to capture the information asymmetry leading to bias. Four possible fundamental bias drivers have been suggested: several input factors unobservable to principal, through signal jamming create a potential for investment bias; limited possibilities of risk spreading of human capital with managerial risk-aversion affect investment bias. The information asymmetries are primarily grouped into hidden action and private information; chain effects of exogenous frictions in capital markets may induce investment bias; non-verifiabilities of critical information pose problems of incentive and bias. |
