Regulation under Wealth Constraints

This article studies the problem of regulating a monopolist with unknown marginal cost. The problem described differs from Baron and Myerson [1982] because we suppose that the regulator faces a cash-in-advance constraint. The introduction of such a constraint may lead to the collapse of the incentive system.
