| Tiivistelmä: | The authors consider the relationship between a local community and a private operator in charge of the water utility. They compute the first-best and asymmetric information solutions to the optimal contract, with private information on the operator's technology. Based on an econometric estimation of production cost and water demand for a panel of French local communities, the authors simulate the optimal contract solutions and show that asymmetric information has important consequences for the regulation of water public utilities. |
