摘要:
Demski, Sappington, and Spiller [J. Econ. Theory 44 (1988), 156-167] explore the effects of bankruptcy constraints on incentive schemes when two risk-neutral agents operate in correlated environments. For a setting in which the agents receive their private information before contracts are agreed upon they claim that the truthtelling equilibrium induced by a pair of optimal direct schemes is necessarily subgame dominated. The present paper shows how the reward functions in the Demski-Sappington-Spiller revelation schemes can costlessly be modified so as to destroy all ''pretending'' equilibria which dominate the truth-telling one.
