Renegotiation design with multiple regulators

Article Abstract:

The presence of multi-principal agents relationships is a compelling feature of the internal organization of governments. A study investigated this selected organizational structure and related issues. These issues include the factors behind this particular decentralization of powers, why regulators frequently have biased and limited objectives that differ from social welfare maximization, and the cost/benefits of the separation of regulators.

Strategic trade policy design with asymmetric information and public contracts corrigendum

Article Abstract:

Bunching takes place in equilibrium if certain boundary conditions related to adverse selection are considered. For unilateral intervention, bunching takes place on a subset of types. It also takes place during bilateral intervention but assumes a different form. Asymmetric equilibria exists if the government provides either a comprehensive pooling contract or a fully separating contract.

The result reflects the differing strategic considerations facing bidders in the Wilson and PS sequences of auctions.
