I show that stochastic contracts generate powerful incentives when agents suffer from probability distortion. When …, which expose the agent to a high degree of risk, generate higher performance than cost-equivalent contracts with lower or no … risk exposure.

This paper studies a model of mechanism design with transfers where agents' preferences need not be quasilinear. In such a model, (1) we characterize dominant strategy incentive compatible mechanisms using a monotonicity property; (2) we establish a revenue uniqueness result: for every dominant...

A multi-tournament environment is analyzed, focusing on the impact of organizer market structure on agent entry behavior. Two high ability agents first decide which tournament to enter (with fields then filled by low ability agents). If the marginal benefit of high ability agents in an event is...
