| Tiivistelmä: | About one sixth of national income is spent by local or national governments using contracts directly made with firms. The most popular are so-called incentive contracts: the payment made to the firm realizing a project is the sum of a fixed part function of the announced expected cost and of a linear sharing of the overrun. There is a coefficient which defines this linear sharing rule. Through a normative theory the optimal incentive schemes are derived. In the model the trade-offs between information transmission,risk sharing and ex-post efficiency are studied. |
