摘要:
The purpose of this paper is to explore whether the standard results of classical general equilibrium theory still hold in private information economies where the possibility of renegotiation of initial contracts (lotteries) is allowed. We establish that competitive equilibria with contracts (lotteries) exist and are optimal for the class of private information economies in which principal-agent problems are characterized by moral hazard and renegotiation-proof contracts (lotteries). We also show that financial intermediaries arise endogenously in this environment: financial intermediaries are part of an efficient arrangement which is needed to support the competitive equilibrium allocations of our private information economy.
