This paper provides a method to prove existence of solutions to some moral hazard problems with infinite set of outcomes. The argument is based on the concept of nondecreasing rearrangement and on a supermodular version of Hardy–Littlewood’s inequality. The method also provides qualitative...

In this paper we provide sufficient conditions for the validity of the first-order condition approach (FOCA) for two period dynamic moral hazard problems where the agent can save and borrow secretly, and we characterize the optimal contract. Recently, dynamic principal-agent models became very...
